I have a TL-WR841 which is used as a primary router and also have TL-PA8030P to extend the signals within the house and now I want to connect the second end of the Powerline to another wifi router.
Whats your suggestion? is it better to buy another TL WR841/TL-WR845N or any other ? #budget

TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 or TP-LINK Archer C20i
TL-WR941HP or 941ND

The second Router is used only as Access Point so the only thing that count is the level of WIFI that you need in the second location.

Since we do not know the way the second location enviroment is, and how it is going to be used, there is No way to tell what kind of Wireless Router/AP you need there.

got it, I had an alter plan to make my TL-WR841 router my access point router and upgrade my primary router to a better one. Is that a good idea ?

previously I was using a Netgear N300 WIRELESS ROUTER (JWNR2000) which knocked off and trying for a replacement ...

Giving that the WR841 is few generation behind it would be a Good idea to get a New main Router.

BTW. It is better to get a Wireless Router with External Antenna.

Good choice would be the TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750

If you use the Router as a Network storage a More expensive unit with USB 3 is recommended
