I don’t stream, but need a long range router so it will cover the entire house which has multiples of computers, tablets, printers, Alexa products. Any suggestions from you techies out there?

I have used a
powerline adapter. The benefit is that it functionally turns your home electrical system into cat 5e ethernet cable. You plug the powerline adapter into your router or modem via an ethernet cable and then it plugs into a wall electrical outlet. Then you can plug in the extender into any other outlet in your home. The powerline extender I had gave you one ethernet connection and also acted as a wifi extender. We had really great connection for TV streaming via the ethernet cable and using the extender's wifi to run four ip cameras, a connected garage door opener and the Ring doorbell. I also occasionally ran several IoT electronic projects on that extender.
Google it. Keyword
