I have the Asus RT-AC5300 which is working well for us in most places, even though it is all the way in the front room of the house. I had Comcast come out to see about moving the modem to a more central location but they said the signal wasn’t strong enough so they were not able to, and since the house has vaulted ceilings they could not get to where they would need to through the attic to increase the signal, (that is how it was explained to me).
We have a seating area in our bedroom which is all the way on the other side of the house with a couch next to a sliding glass door. We sit there quite a bit, and when sitting on the couch we only get about 12 to 15 Mbps down, just a few steps away from the couch we get around 100 Mbps (we have 105 Mbps service and get around 115 to 126 Mbps in most of the house.
Since we cannot move the sofa I was wondering if getting one of the new mesh Wi-Fi systems (Amplifi, Eero or Luma) and putting one of the modules in or close to the bedroom would help the signal from the couch. Do you think it might help or would the glass door be a problem no matter what?
