The "best" way to extend the wifi signal around your property is to run a Cat6a ethernet cable from one of the Hub ports and plug it into a good Wireless access point where needed.

Whats your budget?
Stick to the mainstream makers - Netgear/TP-Link/Linksys/Ubiquiti/Asus).
How big is the property (castle?3-bed semi? bedsit?) and what is its construction (thick stone walls,?iron rich Victorian red brick,? modern materials?)
Any outdoor or annexe coverage needed?
Can you run ethernet cable easily - if not look - at a Mesh system?
