Best way to extend range on RT-BE88U? Small dead spot that I need to get coverage to.

Hi,

I upgraded our wi-fi recently and installed an RT-BE88U. Definitely happy with the new hardware, but I do have a dead spot in my daughter's room that I would like to get coverage to. Originally, I tried using the older N66U to extend, but the results were not great.

The BE88U is in the living room and my daughter's room is above the garage. We get great coverage into the first 10 feet or so of her room and the rest gets sporadic, if any coverage. Unfortunately, her bed and desk are in the dead area. What would be the best way to extend full coverage into her room without breaking the bank? I can't move the hardware for multiple reasons, so looking to add an extender or whatever may be suited for the task. I've never had to deal with dead spots on wi-fi before, so don't have much experience and which is why I'm here :)

My daughter is only here one weekend a month, so trying to do it without spending hundreds of dollars, but will do what is necessary to extend the coverage.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Mog
