R7200 (61X197BRA242B)

We purchased an R7200 Nighthawk WiFi Router.  It comes with zero support and has been 100% useless in improving our Spectrum Internet service.

 

We have a ranch home that is under 3,000 square feet.  All devices are relatively close to our Nighthawk and anything in another room has a terrible connection even though nothing is more than 20 steps away from the Nighthawk.

 

What boosters or other solutions do you recommend?

 

Thank you.

    What devices are you using? 

    what actual speeds are you getting over wired, 2.4ghz wireless, and 5ghz wireless?

    What modem/gateway do you have it connected to?
