Wifi Extender suggestion 1-1.5K

[cooldude94]

I have jio fiber modem/router installed in 1 room, the signal is weak in one of the far away room. I have installwd a LAN cable between the two rooms. Please suggest a wifi extender that will be used just to provide signal in that room. Looking for some affordable options.

Will this work?
D-Link DIR-615 Wi-fi Ethernet-N300 Single_band 300Mbps Router, Mobile App Support, Router | AP | Repeater | Client Modes(Black) costs 800.

Donot buy 300Mbps one if you are using 5GHz network. You will not get optimal speed.

I am using this one for my parents, cheaper and works flawlessly. MERCUSYS AC1200 Dual Band Wi-Fi Range Extender

In my second home, I am sometime use an old TPlink router in bridge mode.

A cheap 2nd router will surely be a good cheap option as you have LAN wire in 2nd room, but you will have 2 different wifi connections under same roof.

I only have 150 mbps speed connection, and am looking to connect second router via lan. will 5Ghz still benefit me?

I think mobile will reconnect to better connection if other is weak?

NO for the current bandwidth.
YES of you want to future proof the purchase.

Yes, I haven't seen more than 50-60Mbps on 2.4GHz WiFi.

Not as seemless as you would like, but yes.

One query guys,

My Network setup with Alliance Broadband is:--->

MATCH-EB-LINK(XPON ONU) Modem + Tp-Link Archer C6(WiFi Router)

Now, I have a Tp-Link RE200 Range Extender/Repeater configured and connected with this Network setup.

Can I use another Range Extender by Tp-Link or Netgear or any other manufacturer that will be connected (-and configured) by the Setup network(Archer C6 router) and use it?

Or will the existing RE200 interfere in the networking?

Another RE200 should have no issues with existing setup.
