I want to buy a wifi extender, and my real internet speed is about 100 mbps. My router have a good range in 2.4 Ghz, but not doing well in 5 Ghz. Will I get that speed through my wifi extender? Or I should invest in mesh system later? I think mesh network will be overkill for my place.
 
Throughput will depend on a lot of factors, band, number of streams in router and extender, distance and obstacles between router and extender to name a few.

Start with naming the router you are trying to extend and the conditions where you want the extension.

Mesh systems are a form of wireless extender. They are not going to work magic.
