Wifi Extender recommendation

I have just joined Sky on Fibre 300. not wifi max.

It does not work well with my TP-Link extenders as the wifi max hub wont reach the rear bedrooms. With previous provider the extenders worked a treat. But sky does not play well with my TP Link. I had to access the hub via web browser to disable 2.4ghz to force it to join the 5ghz range.

Any recommendations for a wifi extender? I'm Told netgear work well? anyone have any experiance with sky and extenders and can recommend a model. I dont want to pay £30 a month to sky just to get an extender.

Thankyou all.

Presuming the TP-Link extenders have at least one ethernet port, move one of them to the same room as the router and connect via an ethernet cable. Turn off the Sky Max Hub wifi entirely and relocate the other extender(s) halfway to the farthest reach needed.
