How come no one ever puts how many feet in range they get? That would be much better. Just telling us that you can now connect where you couldn't before doesn't give a range estimate. Can anyone answer this for me??

"Feet of range" would be a specification that would only be useful in open air - no buildings, no walls, no vehicles, no power lines, etc. And we usually don't use these types of devices in those conditions. Furthermore, range depends on both the router and the device at the other end - antenna design in the other device matters tremendously. For practical applications, you have to worry about how many walls might be between the router and the other device, what type of insulation is installed in those walls, whether it has a foil vapor barrier, where the large appliances are located in the house, where the power wiring and plumbing are run in the walls and floors, and how much concrete there might be between the router and the other device.

i added it to my wifi and got more range, How far the range is not sure. I have a 3 story house and added it to get the wifi from the 3rd floor to my first. It worked for that. So i'll say at least. 50-60 ft. more range for me. I'm guessing that if the signal had to go over a flat area it might cover a larger area.

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

I have not had this out to the range as yet, so I can not answer your question....

Jeff, the distance is standard on most of these and it is not exactly what the manufacturer says -- You can go about 100 meters (or 333 feet), but safe bet is about 300ft. Then you will need a repeater. Additional info can be found under http://www.axis.com/techsup/faq/index.php/?action=artikel&&cat;=175&id;=115358&artla;ng=en&highlight;= or google PoE Distance Limit. Good luck.

Sorry, I assumed it was what it said. How can we test. it. I get about a five mile range.

I've used mine easily 300 ft away, with two walls in between. Range is very good.

I have several of these devices, and a mile distance is not a problem when it is line of sight. If you can stand at your second device and see a clear path to your first device (even a mile away), you are likely to have the two devices talk to each other.

I've got good control at about 150 feet. It starts to loose the connection that far away (or up). It's about as far as you can go and still easily see which direction it is pointing with subtle movements.

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.

I got mines about 1 mile distance, sincerely, I dont know whats in between 'cause from one point I cant even see the other point completely clear, this connection was set in the middle of a city with a lot of buildings in the middle. For sure theres some trees in the way and theres a corner of a house in the middle but I dont know if Im getting thru it or just passing very close. My signal... 85 - 100% depending on the weather.

The range is going to depend on the layout of your space , the composition of the materials in your walls, floors and ceilings -- so it will be somewhat different for everyone. In my case, I have a single story ranch style house, about 3,000 square feet. The router is at one end of the house and the range extender is in the middle. There is no direct line of sight between the two - there are a few walls between them and it works just fine to cover the rest of the house. I get a good signal at approximately 60-70 feet.

Elaine... did you end up trying this one? Or did you find one that had better range? I am looking for something that has good range.

Jose, There is no range. This is a wired not a wireless modem. I have mine connected to my wireless router

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.

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 found it to not pick up a signal when we were nowhere near 1000 feet away from our house; more like only about 200' away. Big disappointment. It wouldn't pick up the signal from our house when I was just across the street in our neighbor's house, and you lose reception even faster if you have a more solid wall like plaster or brick instead of drywall. We live in a city so not sure if there were other interfering signals from home wireless networks or radio.
