Repeater/AP recommendation?

[Morpheus]

Hey guys. I have a small issue in my house in terms of wifi range. I currently have 2 routers in the house. The main one only covers about half the house with wifi so I have an ethernet cable that runs down to the other side of the house where I have another router to cover the rest of the house. The problem is they have different wifi names and my devices keep disconnecting when I walk around. Can anyone recommend a repeater? that would cover the rest of the house from my main router. Thank you!!

Your house must be large! My house is about 100 feet long, and I put a Netgear Nighthawk 1700 at one end and it reaches not only the other end of the house but all of my backyard.

I would strongly suggest the TP-Link AC1200 (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01N8ROH7G) or TP-Link AC750 (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00NR2VMNC), depending on how much you are willing to spend. I do not personally use either of these repeaters, as I DIYed a Raspberry Pi repeater, though my friends that have purchased the AC1200 have been more than satisfied with the performance it provides.

Hey do these have an ethernet input? That way I can just use it in place of the other router I currently have. Thanks again!
