Bumping this thread since I plan to tweak my setup. The TP-LinkAC750 extender is going to be shifted. And its place, I need a more powerful range extender. Should throw the wifi over a larger area.
You can go for a point to point wireless solution since wires are not allowed.
Sorry, I didn't read through this thread so don't know if it was already suggested.
The primary router is a Netgear R6400 on the ground floor and this is on the first floor connected through gigabit ethernet to it. I was getting full speeds (300 Mbps) throughout the house. I used the same WiFi network name but different channels so devices switch seamlessly between the two routers.
I was planning to get a WiFi 6e based mesh first but realized it's overkill for my parents usage.
You are looking for a Long Range AP, which are not exactly cheap. Instead get another cheap AP and set up Fast Roaming. TP-Link has their own proprietary OneMesh thing which doesn't require any configuration.
