is this a good long range router

I'm going to buy a bigger one. It's not as good as I had hoped, especially with thick walls and electrical outlets, wires, etc. nearby. I guess it depends on your layout, distrance involved and so forth.

Absolutely, but it only transmits in the 2.4 GHz band. This is not a dual band router if that matters to you. I have a long house and my previous router the Cisco WRT54G would not stretch from one end of the house to the other. This one does and it even gives a signal outside too.

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. :)

Didn't see the specs anywhere, but I'll say it has average range compared to other routers I have, but I'd recommend a small to small/medium home. For the price it definitely has a good range for the value, but if you have a medium or large home i'd say to spend more money for the longer range (this is an older router now). It works perfect in my girlfriend's small/medium apartment. But with any wifi router remember that cement or brick walls kill the range more than regular wood/drywall walls, and the signals get weaker the higher you go above the router, so try to put the router up high if you can.

This is my first experience. I can tell you that other routers have not done a bit of good. Such as Netgear and Linksys. I was very disappointed with those. MY range is excellent with Engenius. I live down in a hole and I have taken my cell phone a good 1/2 mile up the hill and still had connection. Hope this helps

When it worked properly, it extended the range about 50 feet. However, it regularly dropped its connection to the router. I ended up giving mine away.

It has a reasonable range for a router but if you purchase it from Amazon you have no support from Cradlepoint. They hate Amazon. I have purchased 3 under theses conditions. Unfortunately there is no alternative, so I will just replace them rather than get support.

Not sure of the range, but I have this on the 3rd floor of my house, and the router is on the 1st floor which is basically a basement. I also got very good speeds as well. Hope this helps!

your router has to be within 10-12 ft away, than it works. Results can be ~ deferent from router to router.

It's a DocSys 3 modem, so it supports very high speeds, yes. Not sure what you mean about range. This is not a wireless router, it's just a modem. You can certainly plug a router into it though.

There are 5 modes for this router. You can use a wired connection and make it a wireless access point and you can have it repeat a wireless signal with no wired connections at all to extend the range or to be an additional access point. This router will do what you are looking for, it was designed for that and more.

Unfortunately, this is High Power Router not an extender. If you were looking for an extender, you may want to consider the SR10000.

i have had lots of issues with the router. i would sit outside with my iphone controlling my music via apple tv and the connection to the wifi would drop. i was sitting maybe 30 ft away. also the router need to be reset a lot. i would have to unplug and plug back in to get it to reset. The speed is fine. Not sure if you should buy this router, though i don't have any recommendations. i am connected to a Time Warner cable modem.

Must be...I am very satisfied with this router. It serves my entire house even the hard to reach spots that my previous router could not reach. We run about 10 different components and do not have any issues. Works great!!

it is a wireless router, which should provide you with wifi for a reasonable distance,depending on the terrain and/or construction of your premises. for extended range there is a seperate product, called appropriately a wifi range extender

When it works, it seems to have decent range. I have a 4 bedroom house. Router is upstairs in farthest room. One camera is on the other side of house in kitchen bi say when it works because it's real nice all around when it's up and running But it seems every time I leave and go remote, they go off line. I don't know if it's a temp thing or what. But it's frustrating and defeats the purpose

I have my Router about 60 feet from the front door and it works fine at that distance.

Yes. That is why the extended range version of this router is basically the same, except it has two larger, high gain antennae on it.
