Alright /wsr/, I'm trying to extend the wi-fi range in my house. Problem is, I can't get the extenders to connect to my router, unless they're right next to it (I mean they say they're too far away when I plug them one room over, about 5 yards away).
What should I do? Is there another way to extend it? (Can I like buy a different router and plug that into the ethernet in a different part of the house and call it a day?)
Here's my current router http://us.dlink.com/products/connect/ac1200-wi-fi-router/
and current extenders

Preemptive thanks.

If you can, try boosting the transmit power of your routers antenna. Not too high because you'll burn that fucker.
Is your home Wi-Fi 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz? 5Ghz has some problems going through walls and other objects since it's a higher frequency.

I've found that Powerline adapters are far more effective than Wi-Fi extenders. You can get ones that can act as a Wi-Fi access point. As long as your electrics are wired properly, it should work well.
