Simple minded plug and play Wifi extenders use up to half the available

An old / spare router modem is much more useful, wired to a the main
router and usualy free.

Part of the problem would be having to have it wired, as that would mostly
negate it's usefulness.

No it does not when you want to have better wifi coverage
around the larger than normal house or multi story house
where a single router doesnt cover very well so you can use
your phone or tablet anywhere you like and in the garden etc.
