no need to spend 2-2.5k on router unless you are looking for very specific features in which case 2-2.5k is not enough anyway.

in this price range tp-link & asus are best value for money.linksys may be as good but it will definitely be a few hundred rupees costlier too.

wifi range depends on many factors like interference from other wifi/electrical devices in surrounding,type of construction material,design of house/structure etc.only way to know for sure is to actually try it at your place first.

There must be something wrong with the unit or software settings. I am also using the same router and it provides decent coverage even 3 rooms across.

compare wifi setting of netgear & tp-link for values like channel no.,freq mode etc.if tp-link settings are different then set them to same as netgear & then see what happens.also try tp-link range with some different device(phone or laptop).
