What is the range of the wi fi connection? I have read some review that say the frame needs to be close to the router is this true , how close ?

Hello,No this is not true. The range is similar to other devices with Wi-Fi (Smartphone, Laptops, etc...).You can have the frame in another room than the router, no problem, within a normal range for a Wi-Fi device.The Pix-Star Customer Support Team.

I've had it about 6-8 feet away and it seemed ok. I think it would work further away.

Actually I am not quite sure. Ours is about 6 meters from the router, around a corner and it works just fine.

I don't believe so. My father's frame is on one floor of his house and the router is on another.

Depends on the router. And your connection. The stronger the with fi the better. Most places in a med house will be fine. If the signal is week it will just take longer to send pics to the frame.

Ours is over 100 feet away from the router and works just fine. There is a short delay from sending photos via the internet but that's it.

I haven't tried networking mine to my home network. I did download their app on my I-Phone and watch live streaming video that way. However, the range of the internal WiFi isn't very far. I'm guessing it's around 25 feet? The unit is very cool. I drive an average of 1000 miles per week. I like the having the idiot drivers on video should something happen.

Try getting very close to your router, like less than 2 feet away, sounds silly but this worked for me it seems this tablet wont pick up wifi at any distance even if it shows signal.

The distance between my wifi and the router is more then 12 feet. Also there is a wall between rooms Ive had no problems with since purchase. I hop ed this is helpful to you in your decision.

I placed mine 2 floors below my wireless router in my finished basement, and it works fine--my signal strength there was 80%; the distance depends upon the strength of the signal coming from your router; you want to be sure, according to the instructions, that the signal strength at the range extender is at least 70% (it shows you this on the dashboard when you connect to the device). And once you have gone through setup and connected to the extended network, you can unplug the device and try it in different places without having to reconnect. The extender remembers your original settings. Really a freaking nice device, at least for me. Took less than 10 minutes to set up at a leisurely pace.

My wifi is located downstairs and the kids can be upstairs on the other side of the house with no problems. haven't tested exactly how far they can go, but hope this helps!

You really need to detail out what exactly the problems are your experiencing. I have no trouble with mine as long as the signal strength is low/medium to good. If you explain more I may be able to help. Are you not able to connect with your home router or are you having problems with other WiFi hotspots. Bob

no from my experience the range was better and longer than that of my netgear d6300 ac 1300 wifi modem router, the range in you situation will depend on the devices your using and the location of where you place the unit, but from my usage of the unit the range is extremely far I can watch you tube on my nexus 7 (2012) tablet in my back yard

The signal range is way over 30 feet. Mine is about 20 feet away and through two walls and my signal is fine. The only trouble is that, after two months, the adapter was suddenly unable to connect to my wireless network. This could very well be a user issue but, anyway, back to your question: Yes, it works awesome within 30 feet.

Not sure, the wifi was so bad that I gave up trying to make it work. I had it 5 feet from my router. :-(

I put the Netgear N300 Wi-Fi Range Extender away from router, but within range of the router signal. You may need to adjust the range to get the best signal out to the rest of the house. This device works great in my house.

Cannot answer precisely as I am in a small townhome with no distance from router exceeding about 20'ft.

Just by looking at network status in windows i'm getting 877Mb/s. I don't know how accurate windows is. The router is located about 10m away through 2 walls. I run 9 wireless devices from it, streaming movies to all these devices is not an issue which is why I purchased it. I also have the matching network card connected to my main server which gives me a 5Ghz pipeline.

I would advise you to return it. I went through the same thing. What I learned from an IT friend....I live in a townhouse complex, the wifi could not distinguish my wifi code due to so many other wifi subscribers near by. I do think he was correct in his evaluation. I gave the printer to my sibling. He lives in a home. No problem receiving a connection to his wifi subscriber. This meant no more off line nonsense. I hope that helps.

I am planning to use the camera 30meters away from the router, with a wall in between. I suspect this will be too far. Hence my question... Thanks

500 ft is a stretch. Mine is currently about 50 ft from the router, and I'd imagine (speculating here) that it would work well until 100-300 feet with a clear line of sight. I'd suggest looking into a wifi repeater - a quick Google search provided some good resources.

I have found that making sure there is adequate wifi signal is important to using this device to stream video. For my home, I found it necessary to add a "range extender" to my wifi system . I have ocasionally experienced dropped signal since installing the extender but it is rare. Buffering has improved considerably. I have found that the recent update for the youtube app corrected a few issues including the full screen problem. I hope this helps Harold
