I am confused as to why it is measured in square footage. I imagine the coverage for a 2,000sqft house that is 1 floor would be much different than a 2,000sqft house with 2 floors. I was hoping that since the square footage would be “stacked” it would function similar to a 1,000sqft building. I know this isn’t exactly how it works but it demonstrates my confusion regarding how far the router can actually reach. A router in a single story building 2,000 square feet would need to reach ~22 feet in each direction where as a two story building would require ~15feet in every direction but also up to the next floor

Thankyou for this input! I read that Puma 6 was problematic but completely forgot to check for it. I will probably be downgrading to something more practical for the internet speed

House: - 2 floors - 1900sqft - 4 residents Main use: - Streaming - Light Gaming sorry, just edited original post to include the above. Maybe 2 walls to furthest room from router. I noticed this was overkill but it was the lowest tier that I saw could reach anywhere near 1900sqft.

FP Bug ("New" video): I am a LTT subscriber on FP and noticed that all videos have the blue "New" tag. This includes videos that I have already watched and ones that are really old. Am I the only one experiencing this? and if not, is this a bug or just a partially implemented feature? I'm new to the Forum, couldn't find where this had been mentioned before and I wasn't sure where to post about it.
