WiFi Range Comparison R3 & XR500

[CrAzY_V3t3rAn]

I would like to know the difference between WiFi range and strength in the XR500 vs the new R3. I think my XR500 is ''expiring'' because no matter how many resets or installing flashing the latest stable firmware, the WiFi just stop working out of the blue and I have to reboot/restart, turn off then on the router for it to work as it should. The router is 5 years old which I'm told that the lifespan they get of use. I'm thinking into getting a new R3 but there're SEVERAL wireless devices that are important in the house and uses WiFi. Ex: Security cameras (3), Thermostat, etc. Thanks in advance staff.

The WiFi stops working in what sense? I'd say they're probably comparable but let me know your issue and we can probably resolve it.

--Me and my wife are watching Netflix and all of the sudden WiFi signal is gone. 

--Out of nowhere the camera's program shows a notification with a No Signal

--Cell phone out of nowhere the WiFi logo switch to 5G

Ok, I'll do best to remembered it. So when it comes to WiFi range and strength in quality they're both about the same?? Can you give me like a % of difference?? Thanks

It's very hard to do that because everyone's setup/home environment will be different, there may be more obstacles which might limit the range. I'd say the hardware on the R3 for WiFi is better than the XR500 and more akin to the XR1000.

I live on a 2 story duplex house. And thanks, that info. at least helps make my decision a little easier. 🤓

I live on a full ground floor, between the router and the furthest point there are 3 fairly thick walls in the way and I still get full bars of signal just to give you an idea.
