WiFi range on Netgear Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR500

I did look at the WiFi extended device but I though this Netgear XR500 is good enough for a standard house WiFi range. hmmmm..
What size is the home and what are the interior walls made of?

Another key is placement.
The routers antennas broadcast omnidirectional and if you're router is located to one side of the home, half your coverage isn't getting used as its not directional. Any chance you can centrally locate it?
