No thats about the range for 5Ghz AC on the R7000 and my Iphone. The 7000 doesn't support 1733Mhz like the R7000 does so can't get much more out of it. Wired speeds are good though. I ran it as the only AP in the house with out any extenders as I wanted to kind stress test it over the week. Did fine with 30 devices.
