Coverage: AX86U vs AX88U vs AX89U

[Logi]

Will the additional external antennas on the 88 and 89 will help to have an important additional coverage in the 2.4G band?

No

This is like the third or fourth post on the same topic re: Ring camera.

Just for clarity, all my Ring devices (cameras, alarm, lights) connect flawlessly to the RT-AX86U, it is that just 3 of them, out of 25 Ring devices, for a total of 42 devices at home, are on the edge and with very low RSSI. I am trying to avoid having to add an AiMesh device, therefore trying to optimize the new one I have (RT-AX86U), or replace it with something with a little bit of more coverage, for those 3 edge devices.

Without knowing the topology - or actual layout - of your house, it's impossible to guess RSSI issues.
I have a 3600 sq ft house, and - for reasons unknown to everyone - our formal dining room is a dead zone.
And my garage door opener has awful signal, even though it's 10 feet from the router - any router.
There are a gazillion reasons for WiFi interference - ESPECIALLY on the 2.4Ghz band - so... get a damn extender dude.
(also why in God's name do you have 25 cameras?)
