If you want coverage then multiple WIFI sources connected to a common router with ethernet IS the best solution. If that is what you meant by "few cheaper ones and speed the signal around" then you will benefit. If you have dozens of wireless devices, then splitting them among multiple WIFI sources (again connected by ethernet cable) is the best answer. If you have some REALLY old or REALLY slow (wireless G or B) then segregating them to their own WIFI source can benefit the devices hooked to another.

IF you need high end router features then spending more for your core router (and WIFI source) can benefit you.

I'm not an expert on the topic...but you should probably figure out what kind of speeds your needing to push through (what do you pay for from your ISP?). The next best thing you can do is look for professional tests with a router you are interested in to see how the router performs at different distances, and through walls etc...

I'm currently looking for 2 different setups one is for my dad he uses 50mbps several wifi devices phones pads smart tv and what not. He is in a apartment right now will be getting a house as soon as his sells.

My set up is a studio/single bed 100mbps and would like to reach the laundry room. It's on the first and I'm on the 4th. and range extenders arnt a option... theft. if I can't reach the room then range doesn't matter. Devices on wifi is my iphone and that's all on the wifi unless someone comes over.

Btw I tried the nighthawk x10 just to see if it could reach and it can't. O buy the way I LAN line every thing through a switch.
