what is the range of the router?

The thicker/denser the wall(s) between you and the router the shorter the range. I can usually get a usable signal over 150yds away from my house in 1 direction, maybe 50yds the opposite, and a decent (~100mbps) signal downstairs in the opposite corner of the house from the router. Wifi range varies so much with the environment surrounding the router that I just say it's "smoke and mirrors." Overall I like this router as it keeps up with my 100mbps ISP.

sorry, there is no one fits all answer; I replaced a Medialink router with the Asus and am able to receive a good signal where I was unable at before. A lot depends on obstructions (walls) and other interference as microwaves and neighbors. My router is placed in the den and I can receive a signal outside at the pool (going through 3 walls) which is about 80 feet......very happy with this choice I've made.

Agree with "no one answer" answers. I have two of these because I have 10 foot wide masonry fireplace in the middle of the house... no one spot gives full coverage due to the inevitable blindspot. At my daughter's home she gets coverage throughout her two story home with the router in a corner of the first floor.If you have a frame house and the router is fairly centrally located it should work fine for data. If you are trying to serve video the end device will be the limiting factor for range and reach.

It depends on the layout - walls (brick, drywall etc) It gets good signal over a distance of 70+ feet through 5 walls (In terms of range that wold have you covered in a 5,000 sqft house). If you have a steel pillar in its direct range, it gets no signal even at 10 feet, but that is expected of any router.

I have this in a 5000sqft house and it covers everywhere well as well as the yard. I also run this in a 7000sqft business and I have coverage across the car park in a neighboring building. As others have said it will depend on location, walls, beams and other factors.

Like everyone else has said, it all really depends on your specific situation. Walls, obstructions, and interference from things like microwaves and other routers can affect the range. Placement of the router can also affect it.The router itself provides exceptional range.

As others have suggested, there is no absolute answer to this question. I replaced a Cisco WRT400N with this N66U, and signal strength, represented as a percentage by my computer, is consistently about 10% (absolute, not relative) higher than with the Cisco in the same locations. Positioning of the three antennas has a significant effect on signal strength, and you may need to experiment to get best results.

I have a 2500 square foot house and a shop on half an acre. There isn't anywhere on my property that I drop bellow 75% signal strength.

As far as an accurate distance , I haven't put a tape measure to it . However I can tell you my home is two story , 3500 sq. Ft . , the router sits downstairs approximately center in the home and it reaches all parts with no problem . I even get a signal outside for a good distance . It is stronger than my netgear wndr3500 . ...hope this helps ...God bless

My device is in the middle of my house. I would say about 25 feet is the effective range

Not sure about a max range. But it has problems after a few feet. But take into consideration I'm using it at work and there could be interference from the machinery.

Range as in how far it goes wirelessly? Its not wireless. You would have to put a router.

Theoretically the WiFi range is around 100ft. This camera should be hooked up to 60ft from the router. The WiFi signal also depend on the router you use. For example, my laptop can fine my new ATT NVG510 in 90ft. But it only find my old Netgear WGR614V9 in 40ft.

This unit needs to be located where it can detect a 70% signal strength from the router. Since WIFI is environmental result will be different. Typically though you can set this about 30-40 feet from the router and it will connect.

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

Don't know the maximum range. Mine is in same room about twelve feet from router and works fine.

I can't really speak to the range of the adapter, because my router isn't too far off. I'd say you could probably get a decent connection if there aren't too many walls (and no bathrooms) in between you and the router. I can't guarantee that, though, sorry >.<

Not exactly sure, but probably not far. I would recommend just spending the extra 50-100 bucks to invest in a solid linksys/Cisco router

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. :)

It depends on the density and material of the wall, but I would say yes about 10 to 20%. If you want extreme signal range you can try an Amped Wireless repeater. Because of these antennae my parents can get a 2 to 3 bar signal outside their house 450 feet away. I installed the amped wireless repeater in their house and their speeds match mine with no real change in dropped packets. Mount your router about 4 foot off the ground, I got a cheap $15 wall shelf at. Walmart. Good luck hope this helps!

The ONLY router I use is the Airport Express and I use it with my iMac and my wife's Acer laptop. On my iMac, plugged and play. On my wife's laptop I did use the built-in WIFI setup in Windows Vista and connected right away. I've been using this configuration for the past 4 years with no problem. The range on my setup is about 50-70 feet, with the Airport in my living room. It covers all rooms in my home (1200 sq ft) and extends outside.

Depends wireless router, i have just a wirless g and works at 70 yards away.i

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.

We have not had any problems with the system interfering with our wireless internet or phone system. Unfortunately, I don't know what the maximum range is. We have a 2,900 square foot home and haven't had issues with the range.

I am not sure of the exact range, we have a good sized yard, and never had a problem with range in the house or outside.
