There are ways to extend your wireless overage for like 20km if you want - works great if you live near the beach, work from home, and want to work from home from the beach lol.

>Hi,
>
>Currently I have the following router:
>Linksys EA6900 wireless router. The problem with this router is that it does not well reach upstairs (the router is on the 1st floor). So, the computers/iPad on the second floor do not get a good receptions.
>The online description of this router, EA 6900 AC 1900, does not show the area coverage.
>
>I consider replacing this router with the Netgear Nighthawk C 7000 AC 1900. This one shows the coverage to be 1800 sq ft and 30 devices.
>
>Two questions:
>1. Do you have an experience with the Nighthawk R7000?
>2. Misleading is the AC 1900 which is present in both routers. Is this an indication of the speed or the coverage?
>
>The speed is not that important since all of the devices use wireless connection and the speed they spec is the hardware connection.
>
>I would appreciate any input on this.
>
>UPDATE. I see the following:
>AC1900 speed (Dual band up to 600 + 1300 Mbps)
>so, it means that AC 1900 is the speed; not coverage. Therefore, probably not that important for the router reaching the 2nd floor.
