Unfortunately, I'm having the same problem. The Linksis AC2200 set ups easily and can handle multiple devices, but the range isn't cutting it. I added a Velop node and it helped a little. I previously used the Netgear Nighthawk R8000 which had better range and speed but it started dropping the internet connection and Netgear has been unable to resolve the problem. If you are paying for 400 up and download your main router must be able to handle at least that much. In a 4,000 sq. ft home you will need a mesh system (don't believe the manufactures. there will be dead spots). The Linksys isn't bad but definitely get a better one than AC2200. As a side note, if you are looking to upgrade you might want to consider a wifi 6 router to future-proof your purchase. Good Luck!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The WiFI speeds in a house are only as good as the broadband internet speeds provided by your internet service provider to that home. For example if you only have 100 Mbps broadband from your internet service provider then installing a WiFi router capable of speeds up to 1Gbps is useless as it will be limited to the broadband speed of 100Mbps. So when considering the device in a home that will be connecting to a WiFi router you must also consider the broadband speeds. Broadband speeds of 1Gbps are adequate for most applications.
