i need a bit of advice. we have a tp link c9 in our basement ......my wife's laptop (other end of house about 60 feet away and up one floor; passes by kitchen) frequently has lapses in signal strength. i was looking at extenders but am a bit confused about which would be best for my scenario. i think the best would be an extender that she can hardwire with ethernet and have it right next to her computer. i was looking at something like the tplink ac1200 extender but b/c the extender will be essentially as far away as the laptop i may need stronger antennas to pickup the c9 signal without losing much? in this case should i look for something that has a longer range as an extender? any recommendations for this instance. ......
 
Solution
The AV2 standard is the newest. Any products with that designation will be highest bandwidth and the most compatible with all types of household wiring.
