We have a TP Link wifi extender I think it's the N300 (not 100%) but definitely doesnt read the 5ghz internet and in general sucks a fair bit.
Are there any wifi extenders that are quite good and can extend the 5ghz stream as well?

yep tenda mw3 or similar are pretty cheap these days
There was a deal for three MW3s for $100 recently.
The general consensus on this issue is to not buy extenders, as these just siphon of part of your current connection with little benefit. Instead invest in a Mesh Wifi Router system if you want to improve coverage. Will cost more but you'll get much more bang for your buck.
I know it cost a bit but I have google mesh (version 1) and I get wifi on my whole 700sq+ property, in a double brick home, where it was very patchy before.
I just got the Deco M5 3 pack for a 40 square home, it’s brilliant.
In my home I've got a Netgear Orbi router+satellite system, which is pricey but works brilliantly. For my backyard I didn't need something so complex (or expensive), so I bought a Netgear EX6150. Take a look into that.
There are loads of cheaper Chinese brands but stay clear if you value your security.
I actually dont mind my security at all. Any good chinese brands?
Get wifi mesh instead
