The device you're looking for handles both routing and providing Wi-Fi. A router manages network traffic while an access point delivers wireless connectivity. Do you require a single solution that combines these functions, or would a dedicated Wi-Fi access point suffice?

You require a router. The modem is located in your garage.

The modem could function as both a router and a modem, so adding another router isn't essential. An external access point would work well in that scenario. If your modem lacks routing features, you'll need a router with Wi-Fi. The 2000+ range should be open air—walls, concrete, or other obstacles won't significantly affect performance. Consider using multiple connection points for better coverage.

Without a modem, how does your ISP give you internet? Is this a follow-up to your earlier discussion? You didn’t ask about the wireless survey.

Looking for a good router recommendation? That’s the main point.

The modem and router are distinct devices, and most contemporary homes use materials like wood, metal, or plastic for construction.

The choice of building materials for modern houses varies greatly depending on location, budget, and design. That doesn’t really give much insight. I’m not trying to be strict—I work with many types of homes and materials. These materials definitely count.
