[QUOTE="rdst_1, post: 2325231, member: 25986"] There are 2 walls between laptop and TV, but since the router is in the middle and communication is going to happen through the router, so technically I've to worry about 1 wall only, in each case. If you check out the Smallnetbuilder review of these entry level AX routers, you will see that almost all of them have skimped on radios so they have even worse performance than the AC routers available at similar prices. I'd rather buy an expensive AC router or a mid-range AX router ( TP-Link AX73 was available for 10.8k recently) than buy any of these entry level ones. Only the Netgear RAX20 is worth buying but they have priced it much higher than their US price, especially when compared to TP-Link offerings. A 4m range on 5Ghz sounds impressive until you look at the price tag. The inherently low range of the 5Ghz network is the reason that Mesh networks (when implemented properly) are superior than a single expensive router when it comes to 5Ghz range, but they have their own set of issues which still need lot of ironing out, especially in the budget segment. You should be getting close to 900Mbps in wired setup easily. This is the one test that not many routers fail, unless it is a very long run of the wires. If I had a budget of 15k,I would buy the Netgear R7800 eyes closed, but I am trying to make do in 1/3rd of that right now. [/QUOTE]
