Can I refer to "peak output power" in FCC test reports to compare ranges?

Maybe a teardown would answer it. Also look at this. By the way, considering it has a single antenna is it still faster than a 150Mbps adapter?

As far as I know Wi-Fi 802.11n uses MIMO to reach 300Mbps. But I've seen Wi-Fi adapters with a single external antenna. (such as this one or this) Am I wrong?

Does range has anything to do with chipset? I could find this: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Original-Xiaomi-Mi-Wireless-Router-Mini-dual-band-2-4GHz-5GHz-Maximum-1167mbps-support-Wifi-802/32274425504.html Which uses the same chipset as archer c2 but is cheaper and provides higher speed.

In routers specifications at TP-link website there is a section named Reception Sensitivity. Does lower dbm means more sensitivity and thus more range? Also TP-link claims 450Mbps routers provide wider coverage, is it right? I really like Archer C2 but I'm not sure about its range.

Thank you for you answers. I think wiring and powerline would be overkill, I don't need highest speed at borders. Do routers with external antennas provide better range? How are those cylindrical shape D-Link routers? And I heard AC routers provide a better range only for ac capable devices. Is...

I'm going to upgrade my Wireless network mainly for a better coverage (more than 23 meters (75 ft) including walls - for a 2 story 400 m2 building). I'm not sure about dual band because there are free 2.4Ghz channels in neighborhood, But can a single client utilize both bands of a dual band...

I have a TP-Link TD-W8901G Modem. It's Wireless range is really short, I can't access it even in nearby rooms. Even in the same room I don't have full signal strength. My uncle brought his modem (Planet) to me to configure it for him. I tried its wireless, its coverage was far better than my...
