not well. any wifi to wifi extenders, even ones in regular routers, will slow down things because half the data its sending is being used up by maintaining the connection.

paying for 2 modems isn't very costly, but if you're rich i guess yeah go for it.

unless you're willing to run ethernet through your walls (i have mine routed along the basepanels on my floor) into another router running in AP mode, you could try these powerline adapters

you plug them into the walls, one into the router and the other into the whatever you need. they channel the connection through your power lines in your walls. in your case, i would plug one end into your router, and then buy another router and plug it in on the other side, and run the second one in Access Point mode or whatever its called on that model (DHCP turned off, look for that). then you could have another wifi network just for that area

but it might be bad if your power lines are old and worn, or if your circuitry is weird. but they're cheap enough to say hey give it a try and do some testing.
