Differing Performance Level Between R6250 and R6300

Hi

 

Would a model R6300 give me any better range of signal, compared to a R6250?

 

I currently have a R6250 installed.  I have several cinder block walls that really diminish my signal radius within my building.

 

Would the R6300 perform any better in this aspect?

The only difference I see is a speed rating difference, which is not of concern to me.

 

FWIW I've tried a N300 range extender with my R6250.  The performance of the N300 is inconsistent.  


 

Thanks

    There are also physical limitations to how much a signal can be extended, at we're close or at them right now. You'll notice no difference between these two models

    A r7000 would be your best option in my opinion. The 6300 is old stuff the r7000 has Much better coverage.

     

    Extenders are a joke in my opinion.
