I am looking for a Wireless Router or AP to place either in my attic (2 story house) or somewhere else in the house. My goal is to provide coverage throughout both floors of the house and if possible a few hundred feet outside. I don’t a have a problem paying a little more for a better product and or an outside rated unit.

Thank you. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

What you need to look at when choosing a AP /Wireless Router it's the gaining in their antennas, the more their dbi gain the longer the distance they can successfully cover (also make sure their antennas are omnidirectional).

For a 2 story house I'd say 2x 4dbi antennas would suffice, but since you want it to reach outside you could go ahead with 2 or 3x 7dbi antennas.

Do you know of a particular unit that has the 2 or 3x 7dbi antennas?

This is one I saw but I do not know if all of my devices support 5Ghz?

Thanks again and sorry for all the questions!
