I increased my internet speed to full 1g coverage at home. I’m considering improving the Wi-Fi throughout the house. My home was built in the 1970s and is about 3500 sq ft, including the basement. I often get less than 100mbps in the basement and other areas. I’m using a Netgear R6700v3 and am wondering if there are better choices under $200.

You might prefer a repeater for improved coverage rather than higher speeds. If you're open to a basic AP, it often performs better for Wi-Fi connections. Options like this fit within your budget and deliver solid results. Be aware that top performance usually requires more advanced management tools, not just a simple web interface.

Mesh network. Other providers offer superior reach.

A mesh network performs more effectively compared to a single router?

For wide-area coverage, signals can be absorbed by walls. Using many APs around the home is a better approach than relying on one.

If you can't connect every mesh point, consider alternative methods.

You're describing a setup where you're using Wi-Fi in areas that are clearly obstructed, like around pipes or electrical components. Your path involves going through open spaces and bypassing blockages to maintain connectivity.

No, mesh points do not need to be hard wired.
