Is Archer C7 v4 a good choice?

I need a router that can extend to a 2 floors unit.
Got any other recommendations for RM 350?

No consumer router can truly cover double storey homes. I bought a cheap router to cover my first floor, connected via powerline adapters to the main router downstairs. Luckily found out my built-in phone lines can be converted to ethernet ports, so I will do that when Unifi turbo upgrade comes.

Do u have a router eg stock one given by TM? If yes, you can bring the stock router upstair and add a decent router + powerline adapters. Tenda AC9 + TP-Link PA4010 kit will fit your budget.

Do you have built-in TV antenna points?

Thank you both for the feedback.

I found Powerline adapters not to be as reliable as I hope.
To give a little of background this isn't a huge house and uh, it isn't my house and they are using the stock router given by Maxis - Technicolor. We all know how "capable" it is.
I guess I should bring the extra router I have laying around which is the Archer C4 given by TM to test the coverage.

By the way, is Tenda really good compared to TP-Link? Not in terms of price, but reliability and speed.
