Has anyone had issues with distance? My old modem transmitted throughout my whole house and into the back yard. The Netopia drops inside the house.

I this is one of the worst modems out there, if you can take it back, and get your money back, I went through two of them or maybe my problem was AT&T. thank you

Same problem here. The receiver has trouble keeping connection through a sliding glass door less than 20 feet away from the transmitter. Door open, no issue. Door closed, constantly dropping signal. Tried fresh batteries, no joy. Complete crap.

It depends on the router and the obstructions. Mine (TP-Link) has produced a signal of a couple of hundred feet. I don't know if it's consistant tho.

Hi, at my home which is 4 room flat I get 20-25 feet in usable range. Farther than that I begin experiencing cuts And /or distortion. Hope that helps. Have a nice day from Montréal, Canada

Comcast told us and another friend the same thing. We didn't change and our internet works fine. Our friend upgraded to a leased Comcast box and her internet got worse.

Tavis, I'm looking for a similar solution - how did you do it in the end? did you use the 2.4ghz to get that kind of distance?

It s not a great modem, I had it for 4 years and the range is horrible. Buy a newer one if you can!

Sadly, I think you (we) are screwed. I was having horrible speeds with Verizon FIOS for a few months (<1Mbs), blaming Verizon and getting 3 new routers when I finally realized while I was on the phone with technical support that all my problems went away when I turned the BestView baby monitor off. I've tried all the channels with no luck. My wife and I just know to turn it off for a minute or two when we need to do some quick browsing. Very annoying...

I haven't had a problem with mine. Works great use it on Comcast in NE Florida. If I have connection issues usually on Comcast end.

Maybe if it's no longer than that. Mine was about 20 feet away and it keep dropping the Wi-Fi at night. The next morning I would have to unplug it and plug it back in to work.

FB: the distance is too far and the insulation in both house and garage will kill the signal, and weather will also affect it. They recommend the extender be within about 20' of the router. The only way it might work is if you got the strongest extender and put it in a window without a screen faceing the garage, and tried one of those long range wifi antennas for the computer i've seen advertised in some mags. If it works, it'll be cheaper than running cable that distance. good luck, Charlie c.

Hi, maybe i am not the right person for you to ask this question now, cause i am actually having problems now. It was working fine, but for some other reasons, i needed to re install everything from Factory, and now is not working properly. I go a Little bit far from the router, and the speed goes down town. Hope my answer is usefull. Cheers

I had the same problem and just attached an long wire (I just used light speaker wire) to the antenna and extended it high enough till the signal reached. I have it controlling my outside yard light through our kitchen window and its about 70 feet away

I have absolutely no problem with any of my NetGear products. I have had them for years. So I don't think quality is the issue. If you live in a built up area where a lot of signals are bouncing around that may have become an issue where someone else's signal may be degrading yours. My suggestion is to try to change channels and see if that helps. Go to the Jennie function and it will explain the steps and good luck.

In my experience it isn't any different from most other routers - decent signal at 50-70 feet. Beyond that it goes down. You might want to think about a Powerline network to get high bandwidth to the farther parts of your home. An example would be Linksys Powerline AV Wireless Network Extender (PLWK400)

Mine might be a generation older than this one, I purchased it in June 2011, but my range is quite expansive inside and out of my house. My home is about 3500sq ft and 4 total floors and I never lose signal even when going outside. I did go next door to out neighbors house once, and it was spotty, but did still work some. I never even really pop up the antenna and never have problems.
