Orbi RBK853 US & UK coverage explanation

On the NETGEAR US website and NETGEAR UK Datasheet, they had mentioned it's cover 7,500 sq ft. But on the NETGEAR UK and the AMAZON UK product details they had mentioned it's cover just 6000 ft sq. Any explanation why there’s a difference in coverage even they had the same spec in both countries.

  • I just checked and the U.S. Netgear and Amazon site both say 7500 sq. ft.  Both the U.K. sites state 6000 sq. ft.

     

    This could be due to several factors including truth in advertising laws, radio emissions limitations in the U.K. (they may limit overall power output), channel availability, and they may also be taking into consideration the typical building materials used in the U.K. vs. what is used in the U.S. or it could be a combination of all of these factors.
