Archer AX72 wifi range
Hi, I've been looking for a new router and stumbled across this one. I was wondering what is the range the wifi can get to without an extender and couldn't find any info about it. If anyone knows it would be much appreciated.

Hi,
I have 3x ax72's. 1 x main and 2x AP.
Generally speaking I would think you shouldn't have any issues with distance depending on your properties structure as mine give off a pretty strong/long distance signal.
Im UK based and live in a fairly dence area when wifi signals are concerned.
My house is brick built with some ridiculously thick walls internally plus its 3 story.
I bought 1 AX72 originally as isp issued unit wasn't upto the job and instantly my whole house and down to the bottom of my garden instantly had wifi signal where the isp unit just was nowhere near upto the job.
Obv as I stated above my furthest areas of my property was taking a big hit due to the thickness of the walls and my top floor room although was getting wifi signal it would drop down to 1 bar and I would hear the dreaded dad the wifi is playing up so I added a second and that cleared my wifi issue on the top floor.
I soon got itchy feet and added a 3rd and installed it down in my mancave/outbuilding
( its insulated so wifi took a hit but still got 2 bars) down bottom of my garden so when I'm in my mancave I have full signal/speed.
Needless to say I have full signal and speed inside my property and everywhere within reasonable distance outside my property even with the wifi transmission power turned down.
I can walk down my street about 50-60 meters and I can still be connected to my wifi on 5ghz.
Obviously over that distance the signal strength and speeds have took a massive hit not only going through brick walls but taking into consideration also that there must be atleast 15 other wifi signals interfering between my house and where I was standing before I moved out of sight of mine onto the next street I thought was pretty impressive.
I would reccomend the AX72 if you need a router for signal strength

"Connect More Devices – Supports MU-MIMO and OFDMA to reduce congestion and quadruple the average throughput,
Extensive Coverage – 6× antennas and Beamforming ensure broad coverage."
AX72 supports Easymesh and if you need more coverage you could add anoter Easymesh capable router to extend that.

@terziyski Yes, I also read that. I meant what was the range in meters that the router can cover

@Basboi85 Thank you for the detailed answer, it is very helpful. Considering I have about 150m flat would you recommend starting with 1 or 2?

No problems on the reply,
I really couldn't say how many you would need tbh as everyone's properties and surrounding location factors play a big role in how well a router preforms.
I'm taking your measurements as 150sqm?
( I've edited post as thought you said 150m long 🤦🏼♂️)
My houses internal measurements work out to roughly 190sqm over 3 floors and my 2 routers inside my house cover my whole house fully and easily with full signal no dead spots with the transmission power turned down to medium, I could even go to low and I'd like to say I'd still have no issues with ease.
If I add the 3rd router to the equation down bottom of my garden I've easily added another 200sqm coverage for my mancave and bottom half of my garden and that is aswell set to medium and I can still pick that wifi AP signal half way into my house using wifi signal apps.
I would like to say that 2 ax72 would be more than upto the task even with the transmission power turned down to low for your sqm measurements.
Theoretically one router should do the job on full transmission power if positioned in the best possible spot to give even coverage as possible.
The the trick for you if you was to buy a second would be to have a second placed in a location where the 2nd routers left signal crosses over slightly into the 1st routers right hand signal area so as your roaming device/phone then would see the second routers signal and then want to switch to the newer stronger signal.
In theory this is supposed to work/happen but there is always other factors to take into account like internal building materials, external wifi signals and of course the devices themselves.
Prime example of this is my boys have Nintendo switches and when we arrive home their switches connect to my top floor router as that one sends signal down my street leading upto my house,
Once we get indoors and in my living room their switches refuse to then change over onto my ground floor router which depending where they are sitting could be between 2-10 meters from it but the switches will hang onto the top floor router wifi and either bounce between 1 bar of signal or have next to none but refuse to change over unless they restart their switches ( even if they turn the devices wifi off then on they have to restart the switches for them to attach to my ground floor main router 🤷🏼♂️ )
As stated in other post you could get one and see how that works out for you and then add a second if needed.
If you do end up buying 2 ax72 routers As much as it would be a pain I would always advise connecting them by ethernet as you will have the most best connection and you'll be able to get the most speeds you get from your isp,
Yes you can do wireless mesh (i dont have easy mesh set up in my network) but the way I understand it doing it wirelessly as I'm not the sharpest knife in the knife draw, is your extender router/node can only send out as good of a speed from the signal it gets wirelessly from the main unit.
I.E your main router gets say 100up/100down,
By the time your main router has sent the wifi signal to your second router/node your secondary may only be getting 20up/20down and then as your wifi signal decreases on your secondary although it may say on your device you have 3 out of 4 bars wifi signal on the secondary routers node/router you could possibly only be getting speeds of say 10up/10down .
I can fully understand that it can be a pain in the rear end and not everyone can or has the physical capabilities to run ethernet but imo it is the best way to guarantee you the best possible results for reliability in connectivity.
Hope this helps you in making any choices,
Plus maybe more knowledgeable admin and other members can pitch in and help answer any other questions I cant answer 👍🏻
