Recommendation for good WiFi extender

[svt11]

Hi, I need good wifi extender. Task I have is to install pos printer on a location which you can't have cable connection. I need extender to have lan port and connect the printer to it. More dBi will be better opton... I had somewhere TP-Link but I think I won't anymore TP-Link. Can you recommend me other brand? It just must be compact. Thank you.

Printer is not PoE capable. It's fiscal esc/pos printer. I'll buy something from ASUS with good dBi antennas.

is it wireless or wired or usb ?

I'm not even going to pretend I know how it compares to the rest of the market place but I've had good luck with my ol' AC 1200 Netgear 6150. Dual band radio, 1 Ethernet port, fairly compact, about $60.

Since you're not planning on "repeating" the signal a single band (2.4GHz only) device should meet your needs for a little less.

You could also opt for one of those old wireless bridge devices, 1 Ethernet port into a wireless bridge that simply turns your old printer into a wireless client. They used to be popular with Ethernet gaming stations that needed a wireless connection. Cheaper but a little bigger form factor. If you're interested I've one at work (that I use on our old eStudio 282 printer) and can check out the make/model for you.
