I have an extender already, but it's a cheap one and bandwidth sucks. Any success stories?

Edit: Thanks all for your replies!

The other pro of this, you can map bad wifi signals with their app so know where to add another access point if needed. I've got solid concrete walls and have 3. One for downstairs, one for upstairs and one for the garden. I definitely don't need 3, I just didn't want any wifi black spots.

I would suggest to add those additional AP as soon as possible if going UniFi way, as adding more later might require to replace all units as we already saw multiple times with UniFi devices, as they are quick to deprecate old ones and make them not work with new ones.
