Which WiFi Access point should I buy?

I am looking for a Wireless access point. I have a broadband connection downstairs and Ethernet point in my upstair bedroom. Rather than extending the wifi, I am looking to get the max out of my cable broadband connection. So I would need to connect the wired cable broadband connection to a Wireless access point via LAN cable. Not in near future I might go for Gigabit Ethernet.

Which one of the below TP link access points would serve my purpose?

1. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Universal-Extender-Broadband-UK-RE450/dp/B0725Y1VZ7/
TP-Link AC1750 - £59.99

2. https://www.amazon.co.uk/RE650-Universal-Extender-Broadband-UK/dp/B0725Y1VZ7
TP-Link RE650 AC2600 - £69.99

3. https://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-RE505X-Extender-Broadband-External/dp/B084WC8JTP
TP-Link RE505X AX1500 - £59.99

4. Any other suggestions?

Thanks ...

Thanks, Would it have a LAN port to put a cable from the router on to this access point?

I checked my upstairs corridor and there is no option in the ceiling to mount the access point facing downwards. But I can place it on the wall facing side wards. Would this be ok? Or shall I go for one of the traditional TP Link access points which I mentioned in my first post. Thanks...

I have to drill a hole from my attic for me to do a ceiling mount. So a MIMO wall mount access point is my best choice.
