My unit is placed no more than six feet from my router. I had no connection problems. I could not tell you what is the maximum range. If the manufacturer has a website, I would check the specifications there.

Mine is with in 20 feet of my wifi router and gets about 50-60% signal.. it's not super bad, but it's not all that great either.

I have mine connected in my bedroom... there is a wall and approx 4 feet from the router. It works at full strength so I think it is not necessary to have it very close. Based on what I have heard from friends (who own similar devices), these devices will work well up to a distance of 10 meters beyond which it is not totally reliable.

Does not have to be to be close. My router is downstairs and I have it connected on the second story bedroom. You could always try using a wifi repeater if you are getting interference.

Mine would connect, and work for a very short time, but then it would just stop communicating over the network...but it appeared as though it was connected.

No need to be close to the router, I use my MK808 in another room from the router and I'm able to connect. If your other gadgets can connect, maybe your MK808 is not working. You should return it.

Ours had no problem connecting to an Asus router in the basement with the MK808 on the main floor and in the opposite end of the house. So a distance of maybe 30 feet and through the wood floor.

Hi, My advice is to return that piece of garbage,I bought it but I installed like a month and a half after, the worse router I ever had, very poor signal range, connection drops constantly, I tried to return it but it was too late, I threw 70 bucks to the garbage, if you can, again stay away from that router it will give you many headaches. It is the last time I buy a Netgear product. Good luck!

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.

May also be able to use a network cable to plug into your router. I would just plug it it in to the network to see what happens. How do you currently have it connected? Or is this going to be new?

Just how old is your router? This never really had an issue with WiFi... The issue was with people with old routers.

I have my wireless for a long time. I have had no problems with it. However if transmitter and receiver are not close, I would have problems as other are discussing. When I move them closer together it takes care of the problem. I hope this helps.

Are you close enough? The tablet is really picky about wifi connections(It really hates being more then 15 ft. away from the router really). If you have connected to a network but it says "Obtaining IP address" restart the wifi setting and restart the router. Those seem to work for me.

I'd use cat5 hardwire to your router firmware usually fails with wi-fi and it is basically useless if you don't update the firmware when asked. But mine is a couple of years old it may have changed since then.

I would advise you to return it. I went through the same thing. What I learned from an IT friend....I live in a townhouse complex, the wifi could not distinguish my wifi code due to so many other wifi subscribers near by. I do think he was correct in his evaluation. I gave the printer to my sibling. He lives in a home. No problem receiving a connection to his wifi subscriber. This meant no more off line nonsense. I hope that helps.

Hi Peace Man.Do yo have other wireless devices that are able to connect to your router? If you do check your iPhone and you Blu-Ray player and make sure that the wireless interface on those devices is turned on. You may also try to power cycle the router by turning it off for a minute or two then turning it back on. Let us know if this solution works for you.Thanks.Cisco-Linksys Supporthttp://homesupport.cisco.com

What kind of wireless router are you using? The extender works best if you place it in a location where you are getting a good wireless signal from your router.

So far, I can't get the WiFi to connect on mine. I've done the firmware upgrade, but that didn't help. It sees the router with a strong signal, but won't connect when I enter the code. So, I'm using the cable for now, but if that's all that works, I should take this one back and get the one without WiFi that is $70 less.

No. My wifi gives me very steady connection. It could be a problem of your wireless router.

I just picked up one of these today. I had no problems connecting to the wireless router (2WIRE) in another room. Good luck getting it to work.
