Good afternoon. I am choosing a router for a private house, tell me which model to look at. The conditions of the problem are as follows - a wooden house, 2 floors, the Internet only using a 4G usb modem.
The maximum possible range of the network and work with a 4G modem is required. Now there is an Asus RT-N56U B1 router, which suits almost everyone except one, but very important drawback - the coverage radius is very weak. It was almost ripe to buy a repeater, but then it became necessary to distribute the Internet in the country, so I decided to take this Asus there, and buy something new and more "long-range" into the house.
Thanks.

Good afternoon. The fact is that on almost all routers the range is approximately the same. And it is simply impossible to suggest a model that will provide a larger coverage radius than Asus RT-N56U B1. If someone tells you that a particular router will definitely cover your home with a Wi-Fi signal, they are lying. It’s impossible to predict. Yes, there are some sort of "long-range" routers (due to powerful antennas), but in practice they usually show the same results. Much depends on the room in which the router is installed.
And in your case, the selection criteria are limited to support for 4G USB modems. I would advise you to watch something from ASUS, with external antennas. They are internal in RT-N56U. Why ASUS? And to be sure it will work with your 4G modem. And do not select the router for the modem again (it is not so easy). For example: Asus RT-AC58U, Asus RT-AC66U, Asus RT-AC1200G +, Asus RT-N18U.
But again, I cannot guarantee the best coverage after replacing the router. And no one can.
See if you can install your router so that it covers most of your home. You can read the article where to install a Wi-Fi router in an apartment or house.
Well, or buy a repeater. This is not the worst decision.
