Q: Will this router cover a 3300 sq. ft. home and back yard?
A: Hi! WiFi coverage will depend on numerous variables including, but not limited to: - Placement of the router (central location is typically ideal) - Physical obstructions between the router and your devices (e.g. walls, etc.) - Construction materials (e.g. plaster, brick, drywall, etc.) - Distance between the router and your devices - Which WiFi band you are connecting to (2.4GHz vs. 5GHz)

Regarding your question about the TP-Link AX4400 Mesh Dual Band 6-Stream Router: It's very difficult to predict the coverage as it will depend on the placement and interference. As routers go, this one has excellent range and is compatible with a MESH extender if you find any areas it can't reach.

Q: Hi, how does this router behave in an environment where there are several routers working on the same bands, does it give me any advantage over my current router especially 2.4 Ghz band
A: Hi victor, thanks for reaching out about TP-Link AX4400 Mesh Dual Band 6-Stream Router. You can change the channel to a less congested channel in your area.
