What is the range of this device? My Xbox is currently far from the router and want to know ahead of time is I need to rearrange anything.

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.

Don't know the maximum range. Mine is in same room about twelve feet from router and works fine.
1545762
I'm not sure what the range is, but mine is on a different floor and about 30 feet from the router and it works fine

i'm not quite sure... my xbox is about twenty feet from my router in the next room, but i've read other good reviews on it.

Not sure on the exact range. My router is at one end of the house and the Xbox is at the other end. Approx 1500 feet and I have no problems at all.

My Xbox is downstairs about 20 feet away from my router, separated by one floor, and one wall. I haven't had many problems with my connection reliability (although during long streaming movies, I do sometimes get dropped).

My friend down the street has his system 850 feet "in a straight line" away from the router and works great! I guess some folks live in very small homes and are unsure of capable distance.

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

I just plugged the device directly into the router with an Ethernet cable and it seems to do what I want it to do. I purchased a 25 ft. digital Optic cable so I could plug my PC into it to use my media player as a housewide juke box. Other than that, I don't see any reason for going wireless with it.

Yes.....I already did it. It is just the way I'm using it. I configured it to repeat the signal of another router, via LAN cable, and it was the only way to have signal in the other side of my house. The I did the same thing with a $15 NEXXT router and I think it results with better signal. The main router is a Linksys-G 2.4 GHz.....this is the best of all. Thanks for your att.

I was just about to post the same question. I really don't want to run an ethernet line over to the player. I've looked at wireless access points but they're not much cheaper than a full blown router. I'm starting to think I'll end up with another wireless router (with 4 or more ports) to use as a bridge to my existing wireless lan. I just really don't want to spend upwards of $100 just to get bdlive.

Mine is not in the same room either; my router is in the back of the house and I have no trouble at all. I was amazed at the service roku offers.

Yes it is true that hooking up your Xbox to your router with a cord is better and faster the wireless. I have my router right next to my Xbox one and xbox 360. I have tried it wireless and the connection drops alot more. And the beautiful thing is if you have a problem, most of the time just unplugging the ethernet cable and plugging it back in fixes it. Also reseting your router orunplugging it and plugging it back in helps as well. The choice is always corded even for controllers that on mila second makes all the difference.

I used it as an access point, to connect the Xbox, which is wired to the existing Wi-Fi. It does have options to be used as wireless router also. I am happy with its performance for my purpose.

I recently replaced a Linksys WRT54GL with this DGL4500 because I could only open the NAT for CODMW2 to one of my three networked PC's at a time. Immediately after install this router opened the NAT to all three computers on its own with no further configuration, other than to turn "GameFuel" on. I assume it would do the same for an XBox setup. Very good router for gaming anyway.

Hi, I bought one of these and also have a linksys G router. It did absolutly nothing. I have the same range as I had beforeAdrian

I have had mine up to 75 feet away and it works great but there are no walls or anything for it to go throuh, so you may play with it if you have walls and such for it to go through, other things can interfer with the connection also but I do use mine 75 feet away from the router. Thanks

i have had lots of issues with the router. i would sit outside with my iphone controlling my music via apple tv and the connection to the wifi would drop. i was sitting maybe 30 ft away. also the router need to be reset a lot. i would have to unplug and plug back in to get it to reset. The speed is fine. Not sure if you should buy this router, though i don't have any recommendations. i am connected to a Time Warner cable modem.

Hi, Judith. Relocating the router will help, but if you don't want to go through the hassle, you may choose to add a wireless extender instead. We recommend the Linksys RE6500.

I do not think this device can help you at that range. The first challenge is for the unit to pick up the signal, strong enough for the display to show all three signal strength lines (which is what the instructions recommend). Only then, can you get the unit to repeat or extend the signal to its maximum new range. In my case, my objective is to enhance my signal strength on the second floor of my house. I literally had to connect the unit in an outlet directly over the room where the source router is in order to get all three signal strength marks. After that, I can say that the signal on the top floor was marginally improved. For the price paid, I guess I am marginally satisfied. I got a slightly improved signal for a small amount of money. But, again, if you expect for this unit to pick up the signal from 100 feet, and then extend it further, my best guess is that you will be disappointed. Good luck.

Can this router be used to connected a wired device to the wireless network? I have e a tv that is only wired and I would to use this router as a bridge to pull down the wireless signal and transfer them to an Ethernet port. Thank you.

Recently purchased this router. I have 11 devices active on it - 3 wired and 8 wifi, a mixture of Windows, Linux, Android tablet, Android phones, a Squeezebox, a Roku, and networked DVD player, etc. All working fine. As far as distance - the router is in a wood kitchen cabinet and I get good signal all over the house and beyond - up to about 60 feet away.

I am not a gamer but, I can tell you this device used in conjunction with my ASUS RT-AC66U router is a screamer. It get speeds in excess of 600 Mbps. I am very happy with it. Hope this helps.
