I'm trying to fix my far away wifi issue that is weak, slow, unstable, and not connecting in the mostly one floor home. Currently, I use an old Netgear R6300 v1 from 2012 or so. It works great in close by rooms, but not far away rooms like the kitchen,

Look for a router or access point with MIMO. Three aerials. They can
beam the radio in the direction of the gadget you are using, thus
increasing range and "speed".

Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 Desktop WiFi Range Extender (EX7000-100NAS; AC1900) had three aerial
sticks which didn't help even after adjusting. I used to have an old Linksys WRT54GL v1.1
router with two aerial sticks, and that was worse before Netgear R6300 v1.0 router.

By "range extender" you mean something that is not connected by Ethernet
to your network? That sort of thing is never going to work fine.
Of course, not only your router needs to be powerful enough, your
portable devices need also to be powerful enough.

Correct. Both extenders were like that.

Many portable wifi devices (e.g., iPhone 4S and 6+, iPad Air, MacBook Pros from 2012 and
2008), etc. are old.
I tried two different wifi extenders (Linksys RE4000W N600 Dual-Band Wireless Range Extender and Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 Desktop WiFi Range Extender (EX7000-100NAS; AC1900) -- both have updated stock firmwares) to match the old router's wifi two (regular + guest WAPs) SSIDs, but they were unstable, not connecting, slow, etc. Many times, I had to physically reboot the extenders to fix the issues. I already tried changing their channels to avoid conflicts with neighbors, Arlo's base stations, etc.

Why? Why are you spending money on extenders to extend the range of an
old turd of a router? C'mon.. Spend the money on a new router. WiFi
tech has increased massively in the last 8 years. We've got all sorts of
new MIMO and beamforming capabilities. Hell, you don't have to spend
more than $28 to get MIMO. So why waste money on extending the range of
an ancient piece-of-shit (no offense)?

Then what would probably work is two (or more if needed) good access
points, connected by cable, in different points of the house, so that
all rooms get good signal.

Hence, why I am thinking of getting a new router since it's old. What's
a good one? Someone told me to look into mesh types like Netgear Orbi,
Amazon eero, Google Nest, etc. However, they don't meet my requirements
so far.

Whatever you do end up getting, unless you need the bandwidth provided
by the default 80MHz wide signal, please narrow it down. ORBIs are, by default, bandwidth wasting pieces of shit. Few people actually have 1
GBPS connections but ORBIs are set to an 80MHz wide signal that simply pollutes the local wireless spectrum.

I wished the owners would let me cable this big house, but they won't. :(
