Do I need to get a wifi extender or new router?

I have a netgear cg3000dv2. My internet connection is good in the living room 50 mbps download on a 300 mbps plan. However the signal seems to weaken once we go to the bedrooms. It drops to .5 mbps. We live in an apartment so it's not huge. It's around 950 sq ft. Roomate says wifi extenders don't work and we need a new router but I honestly have never had an issue with the router and believe the range is just off.

What should I get or change to fix the wifi signal range?
