My house is 7,000 square feet, 14 TVs, my son is a gamer, and I have a theater room under my garage that have bad reception for Wi-Fi . Would this router do the job, the modem is on the second floor of the house.

Really depends on how your house is set up and what is between it as well as what other WIFI's are around using same channel's. Mostly if you stick to channels 1, 6, 11, or 14 you will have the best luck or many routers will auto decide for you. Also if you run the 2.4 (longer throw but slower) vs 5g band (shorter but faster). If you can run a network cable from modem to TV room you can plug this router into that cable and have all your tv stuff plugged into a hardline connection from this router. that may also make it closer to the kid's room. or you can also get wifi repeaters that would also improve your signal.

Read and write to two 2.5" or 3.5" SATA hard drives or solid state drives at once with this Thermaltake BlacX ST0014U-C docking station, which offers a hot-swappable design to ensure rapid file transfers via the USB interface.
 

Will this dock work with a Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB drive? the drive is from a Dell desktop so it has data on it & the drive is not damaged.

will work with any Sata drives... so long as HD from your computer is < 10 years old it should be SATA not IDE and will be fine.
