“How many square feet does this modem cover? Netgear's ads say a "large" house, but I have no idea what this means.”

It should actually say VERY large house since this is one of the larger more powerful devices on the market as of now. I would say easily handle 3,000+ without issue. Some quick study of wi-fi signal range capabilities on google will point out some wavelengths are far faster than others but unfortunately they have a harder time with obstructions than the slower bandwidth capabilities of older slower rated versions. A perfect example of this is that 5G can sometimes be considerably slower than 2.4G for distant locations with more obstructions.The biggest thing to understand is the varying wavelengths and wi-fi spectrum's ability to mitigate the structures walls, doors, wall ducts, plumbing, wiring and other physical signal obstructions. Every house is obviously different in layout and the router location and mounting position alone can have a very large impact on dead or weakened zones. Centralized higher mount locations are usually almost always best to equalize signal strength throughout the entire structure. This particular unit is on sale right now and IMO, is much more appealing because of the current -$100 off pricing. And although there are other routers that can best it's peak speeds on occasion, and especially in certain less congested environments, it's ability to handle busy "smart device" and heavy streaming households are far above previous gen routers because of the newest OFDMA features. Whenever you purchase and whatever you spend though, early adopters always pay a premium to be ahead of the curve. Hope that helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.1800 square feet
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We have it set up in a large public meeting place that seats 200 people. Approximate square footage of the building is about 4000 square feet (on a single level). We have excellent coverage throughout; the 5G is a little weaker at the furthest corner of the building from the router but overall the coverage and performance is excellent.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It all depends on how many levels your household has and where the router is placed. If you have an average sized house, say around 2000 to 3000 feet it will work fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.My house is 1800 sqft and the Wi-Fi coverage is good.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I’m in 1800 square feet and there aren’t any dead zones. Works perfectly!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.How many square feet will a netgear19 router/motem support..
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.BB guy at the store told me 5000 sq ft no problem. I have a 3500 sq ft home and it is the best router I've ever had.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I HAVE 2400 SQFT. IT Covers that. I can pick up 2400 signal outside about 20 feet away.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This unit is not a cable modem but is specifically considered to be a router. But to answer the question specifically.. easily 3,000+ sq/ft depending on layout and the devices actual location within the home. Centralized and unobstructed higher mount locations increase range and broaden the "sweet spot" to maximize data transfer speeds. The OFDMA feature alone reduces data throughput congestion and reduces delay when multiple devices are consuming much of the available internet speed. The 2.2mhz quad core processor with larger than average cache sure seems to help performance as well.
