I have the R8000 and CM1200 router. I have installed them and yet I still am not getting the range I desire out of my setup. My house is three stories, 4,700 square and my router is in the master bedroom on the third floor.
I have 25 devices (smart TV, ring camera, phones, iPad, laptop and desktop) connected to the the system.
I want to know how I can extend my range to reach the basement area. Also would adding the mesh system work?
open to any ideas,
thanks in advance.

4700sqft is a lot of area to cover for a single device. I have a 3200 sqft home and a single router struggles. I run a mesh with satellites to cover everything.
I'd recommend moving to a mesh system like orbi for coverage in that much area.
You can add an extender but I've always recommended going with a full mesh system if someone needs more than 1 extender and you probably would.
