I'm looking to move my home office from near the router at one end of the house to the other side of the house that I know my current router (wireless N single band) won't provide a good enough signal to.

Will a Wireless ac dual band router like a DLink DSL-2880AL give me a strong enough Wifi signal about 30m away especially for mobile devices like phones and tablets? Or should I just keep the existing router and get a wifi extender instead?

I prefer to get a new router if it can provide a strong enough signal as I won't get reduced speed due to adding a wifi extender.

Get a powerline WiFi extender if you can, not a wireless one.
Thanks everyone for your reply.

Just done some research on this and I think this will be the best option for me. It will allow wifi with minimal bandwidth loss in my new office and will enable better wifi signal to that side of the house also.

So, I just buy one of these powerline wifi extender and a normal powerline adapter. The normal powerline adapter is plugged into the router connected with ethernet cable and connecting the powerline wifi extender in my office and all should work?

Just got office setup with the TP-Link wifi extender. Worked perfectly. Whole house now has strong signal. No more black spots. Thanks everyone.
