It appears to send a stronger signal because I have not noticed buffering. The signal appears to have the same range because a Roku stick TV images are no clearer than the previous routers images. My previous router worked very well but was old so I updated. I am not sure things changed that much.
This is a great router. Supports all our devices and I love be able to set parental controls through it. Glad I finally changed my old router out. It was way past time.
Apple xtreme router was horrible. Always knew netgear to be honest and reliable and now we're blessed with the extreme speeds it promises. Absolute buy!
My home is three levels and 4000 square feet. My computer is direct, but the kids get the WiFi--and their speed in their rooms is almost equal to mine. Nice.
