I'm looking for a solid signal for streaming up to 100ft from the router including the back yard. Any TB reccomendations?

Have a large house and the Linksys Veolp system changed our lives.

Recently put this in my inlaws house. It made a huge difference. I can't recommend it highly enough. However, it is about the most expensive router you are going to buy in the retail sector. But if better coverage and "set it up and forget about it" are worth the cost, it's a fantastic system.

Setup tip- set everything up in the same spot and then move the remote access points to the room you want them in. Setup is much easier that way.

I was willing to pay twice that if it worked. Our house is 4300/5700 and we always had wifi problems. I had 4 various apple routers hobbled together as extenders. House is coming up on 15 years and was wired with cat 5 when built, it's been hacked up over the years by Charter when they put in the phones. If the Velop didn't work I was going to have to get someone to come rewire. Now we can finally get full use of the media room over the garage because we can play video games, netflix etc. I can actually get wifi in the garage to control sonos and use my laptop for DIY projects on YouTube. It was running in about 20 minutes with 3 nodes. WORTH EVERY PENNY

Amplifi Long range Mesh network

My house is 2600 sq ft on the first floor with a Full bed and bath over the garage and this covers my whole house. Single SSID and awesome throughput. It is super easy to setup and install. I had mine up and running in less than 10 minutes after the unboxing.

Mesh is better than a single router. Google Wifi is excellent and very easy to setup.

Recently switched to this. I have just over 2800 Sqft over two stories. I got the three pack and I can now stream in HD in any room in my house, in my garage, and in my backyard.

It's everything I've been looking for.
