XR500 vs R7000
I currently own the R7000, been having issues lately with it disconnecting my internet and I have to restart it. Its about 3years old.
So leaning towards buying XR500.
Just trying to figure out i...
So would the XR450, have better wifi range than the R7000 i own now? With the R7000 once I go out my back porch I loose signal, which is on opposite side of house as to where the router is and approx 50-60ft away through a couple walls.
50-60 feet is quiet a ways for any router. The XR series would have better range then the R7000 does. However the additional EX7700 would do nicely as an extender to help with range for the XR450. I use my XR450 upstairs 2nd level on a 5000sq ft home. 40 feet on the opposite end downstairs is my EX7700. Great coverage thoughout the house and some outside.
