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...
Not sure why you're against mesh systems. I'm not a huge fan of extenders
Well, MESH is just a glorified extender, courtesy of the marketing folks! I have a n R7000 router connected by ethernet cable to an R7000 Access point at my other house and it works great. Tried the latest Google Fiber Mesh setup there a couple of months ago and it was significantly worse.

Not just marketing. Mesh systems do have protocols that allow them to hand off connections between node elements more efficiently than a simple router/extender. But if your two routers are in different buildings then those won't come into play.
