Thanks in advance
you'll need to go to a mesh network setup. There is a potential to extend the network with another router via the jack ina jack to jack connection which will work fine with no "basement interference" however a mesh will give you additional coverage possibilities. You'll need something like the Omni where you can connect the satellites via LAN jack and they will also mesh wifi. not cheap as the other way but it gives a lot of flexibility.
