But per: https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/WNDR3400.aspx#tab-techspecs

Standards
IEEE® 802.11 b/g/n 2.4 GHz
IEEE 802.11 a/n 5.0 GHz
Five (5) 10/100 (1 WAN and 4 LAN) Fast Ethernet ports with auto-sensing technology
One (1) USB 2.0 port

802.11AC is not listed; total throughput is 600 not 1200 to 3000+ for some AC routers. If I'm going to spend a bit, I'd prefer some future-proofing.

I also don't have the coverage area you do. About everything on WiFi is about 12 linear feet from the router area. There may be some wood or drywall in there but distance of anything close to what you're mentioning.
