What range does this have in distance from the router?

I would say it's a big improvement over the Cisco b/g/n router it replaced, and although it's still not as strong as I would like it, the speeds are noticeably faster and devices aren't dropping off at all like they were before. Compared to the reviews of the other routers that are out there now, darn good bargain for the speed, connectivity, and signal strength improvements. Your results could vary depending on the construction of your housing but I saw improvements for my house which is 3200 sq. ft.

radius is roughly 25-30 yards... on the same level (floor and outdoors) as the router. you do have to be careful of obstructions (metal doors/ductwork/appliances/etc) as they'll reflect the signal. a good central location would be best. :)

The range is well above 1600 ft. In fact your neighbors will be in range if you don't use your security included with router, they'll be able to piggy back on your signal.

your router has to be within 10-12 ft away, than it works. Results can be ~ deferent from router to router.

I replace my Linksys WRT54GS with the Dir-655 in hopes of raising speed. Placing the DIR-655 in exactly the same spot my range decreased significantly versus the Linksys router...as in NO signal about 50 feet away! The DIR-655 box says 6x the range! Baloney!

I place the range extender about 30-35 feet away from the router and I get great signal strength

The square footage doesn't matter. What matters is distance plus obstructions. A G-band router should have a range of 150 ft or so, an N-band about twice that. In the "real world" that can be cut short by a lot of things like brick walls and metal panels. If you have trouble maintaining a connection, and you can't move closer, maybe you need a "Wireless Repeater" or "Range Extender" that you can place about half-way.

I have my Router about 60 feet from the front door and it works fine at that distance.

I can't really speak to the range of the adapter, because my router isn't too far off. I'd say you could probably get a decent connection if there aren't too many walls (and no bathrooms) in between you and the router. I can't guarantee that, though, sorry >.<

Don't know what your definition of long range is, but my modem is in one corner of the house on bottom floor while computer we have this adapter plugged into is on 2nd floor at opposite corner of the house. I'd say it seems to work well from 60-70 feet away, and around corners.

Not sure of the range, but I have this on the 3rd floor of my house, and the router is on the 1st floor which is basically a basement. I also got very good speeds as well. Hope this helps!

The range is going to depend on the layout of your space , the composition of the materials in your walls, floors and ceilings -- so it will be somewhat different for everyone. In my case, I have a single story ranch style house, about 3,000 square feet. The router is at one end of the house and the range extender is in the middle. There is no direct line of sight between the two - there are a few walls between them and it works just fine to cover the rest of the house. I get a good signal at approximately 60-70 feet.

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

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

Not sure. Mine is about 30 feet from my router and I have an old house with thick plaster walls so signal strength as always a problem. My adapter has to go through two rooms about 30 feet from the router and I get a decent ignal, about 2 out of 3 bars strength. Was hoping for better but it works good enough for me. Super easy install too. True plug and play.

I'm using one that is 12.5 inches long. I can hit a 440 repeater 20 miles away from inside my house. I can also hit a 2 meter repeater 15 miles away. Although the reports are not full quieting, when I go outside the signal reports improve dramatically.

"Feet of range" would be a specification that would only be useful in open air - no buildings, no walls, no vehicles, no power lines, etc. And we usually don't use these types of devices in those conditions. Furthermore, range depends on both the router and the device at the other end - antenna design in the other device matters tremendously. For practical applications, you have to worry about how many walls might be between the router and the other device, what type of insulation is installed in those walls, whether it has a foil vapor barrier, where the large appliances are located in the house, where the power wiring and plumbing are run in the walls and floors, and how much concrete there might be between the router and the other device.
