“The router would be placed on the main floor of a 1,700 square foot house. But it will need to communicate with a second computer that is in the basement, about 30 feet away with a floor and wall between. Is that a suitable use?”

Possibly. Do you have a current router? If so, what type & how well does it work? What does this particular router add that your old one lacks? Our solution to reach from main floor to basement was to add a Range Extender. Find an extender that supports both 2.4 & 5GHz, with the ability to use one of the bands as a "back haul" channel. Ours is an older Linksys, but works perfectly well with 2 running computers & a Roku in the basement - with a few odd minutes of smartphone connectivity tossed in for good measure. MUCH less expensive than a "mesh" system.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
