What is the maximum distance between router and the wireless garage door opener? My closest internet connection is about 100 ft from openers. Thanks

Hello Gary... I'm not sure about the maximum distance, but our router is about 75' from the door system and works just fine. Overall, we really like our system and are glad we purchased it. Sorry we can't be of more help - perhaps contact liftmaster and ask for a technical engineer to answer your questions. ...Good luck!

The internet gateway's wireless range to your MyQ opener is 300 - 600 feet typically, depending on the number of walls and other obstructions between the two. Without any obstructions the wireless range is over 1000 ft.

That really depends on your wifi setup. If you have a setup that is set to use low power, and you have many walls/floors between the two points, you may experience difficulty reaching the wireless controller from your router. One way to test is to take your laptop/tablet/smartphone to the controller location and see if you can locate your router wifi connection. If you can reach the signal that way, you should have no problem with the 828LM connecting.

I dont know what the maximum distance is becasue I dont have a good way of testing it. But, I was able to put the gateway on my access point. Its in the room furthest from the opener. It is a approximately 50 ft from the opener.

Mine is installed inside the garage. The longest distance to use the remote control is about 60 feet (going through 3 or 4 walls). Definitely the timer needs to be inside a weatherproof box if installed outside. The wireless range depends on number of obstructions between controller and timer and weatherproofing box may not affect the range that much (not as bad as a wall).

The gateway portion of this product has an ethernet cable to plug into a LAN port on your router. The gateway's wireless range is hundreds of feet, thus neither the router nor the gateway need to be near the garage. The wall control portion, that connects to the door opener, communicates wireless to the gateway. The gateway and wall control can be hundreds of feet apart and maintain a reliable wireless connection.

I actually have my router on the far end of the house. I don't have any issues whatsoever in the house and get full through put of my speed. I have had it several months now and LOVE it. Best router I have ever had. As I said....range has not been an issue and in fact my neighbor has complained that he gets a better signal from my wi-fi than his own in his house. LOL. Hope that helps.

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!

Not mine, but wifi router in my home is over 100' and several walls away, and signal in kitchen is weak anyway. View this as how much is between your microwave and your router. If you don't get much signal in your kitchen, you won't have much disruption with your wifi signal.

Confirmed. The myQ device is hooked up next to my router by ethernet cable on the second floor. The garage door unit is located a floor below, 200 feet away through several walls. It works.

Depends on how far away the garage is; more than 50ft of cable degrades the signal from the modem to the router. Why run the cable? This router signal should cover 100ft without a problem.

What I would suggest is that you also invest in the A6200 USB adapter to connect to your system in the Garage that way your signal is enhanced for better connectivity from that distance. Research here:http://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-adapters/a6200.aspx. I have both the router and the USB wifi adapter. But it has been my experience that speeds are better wired!

My router is in to floor of my house and I'm using this on a desktop in the basement. I get 4 bars out of 5 signal strength. I would say it's about 50 to 60 feet distance between the two. Haven't tried any other distance

Quick question; I continue to buy wireless components and was wondering if there is a limit to the number of wireless devices that can connect to this router? I have, computers, playstation, printers, DirectV boxes for several rooms, etc. that are all wireless and I would like to know the limtations of this device. Thanks in advance. ~ Gunner

Once you configure it for wireless, it just needs to be within range of your wireless Router. I had mine about 100ft away. Might need to see what your routers broadcast range is.

My estimate is about 50 feet but the signal strength falls off quite dramatically at that distance. In our 3,800 sqft house there are areas where I have no signal. The house has 3 levels with all 9' ceilings. I will be installing a range extender. The router works otherwise quite well!

It has a range of at least ten feet, so take it from there. DON'T aim it at computer equipment, especially a wireless router. Mine accidentally got aimed at my router from about 8 feet distance, and my router started resetting itself over and over because of static buildup on the antennae. No permanent damage but very puzzling until I noticed I was getting a little zap when I touched the router, and then noticed the ionizer had been moved a bit. (cats)

My remote works approximately 100' from the unit. If you are getting significantly less then that, you may have some RF shielding close to the unit. Move the unit away from any large or metal grounded structures or equipment such as metal garage doors, water heaters, HVAC units, etc.

It connects to your wireless router, not your computer directly. The environment that your equipment is in highly affects the distance that it needs to be to the wireless router. Check out the following link: http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/wirelessproducts/f/wifirange.htm

No need to be close to the router, I use my MK808 in another room from the router and I'm able to connect. If your other gadgets can connect, maybe your MK808 is not working. You should return it.
