Wifi distance for my big house

Curious if the netduma has a good range for Wi-Fi? I have 2,500 sq foot house and my top floor is weak off my Telus router t3200 that’s in the basement. How good is this modem or is a nighthawk better for my situation?

The Nighthawk has far better WiFi range than the R1, many of us use a second router connected to the R1 and set in access point mode to extend the WiFi range of the R1 so that is also an option for you.

If my main modem is down stairs. Where would I put my netduma? Doesn’t have to be plugged into the combo modem?

Hi, welcome to the forum! It should be connected to the combo modem, then if you want more range you could use Powerline Adapters from the R1 (to go upstairs or anywhere else) and attach extenders. If you want to save running wires up stairs then powerline adapters are the way to go.
