Anyone know the advertised range on this router?

Not sure I've ever seen an advertised range. I've accessed mine on our back patio which is about 60 feet away and it worked fine.

I have a garage about 30 feet detached from the house. This router would not reach with a usable signal very well.

The specific range is not stated in the owner's manual, but a You Tube video contained speed test results at 25, 50, and 75 feet. The owner of the router determined that speed dropped off at 75 feet, which in his case was outdoors and through several walls of the house. There are separate range extenders available for ranges up to 10,000 feet, but the prices are fairly high, (almost $400.). My person experience with the Belkin N150 router is that it works perfectly throughout my 3-story house and in my back yard. Hope this was helpful.

500 ft is a stretch. Mine is currently about 50 ft from the router, and I'd imagine (speculating here) that it would work well until 100-300 feet with a clear line of sight. I'd suggest looking into a wifi repeater - a quick Google search provided some good resources.

Not sure of the top range, tested mine at 20+ ft as well.. worked flawlessly.

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 range is well above 1600 ft. In fact your neighbors will be in range if you don't use your security included with router, they'll be able to piggy back on your signal.

yeah I have to move my work computer to the same room the router is in for my VPN to work reliably. I would say the range in our house with this router is only about 75 ft at best.

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.

I am using this repeater and going aprox 250 ft away. The router is in an upper floor of a office building near my modem and it is going 250' to my house which would be like going up to the 4th floor of the same building. Try it.

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.

Hi, I bought one of these and also have a linksys G router. It did absolutly nothing. I have the same range as I had beforeAdrian

I would estimate the range to be a few houses away. So you can have the wifi modem inside and use the adapter to pickup clearer signal outside. It's not as far as most people say though.

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.

I did not do a lot of tests but the best I got was 175 mbps over AC and in the 225 mbps range for the N. To be fair, the router (also Asus) is about 30 feet from where the adaptor was located and the signal had to pass through 4 drywalls in a single family home. Overall, I decided that it was easier to convert my existing phone lines (ran over cat 5e cables) to network and lose the phone vs. having to deal with the wireless.

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
