Does access point range affect how good it passes through concrete

[lavaslime44]

Hi I want to buy a new access point and there is 2 models I can choose from one has 400ft range and the other has 600ft range. I itened to use 1 on the top floor to reach down to the 3rd floor through concrete and brick walls. Which 1 should I go for.

Either, i would go with multiple access point on each level for the best performance. You could grab Ubiquiti Lite Access Point for around 100 dollars each and place them on each level or just get two for other two level where you original router is at. 

 

Plus you need to give use model number, as marketing information in 99% of times is in Best conditions (no walls, no interference) .

Thats the exact 1 I was looking at and long range model. The only problem is I cant run cables to lower floor as it is next to impossible.

Pretty sure you could just give it power and use it as wireless repeater for your lower levels. Personally i would get cheaper version if you going to get multiple access point but you could get AC LR version for the middle floor and Lite on lower and highest level. Than you could set disconnect range for AC LR to something short so you will connect to other access point when you're on other levels.
