I am experiencing signal strength and range problems with my current Belkin n600. I live in a big apartment complex. Is this router likely to perform

In my opinion no with the open source software firmware for some reason it compromises range, they say you can revert it back to the Buffalo software, but I have not tried that

I live in an apartment complex as well, and I have had zero problems with strength or range.

I had the same issue, I called up dlink tech support desk, so after 3 failed attempts to fix the problem, they sent me the replacement AC model. The new router is working fine now but w/ occasional signal disconnect. Overall, I'd say - if possible get your money back and go for netgear.

The previous answer was perfect. I would only add that, if the available wireless connection uses the 2.4GHz band, the 5GHz band provided by the Belkin device probably would improve the connection quality.

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.

Yes, I use the router at my place in N MI where there is no wireline high speed Internet. I just went month to month on the data plan to see how it would work. If it did not work. I could sellthe device and cancel the data plan. Have had it two years and love it. I manage the deployment of cellular networks for a living, so I am very fussy about performance.

Hi W.B., performance will vary depending on the wireless environment in your home, interference, construction of the home, but this router should work well for you. We would also recommend taking a look at some of our routers with enhanced signal transmission given the size of your home, such as the R7000 or R8000.

It should but don't get this router. I returned it. It had horrible range and my apartment is 700 square feet. I got the R6300. It's the best. Got the refurbished one. It's cheaper.

For me, the AC it´s not good at all. The range is not as good as the N router. For example, I have my AC router in one room and my computer in another room, very close, and I prefer always the N connection because is faster. Maybe the AC is good if you are in the same room, but not for all your house. Next time I will be buying a N900 router with dual band (450+450), not an AC router.

I believe the N600 will be fine. the range and distance does not seem to be an issue for you

Depends on your floor material, if wood needn't, if cement I'm afraid the signal will drop to very low level and you'd best get a repeater or deployment another router.

You will probably get the same reception no matter where you place it. If your Internet access isn't a problem, try splitting the difference and place the router on the first floor or you can do what I did and that is purchase a D-Link range extender. The model I bought is DAP-1320 and it work fine. All you need to do is plug it into a wall socket. The first floor should work fine.

Hmm I wish I had gotten this one then.Belkin N+ is a good router though and we haven't had any problems with it whatsoever.I would recommend it. But I'm thinking the version2 of this linksys is better.

I have a two story house with about the same Square Footage and this unit will cover the entire area via Wi-Fi. With that said you will find that the speed / lag may be an issue if you are trying to stream large files. It's really going to depend on your needs. I actually setup two units to service different areas of the house so that speed is never an issue.

That depends on alot of factors, brick, wood, etc. I have wood walls and can pick up a strong signal 70 feet away. FCC limits the transmission power to 1000 mw, so this puts out the maximum power. It is stronger than other routers that I have, but the real magic of this router is the meshing capability and band width monitoring and control capability. If you only need one router and don't need multiple guest control then just get a regular wireless router. This is a wireless switch and needs a router to connect to before your modem.

The N300 is a faster router with better band. The N150R works fine it just limited on reach. Mine does not get connection in my garage. As stated by someone else it works fine for gaming when its in the same room I've never had problems on pc gaming or xbox one gaming

It's a good router. The range in my apartment is small but close to the unit it is fast. It did come in original box.

1. @ Emily D. Wollen, This device works great throughout my apartment. I live in an apartment, and I have yet to have an issue being in other rooms. I am an IT professional, and this little guy is one of two routers in my home. I apartment is on the first floor, but in the back of the building. And yet I get great service outside on the front side of my brick apartment building. It will work.
