The two routers I'm looking at (Linksys AX1800 & Netgear AX3000) both advertise a 1500 sq ft range. My home is 1600 sq ft, rectangularish, although I've never had problems getting a signal around the house with earlier routers--in fact, I never even thought about any range for them. Given that these routers are more expensive than the ones I've bought before, with a stronger/newer wireless technology, I'm wondering about the range--does the published range assume that the router could be on one end of the house, and so 1600 ft2 is really an expected range from one side only of the router? In other words, as long as the router is in the middle of the house (mine is and will be), how hard is that 1500 ft2 range?
I live on a single story, if that matters.
