Does this have a good wifi range? My room is 3 floors up from the router and my current tablet only gets a bar or two.

I placed mine 2 floors below my wireless router in my finished basement, and it works fine--my signal strength there was 80%; the distance depends upon the strength of the signal coming from your router; you want to be sure, according to the instructions, that the signal strength at the range extender is at least 70% (it shows you this on the dashboard when you connect to the device). And once you have gone through setup and connected to the extended network, you can unplug the device and try it in different places without having to reconnect. The extender remembers your original settings. Really a freaking nice device, at least for me. Took less than 10 minutes to set up at a leisurely pace.

My WiFi range works on the third floor with the modem in the basement. That is a distance of at least 75 feet.

Well I bought the 16GB WIFI-only model. I don't need 3G for my tablet as I use it mainly at home but when I'm outside I tether it to my phone's (Xperia S) 3G network and it works fine. Or you might want to get the 3G model if you need a constant 3 g connection.

Yes, you can use it as Wifi only, there's no service requirement. I'd make sure you buy the tablet from a reputable buyer though, otherwise it'll come pre-loaded with adware.

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.

That is exactly what I did. It sits up stairs in the middle of the house. Router is downstairs at one end of the house. I was having issues getting wifi upstairs to the opposite side of the house. Now I connect to this instead and have no issues having great wifi upstairs or downstairs. Can have issues if portable device is attached to upstairs(this device) and device is on opposite floor. This has not been an issue for my family of 5 or our devices. Works great!

I live in a 2100 square-feet home, I receive 4bars Wi-Fi throughout my home. I can get 1 bar WIFI signal on my cell phone when I am about 100 yards away from the nighthawk router.

Well, this phone does not have much range with WiFi. when I leave my room starts to lose scope... by the way, I'm not sure if that depend about the modem or router because my router sucks!

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.

I think the Wifi is good enough because it's mainly for use at home. You can download games and movies for travel. No need to pay the extra cost. 3G is slow anyway.

The connection is pretty stable short range. WiFi has a limited range but I've found that my Galaxy S4 can keep a connection over 100 feet but the iPad 2 gets pretty unreliable at that range. I feel that the connection for a modern smartphone/tablet is stable for how far you would *want* it to travel away from you. I've experienced a glitch on multiple AR Drone's where it fly's straight up a couple hundred feet and probably 50 feet away from me and they have still responded to the land command from my phone.

Hi there does your tablet has WiFi,the portable router,for it to work need an internet connection,ac power,it has a password for you to put in when you see CrystalView connection on your tablet WiFi

Hello,No this is not true. The range is similar to other devices with Wi-Fi (Smartphone, Laptops, etc...).You can have the frame in another room than the router, no problem, within a normal range for a Wi-Fi device.The Pix-Star Customer Support Team.
