Any recommendations on a replacement router for a 2 story 2600 foot house with a basement and outside cameras? Comcast with 3 TV`s and landline phone. Thanks

I have a 3,600 sq. ft. house, two story with basement and this Netgear WNDR4500 [amazon.com] does the job just fine.

A mesh system will give you the best coverage overall.

Here is a good explanation

I have a Galaxy S23 phone it can see and use the 6E band that my router has my Wife's Iphone can see the Wifi 6 band but not the 6E that gives me the whole band for my phone.
Triband also allows the MESH between routers to use a dedicated band rather than having to share one.
Right now I have 3 Routers in my house ( I am a BETA tester) and the one that is always picked up first and has the best signal is the MESH one. The others work and are fine but for signal around the house the Mesh one wins hands down.

It's also an Ethernet switch allowing you to hard connect several devices (computers, laptops, etc. to it.)
It's ALSO a wireless access point letting your phones and tablets connect to it.
Now add on the MESH aspect of things.
The MESH is additional WiFi spots for your mobile devices.
Think of your front lawn...you "could" water your whole yard with 1 sprinkler...the grass nearest it would get the most water and the edges of the lawn...probably not enough.
So you add extra sprinklers and get great coverage over the whole lawn.
Like adding more sprinklers, you would place 2 or 3 mesh access points throughout your house and it automagically keeps your devices connected as you walk around...similar to the Cell system for ATT and Verizon as you drive around town.
A new Mesh capable router with a couple of Mesh access points would serve you well.
