You need to have a range (Ranged) before you can increase it (Increase Range). So, both. Area Effect increases the area you can affect. You'd need it, for example, to shut down a whole group at range. Without AE, you'd affect one target, no matter how many are in your LOS. Increased Range increases the distance from your location at which you can put your area of Static. If you want to simultaneously affect everyone in your field of vision (180 degrees, from you out for a few miles), you'd need a huge AE.
