3500 sq ft home coverage with the new RS700
I am planning on purchasing the best wireless routing equipment I can find to us with my Charter Spectrum service, since I have had serious issues with the wireless router I rent from them. My home ...
Forgot to mention that it's a 2 story home running on an internet connection of 500m speed. Thinking about increasing to 1g.
I would first try a Orbi 7 or 8 series. I have 1Gb here. Both work great.

With 3200sq ft, I'd probably go with a mesh system.
I have around that area and while a single flagship router can cover it, at the peripheral, the speeds drop quite a bit.
You might not have the same peak speed out of a mesh solution (other than the RBKE963 series), you get a lot better coverage.
And most devices don't need peak speed. That's for if you're moving massive data sets/backups/etc. Even streaming 4k only takes 25-40mbps. So if you have great coverage throughout, its better than spotty in areas.
Hmm Agreed.
