Q: wi-fi extender

I currently am using an Airport Extreme as my router.  I want to extend my network, and am debating between a second Airport Extreme, or using an Airport Express.  Does anyone have any recommendations between the Extreme and the Express?

MacBook Air, iOS 9.2.1

A:

Although the Express will certainly work, the Extreme would potentially provide better overall bandwidth performance over the Express. If this is not critical to you, then the Express may be the less costly option. Also note that the latest version of the Express still only provides 802.11n.
