Getting my strong signal out of my basement

I’ve just moved into a new house and my FIOS router is in my basement. The wi-fi signal in the rest of the house was weak so I bought a NETGEAR Nighthawk range extender.
When I’m in the basement and run a speed test, it’s about 300Mbps. Upstairs through the range extender it’s only about 30Mbps.
Any suggestions for how to get a better speed in the upstairs part of the house? Should I try to run an Ethernet cable from the router up into the house and connect it to something that would put out a stronger signal? Thanks for any advice.

What router do you have G3100? The $299 is wasted if you cannot get WiFi signal out of it. Try to purchase a G1100 on Ebay for $70 instead.
Do you have coax wiring to upstairs? If so, you can buy Verizon MoCA wireless bridges.
