Mostly a router goes horizonal, but does work fine in multi story homes. My router, not a BE900 is in a loft area and covers my 1800 sq ft home, my detached Three car garage, and down to my dock. So it should be fine. If you are worried, buy from a place that alows returns.

Thanks. My current router is a Linksys MX5300. Linksys says it covers 3000 sq ft. I'm not to sure about that but it covers what I need. Would it be better with 2 stories to get a Deco BE85 or BE95 instead of an Archer? I want to put my network rack on the second floor so I would want the Archer or the main Deco upstairs.

I have not used a MESH system so I am the wrong person to ask. I prefer a single router since it fits my needs. The specs are impressive for those MESH units. I would look at the reviews from dongknows, wired, plus others.
