Netgear router range
Looking at getting a new router and am leaning towards a current Netgear model. I see you go up in the model series (in price and speed) and the range supposedly increases from ~2000 sq ft to ~3500s...
Ah, OK, so more antennas can direct the signal better. But in my home I'm really looking for a uniform distribution of signal, would beamforming produce a directional signal at all times or is it active (adaptive)?

Beamforming is active. When the router is sending to a client, the beam aims the signal towards that client. That increases range and speed.
