It’s coverage is small, so add a few 5ghz repeaters if need be.
Why not just buy a router with wider coverage in the first place?

Why not just buy a router with wider coverage in the first place?

Just because it has wider unobstructed coverage doesn't mean it's going to penetrate three or four walls or a couple of floors.

5ghz with very wide coverage is not economical. Sure, go nuts, but there is no need. Get a cheapo 5ghz router and get supercheapo 5ghz repeaters that allow high-speed mode. I have a $60 router and $20 repeater covering a few thousand sq ft easily. Why buy a $300 router?
