Choosing a range extender

Who can help me?
I want to buy a range extender
I found three models:re700x..re815x..re900xd
I think they are the most suitable
But I am confused about choosing between them
I have a VX1800V router modem

@azzoug Word of advice, don't buy TP. I regret buying one as either the password was configured incorrectly or TP as a company remotely changed the password directly themselves after installation. Their app is awful to use as it bars you for 2 hours if you get your password wrong, especially if they're responsible for setting it it seems. Their community is unhelpful and absent. Never buying a TP product again. I'd advise you don't. Find something else, please I beg you.

Why
I have been with TP-Link extenders for many years.
I own 4 extenders .
Only when I changed the modem.
did I want to change the extender to the latest one

@azzoug I'm personally frustrated at their lack of support as their app has created a new condition for passwords for the Range Extender itself. Neither default password, Host WiFi Password nor manually input password is valid per these new conditions, when I updated the app, my old temperamental phone is only able to maintain access to the app itself because it was already logged in prior to updating. It's not user friendly at all to impose a new password, not inform the customer until they update the app and bar access to aforementioned app on new devices. I'm beyond frustrated right now.

@TP-sucks They're unlikely to make further changes to the password settings but as of right now I'm blocked from my own Range Extender and not getting any support, hence my angry profile name. They urged me to have a profile name along with the email. Discovering such as I have beef with them is a bad combination. I've had an email with TP-Link for over a year. Didn't need to access the forums or anything until now.

RE600X or RE605X are a good candidates too since they are rated AX1800 just as your VX1800v.

I bought a re700x..v2 eu
Same result
Even if it is only one meter away from the modem
Now I have four wifi extenders
It seems the problem is in the modem itself VX1800V
It needs to be updated to be compatible
Because I tried with the old modem vr400
And the result was great

Your VX1800v is with the latest FW release already. You can contact your local support for further assistance if you need it.
As I posted here, try to change VX1800v wireless settings (channel width) to pinpoint the sweet-spot where you'd get best bandwidth.

Thank you for this cooperation
I tried changing the channel width.
But not the desired result
I bought this modem on the basis that it is the latest.
And the result is not as I expected
I wish one of the technicians from the company would intervene
And answer us the reason
