I just measured out how far my WiFi extender will go on my old Samsung tab 3 on 5ghz,that's not on any sort of plan,pure WiFi and I can go 38 yard form my house and still do google search..And on my nexus 5 cell phone I can go almost 50yards on WiFi..Now that's some good WiFi,later I will try on the wife's laptop and my sons nexus 9,I think my old Samsung has better WiFi then my sons nexus 9 and paid $500 for his nexus and the wife bought my Samsung for $159 on black Friday a year ago..

That is an impressive range. But, while you are at it, you should measure the bandwidth by downloading something or do a speed test at one of the speed test sites and see what kind of download speeds you get. From what I have seen from DD-WRT sites is that with 5GHz band you get better downloads but 2.4GHz you get better coverage--greater distance.
