Note it is the nature of the physics of radio transmissions that, other things being equal, 5GHz WiFi won't communicate over as long a distance as 2.4GHz will nor will it penetrate obstructions as effectively.
Using a dual-band mesh extender may suffice in your situation although I thought they would require a mesh-enabled router/AP. I ran an eero6 mesh network for six months in my townhouse last year and had good luck using it with moOde players, laptops, and Roku streamers.
As an alternative, have you considered using a pair of powerline network adapters to bridge between your router/AP and your moOde player? Perhaps your particular situation precludes using them but I have found them to be very effective. I used them in one case to bridge between floors in a townhouse and in another case to bridge between rooms on opposite ends of a large house. Even now, they are very helpful feeding an ethernet switch connected to a desktop computer, ethernet-only NAS, and ethernet-only laser printer in a workspace I can't reach from the router with an ethernet cable. Everything else in the house, including all test and production moOde players, is on WiFi.
Regards,
Kent
