How good is the wi-fi on this thing? Another person said they couldn't get signal 30ft away from the router.

Depends on how strong the WiFi is. sometimes the WiFi is weak on the tablet. it doesnt ;always pick it up. One of my friends has verizon mifi. it doesnt like that wifi .

I was able to get a signal to my desktop computer out in the garage, which is detached from my house. the wireless router was probably 75 feet from the garage and through a few walls. signal was medium, not great not terrible. if you can get one of the antennas outside, it would greatly improve the chance of a good signal. no promises. Good luck.

I think 40-50 yards might be pushing it for a decent signal. The website lists it for a large home, which I agree, it works great all through our house and outside the perimeter but it gets really weak as I'm pulling out of our short driveway. It's a great router, I highly recommend it but it might not fit your distance needs.

Range is not very good. Anything outside 20-25 feet, you actually will loose connection. It was so bad that i had re locate this router closer to the center of the basement. It works flawlessly otherwise. I am contemplating of purchasing the extender so it work consistently on my patio. I did all the suggestions on the web, from changing settings within the GUI up to the antenna positioning with no luck. It just has a short range on its own.

In my experience it isn't any different from most other routers - decent signal at 50-70 feet. Beyond that it goes down. You might want to think about a Powerline network to get high bandwidth to the farther parts of your home. An example would be Linksys Powerline AV Wireless Network Extender (PLWK400)

I get 300 Mbps, but this depends on the distance from the WiFi and the WiFi router. I am line of sight, with about 30 ft distance. One trick I had to do is locate the dongle at the end of an extension USB cable, away from the computer, otherwise the connection would be rather poor.

It has pretty good range. I have a large 1880-era brick house filled with plaster walls. I can get a signal 50 feet away outside on the porch or patio (with windows), and stream to a TV equally far away on another floor.

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.

At just 30 feet you would get a strong signal, yes. Not sure you need a unit with this range capability for just 30 feet and nothing blocking, maybe something cheaper would do as well. Suggest to look at the other Hawking indoor repeater units, as they would likley do the job.

The range is adequate. I have it connected to my PC in the basement, and router is on the 1st floor of my house. The signal is strong and I've never lost connection.

It says in the connection guide that THe Range is 30feet.I haven't tried that far, but i can tell the device works really well. I'll try 30 feet this days and let u know

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. It depends on how many other wireless signals are in the area. Sometimes I've had a range up to 50 yards or more. Other times not as much. 30 yards shouldn't be a problem.

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

If you get 30Mbps to your wireless router, you will get approximately half that using the range extender. In my case, the half speed through the extender is rarely noticeable (only when playing some games).

I get great reception throughout the house and I have the router in the basement, but we are about 25 feet with full bars, but 40 to 50 yards seems far, I also bought a Amped wireless which claimed 20000 ft., which I returned, because it froze and didn't accomplish what was promised: Distance and functionality.
