    I faced the same problem.

    I tried to use extend feature but the speed was bit low, then I tried to use the extender as an AP, I couldn't get the full speed with that either. (I couldn't pass 60mbps)

    Now I have the main router in the 3rd floor, and running two cables for 1st and second floor and use separate AP for each floor. Only problem is almost all the APs we can buy in SL has 100mbps ports so Wifi speed is lmited to 100mbps.
    If we can get industrial AP, we should be able to get full 300+ speed with APs but those are super expensive.

    Its just caLled Wifi 6
    Cheapest u can go for is xiomi ac1200
    Run two lan cables to each floor comnect AP. mode use same ssid for each
    AP mode is the solution repeater mode not good
