I'd go with the Linksys Wireless AC 1200 Wireless Extender. Every once in a while, it drops below the 80 dollar mark with sales and such, but for the most part, it's worth the 10 dollars more than 80.
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Any range extender will work, the extender setup will ask, or search for your SSID WiFi name and ask for your wifi password.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It depends on the distance from your router to your basement and the construction of the building (rebar etc) but the signal strength of this router can be turned way up by changing a user setting, so you may not need to boost the signal with an additional device or repeater.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The $80 limit is a challenge. Ideally you'd get a second Asus RT-AC68U and configure it as a range extended, but that is $130. If you can find them, Asus has a $40 EA-N66R range extender. But I haven't seen one for awhile. This should not be confused with the USB-N66 wireless adapter that looks identical to the EA-N66R which, I believe can be used as a wireless extender, but requires to be plugged into a PC. Another option is the Netgear WN3000RP range extender. By going with a different brand, you *can* lose some of the proprietary features, but the core standard (802.11n) is still there.
