what's this routers range; I need a router for an enormous house will this work?

My bet is no. Not consistently. You're better off to put in a series of access points, or, depending on the number of units, power-over-ethernet (D-Link calls it Powerline AV). IF you're going the PowerLine route, make sure you don't get the minis because they're limited compared to the other series which is actually addressable through a web browser. Short of going REAL Cisco, I don't think there is a single wireless router that will handle an 'enormous' house. Despite what D-Link says.

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)

Yes, it cover's my 2 story 3000 sq. ft. home and outside on rear deck and area around the house.

I can not tell for shure what is the range , but the book sad 300 feet. I have 3 copmuters and 2 cell phones on it and never had any glitch . Everything runes smood.

With my experience, range is not as promised. 40' through two thin walls coverage stinks, fyi. No chance on 300'.

My friend down the street has his system 850 feet "in a straight line" away from the router and works great! I guess some folks live in very small homes and are unsure of capable distance.

I have a combination modern/router and this didn't make a difference for me. Works very well in my experience. I guess just make sure that area of your house had good coverage.

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

The router works fine. However, I have metal studs in my home and therefore the full power did not reach to the far end of the house. I bought an extender and now have full power everywhere. Easy setup. Just make sure you set up extender plugged in next to your computer and then move it to the location to want....they left out that set. You may not even need an extender.

Hello - I find using this device very sporadic .. meaning my wifi kicks out every single day.. if I am away from unit say 100 feet - I am NOT very happy at all with the performance - BUT I say this .. not knowing if it is in fact our main router - although I did have another much less expensive device that I used (Securifi Almond-Touchscreen Wireless Router extender) and that worked so well .. but it was not meant for the outdoors. I wish I had done a bit more investigating .. for the money spent .. I am not happy ..sorry ..

I have a 3 story house with the router on the middle floor. It covers pretty well. Middle and top floor each 1000 square feet.

I believe not. You still need a router if you want to connect multiple devices in your home network. Your power line does not have routing capabilities. Good luck.

I don,t use routers. It will work but only at 300 baud. I would go for the 600b extender.

probably. this router is junk, imo. look into the asus or netgear as alternatives

The way this item was advertised was as an exceptionally powerful router, which in reality it is not. It is such that I am not using it since the router supplied by the ISP is more powerful than this item. I don't think it will solve your problem specially if your home is built of concrete. The item I received is a plain Belkin N600 Router

I think that this router's range is pretty good, but 700 feet is too far for any consumer router, not to mention the ability of the client network adapter to be heard by the router. That is, not only does the client need to be able to receive the router, but the router needs to be able to receives the clients acknowledgements, etc.There are other ways to make the 700 foot range work.

A number of them will work. I purchased the following Net Gear: http://www.amazon.com/Netgear-802-11AC-Gigabit-Extender-EX6100/dp/B00HHRP11C . I was able to make it work pretty easily. I was able to push the signal farther out of the house (to the backyard) and increase the speed in the family room.

Not sure how much range you're looking for -- it's not that far -- I have a Netgear Router as well and it works well with that== range up to 50 feet and through several walls and a garage

Not very familiar with a repeater, sorry. But the NETGEAR AC1600 that I have has been flawless. I have a 1600 sq ft. (on the first level) and I have the router in the basement and I have full bars all throughout the house, it has been the best router I have had so far.

Actually I am not quite sure. Ours is about 6 meters from the router, around a corner and it works just fine.

I just had this router installed by my ISP. I'm very impressed with it so far. I have a 2 acre lot around my 3700 square foot house. It covers the first acre of it at 2.4Ghz and covers the entire house at 5Ghz but doesn't go very far outside. Of course limited range is one of the things about 5G.
