Nighthawk R7000P

If you're saying 1200 square feet on each floor for a total of 2400, my recommendation is basically any router with long external antennas. Mount the router in the center of your home. A lot of people will say mesh, which isn't a bad idea, but you didn't ask for mesh recommendations. My recommendation comes from my experience with Netgear and tp-link routers. I have two Netgear routers, one with long antennas and one with shorter antennas. The tp-link router has long antennas. The shorter antenna Netgear router has significantly worse signal strength and reliability than the other two routers. For comparison, the short antenna model is rax10, the long antenna model is r7000p and that thing has unbelievable range. I have it in the basement up against the brick and cinder block foundation wall near my walk out door, and I get wifi coverage 1200 feet down the street.

stay away from netgear they are good, but once they no longer support the router they throttle your internet speed so you can buy a new one. only way to fix it is buy reverting to an older update making you vulnerable to getting hacked. plus the spectrum routers are netgear routers, so you'll be in the same boat where it will goes down every day. I had a netgear nighthawk gigabit router and it would go down every day and then when it was no longer being supported with the last update it was throttle to 200 mbs. try out an asus router, I've got one of their cheap $60 routers two years ago and I have not had any issues with it. if it goes down it's on the spectrum side.

Not an expert but sharing my very recent experience. I had an old nighthawk Netgear router from 2018 that started to act up, so I got a newer WiFi 7 router from Netgear (RS90) and it was even worse than the old one. After hours on the phone with tech support they couldn’t do much, so I returned it and went with a TP-Link WiFi 6 mesh (Deco X55 AX3000) and it has been working great.

I use eeros for my mesh wifi and it works great with my OPNSense setup. I just dropped it into bridge mode. I physically segregate my LAN / Home WIFinetwork from my Guest and IoT via a 4 port nic and Firewall rules. My IoT stuff runns off a Nighthawk and the Guest also runs off another Nighthawk. BOth running OpenWRT firmware since stock is garbage and insecure.

I dont know about this model but fuck Netgeat Nighthawk. I owned a different one few years ago that was supposed to be a a high spec version, and it caused me infinite problems, which all disappeared when I bought a different one.

I agree. I have tried numerous Netgear products, going back to a PCMCIA card, and all of them have had problems. The last Nighthawk I had constantly resulted in "Connected, No internet" for too many devices.

I moved from a Netgear Nighthawk router and extender to an Orbi network... Well worth it to me.

They were all WiFi 6. I used a Nokia linksys Atlas, a TPLink one and a Netgear Nighthawk. Except for the Nokia (wifi5), none of them even came close to the signal penetration I got from the GLinet flint 2. 

Yeah their speeds are terrible man! I swapped out to a nighthawk router for $300 at Best Buy has been worth it

they are awesome on a deal, and netgear nighthawk are fantastic... not that thing you linked...
