wi-fi range: How does it compare to the ipaq's (e.g., 111) or other machines?

i do not have an ipaq. i would say that compared to my dell notebook it is 40 percent less in range.

I don't know how to answer your question. I had this unit in my RV as we traveled around North America. This unit improved out signal strength where we were unable to connect to the WIFI systems. The range was good and the speed was great.

1) I do NOT see they have taken the device to the WiFi certification org (no logo), that is about as close as you could get to "compatible to any device"2) However, I have it working with a iPhone 5, iPad 2, and a couple different lap tops.3) From a signal level, I was able to use going through no fewer than 6 walls and 30-40 feet

It's wireless, and my home office is approximately 75 feet from the router, but no problem getting the signal to print wireless; when you turn it on, it comes on instantly; the 8500 that I had, every time I turned it on, it would go through a couple of minutes of booting up, checking the printer, etc.; the 8630 does not do that; so far, I am very pleased with this printer, no problems what-so-ever

I have Verizon Quantum router. If you connect using Ethernet it will drop your range signal on anything that is wireless. It does work but we have a lot of laptops and tablets.

Average i would say. It didnt really impress me in that department. The range was the same as our old linksus wireless G router.

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.

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. :)

I have had no wifi performance issues to date. The power chord is actually better than the Dell equipment, as in it is a longer chord. However, it isn't a large gauge. I'm very satisfied with the laptop and have not had any issues to date unlike the Dell Inspiron that I returned after malfunctions and crappy customer service.

thats good to hear. thank you!UPDATE: I have now received my ASUS UL-20 and i can confirm that there are no wi-fi problems. i have a very strong signal that has not dropped once.

I think it is close to the same, but I travel a lot with varying signals and WiFi and factors that make it hard to track which is better. Definitely not bad. Hope that helps.

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.

There are too many factors for anyone to give you a good answer regarding a possible increased range. For example; Is there a device nearby that may be degrading wireless signals in general? Poor electrical connections, a fridge capacitor failing, etc all can create problems.

I have absolutely NO problem with the WiFi. I have had NO problem with this machine at all since I got it . I was afraid to get it for the same reason.

1) The power should be close enough for it to work just fine. 2) Internet protocol is pretty much standard and the same everywhere. 3) The laws concerning WiFi (the RF signal) might be different, but it will definitely connect to whatever else you take with you (laptops, WiFi cards, routers, etc.)

I upgraded from a Netgear WNDR3700 N600 to this Netgear AC1900 (R7000) and the range greatly improved. Areas of the house that had no signal before now have 4 out of 5 bars. I also tried a Apple Airport Extreme and was sort of disappointed that the range wasn't even as good as the WNDR3700. I'm glad I didn't spend the extra money on the NETGEAR AC3200 (R8000)

I live in Naperville, IL about 40 miles from Chicago. I would check some other Best Buys. Just look on the side of the box if you see i7-4510 and WLAN: AC+BT4.0 its the newer model, the only difference on the cpu is about .2ghz on low end and .1 on the high end, but WiFi works perfect! and it is dual band
