Its one of the better single point AC routers (its a re-branded 86U). Also has 160mhz support for Pseudo wifi 6 performance (If you have clients that support it), but it limits the radio from 4x4 down to 2x2 and drops the range.

Only downside is relatively lower throughput compared to a R7800 which was one of the best 4x4 designs in terms of speed and range.

So how would this do for coverage of a 2100sq ft ranch style with about 20 devices simultaneously connected to wifi (some accessing the internet at the same time, some gaming)? Expertise and opinions greatly appreciated. If not this then a mesh system maybe? Thanks in advance.
