Got the Netgear Nighthawk to replace my old Linksys WRT310N. My 2200 sq ft house has a large brick chimney in the center, which caused me to lose 1/2 my signal strength for a large portion of the house. Thought about a mesh network, but decided to try the Netgear router first. My signal at the new router is now 3X what it was, and my signal at the far end of the house is about 2X stronger than it was. I won't need a mesh network.
This Wi-Fi router provides full signal strength where we put our live streaming camera in the sanctuary and social hall. Extremely satisfied with the range of this home router being used in a commercial environment.
