Range with Homelink repeater not very good
927057
A lot has been discussed about the Homelink incompatibility with older than 2011 vehicles (or whatever year), so I was prepared to get myself a repeater.  Not TOO big a deal, especially if you qualify to pay just the $7 shipping charge.  I got my repeater and initially just plugged it in at the back wall of the garage because there's only one outlet at the opener itself in my house.  Got the Homelink mirror buttons programmed pretty easily.  Well, long story short, with the repeater at the back wall, could not get back into the garage with the in-car button.  Fine, the instructions do say to put the repeater as close to opener as possible.  So I get a little pigtail adapter to get two outlets from the one that the opener is plugged into, and plug the repeater just above the opener.  Now I can get into the garage, but the nose of the car has to be nearly touching the door.  Not great.  The included remotes work from a pretty impressively far distance - but the in-car homelink buttons going through the repeater has much less range.  At least for me.

On a positive note, the opener really is whisper quiet.  My old opener was not only loud, but it would shake the room above and cause my stools and chairs to vibrate loudly.  With this one, you can just barely tell when the garage is opening, even when in the room above the garage.

A repeater is not the best solution but it works better then other repeaters especially at the price point.

Very good access point but wireless range is very limited even after having moved access point several times. Should have opted for a unit with external antennas. Still satisfied but looking for a better Dlink unit with better range.

The Signal doesn't extend very well.  You are better off just getting the wiring done and then placing additional Access Points in locations that need coverage.

Overall range of the wireless alarm system is marginal at best.  I started out without the extender.  Sensors are in my garage and receiver is about 40 foot away inside the house.  Did not work at all without the extender. With it the alarms work about 50% of the time.  System is ok if you are just looking for an indication that a door is open.  If you realty need a reliable alarm system this may not be the best choice.

I have an average of 1 to 2 bars inside my house but there were some dead spots and I wanted to improve my coverage.  I found the strongest signal inside the house, set this thing up and it only worked from a foot away.  I checked the manual and it said if the signal wasn't great that you would have a smaller radius of signal boost.  Fair enough.  So, I went into the back yard where I get up to 3 bars and again could only use the unit from 1 foot away.  Finally, I temporarily attached the unit to the roofline, where my phone had 5 out of 6 bars.  At 1 foot I got amazing coverage.  At 2 feet I was back to what I was without it.  The device is utterly useless unless you're within a dismally short range of it.

The router is good and really easy to setup. But I have to admit that the wireless range is not good. With that said  now have to look into a access piont.

Somewhat better than the extendable antenna but does not do a much better job on distant stations.  I'm about 25 miles, line of sight, from the re-broadcast antennas and still don't receive them all.

I've been in the technical end of the computing business for over 20 years - done a lot of networking - thought it would be nice to add wireless capability to my home network, so purchased the WAP11 & WPC11 (the pcmcia wireless card that goes with it.) Software installed ok & got it to work. The problem is that the WAP11 has no useful range. As long as you are located in the same room and have "line of sight" with the WAP11, it's ok. If you go out of the room, or any way get out of the line of sight, even the next room, the signal quality goes to poor and the link drops. I have regular, normal wood and sheet rock walls. Packing mine back up for returning...doesn't work as advertised. Very dissapointing.

My wireless router is in my basement on the other end of the house from my bedroom.  My laptops have no trouble picking up the signal but this has a lot of trouble from that distance.  Once I got a wireless range extender it worked fine.  If you are going to have to set this up a long way from your wireless router you should take that into consideration.  Otherwise, we love our Roku.

The unit works well, but the range is very short, (most cases under 15 feet). Not sure if the problem is in the transmitter or the receiver. Also it does not work with some (any?) of the home link units I had in my cars. I plan on making some of the changes other people have suggested to improve the range.

We live in a basement apartment, and the internet comes in from one end of the house. My office is on the other end, and I was really struggling keeping a solid signal to my wireless router. I got this repeater to try to extend that range, while still maintaining as much of my internet speeds as possible. Here are my results:

***All speeds were clocked using SpeetTest.net on the same computer***
Speed I pay for: 50 Mbps

-WITHOUT THE REPEATER-
Speed in room of router: 60 Mbps down / 12 Mbps up
Speed in office (across house): 22 Mbps / 11 Mbps up

-WITH THE REPEATER HALFWAY BETWEEN ROUTER & OFFICE-
Speed in office (across house): 3 Mbps down / 5 Mbps up

-WITH THE REPEATER IN THE SAME ROOM AS ROUTER-
Speed in room of router/repeater: 22 Mbps down / 12 Mbps up

Overall, the repeater did help extend my network, but it reduced my download & upload speeds drastically. So if you are okay with reduced download speeds or you are looking for something to extend your upload range, this might be a good choice for you. For me, I was hoping to get the full 50 Mbps in my office since the unit claims to be able to transfer 300 Mbps, but that just did not hold true.

One last note: The repeater does look like it covers both outlets, but if you use it on the upper outlet the lower outlet is still accessible for a normal-sized plug (a wall-wart would not fit)

For the price this is a good router. I had an older model of this one for years and it was very reliable and handled our Roku, tablet, PC and smartphone usage all very well. It is easy to set up.

The downside of this is the range is very limited, about 30 feet and cannot penetrate exterior walls very well. I bought this newer model to see if it would give me the improved range I was looking for. It did not so I returned it and bought a refurbished netgear n900 for not a lot more.

If you live in an apartment and don't need a lot of range this router is perfect for you. But if you want to use your wifi on your deck or in the yard, forget about it.

It needs to position where there is good signal to extend range, otherwise, it is not going to work that well.  Easy setup though.

I purchased this router solely for the great range it was purported to have.  I live in a 2300 sq. ft ranch and was satisfied with my previous ASUS N66U router except for its range.  I was not and am still not (even with the AC5300) able to get coverage at my deck (~40ft and three walls from the router).  I also still get weak (1 bar) coverage in my bedroom (~30ft and three walls from the router).  I love ASUS routers, especially their web interface and it is disappointing to see that I realized no improvement in wireless range (updated to latest firmware) with this $400 upgrade.  Luckily I purchased from Amazon and I will be using their no hassle returns.

Extreemely slow. Very poor range. Connection often drops.

I connected the router hoping the RangeMax would get me a stronger signal in another room of the house. Ther was no improvement. The Router worked but didn't help with the signal strength problem. I reconnected my Linksys router.
