I'm not sure. Our house is half the size of yours but the signal strength is excellent (all the bars are green). You may want to check the specs or contact the manufacturer.

Can't answer that question. I have the repeater installed in the same room as my laptop. My modem, however, is two floors above and a distance away, so I know that the unit works as promised with the modem.

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.

I have a 4 story townhouse. My computer and router is on the 4th floor. The Repeater is on the 3rd floor and I use my iPad on the 2nd floor. it's only a 2,000 sq ft town home but it works fine in this environment. Good luck. PS their customer service people are great if you run into trouble.

I have mine connected in my bedroom... there is a wall and approx 4 feet from the router. It works at full strength so I think it is not necessary to have it very close. Based on what I have heard from friends (who own similar devices), these devices will work well up to a distance of 10 meters beyond which it is not totally reliable.

I'm using one that is 12.5 inches long. I can hit a 440 repeater 20 miles away from inside my house. I can also hit a 2 meter repeater 15 miles away. Although the reports are not full quieting, when I go outside the signal reports improve dramatically.

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

It will mostly depend on your landlord's router. With a good one it should just reach. For anything that far though, I recommend setting up a wireless repeater.

It depends on the size of your house and the location of the router. I have one of these routers in my house. It seems to be a good router but I did have to put in a range extender due to the router not giving a strong signal in my entire house. I have a 3 level home with the router in the lowest level and the extender on the main level. this made for the best configuration for me. Hope this helps you.

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.

Works for me. I have a Belkin router in the basement and a two antenna Amped SR1000 repeater on the second floor feeding the directional antenna outside. The directional antenna uses one spot where one antenna was removed (which one makes a difference) and the other antenna is for indoor use.I have a great signal from the Amped to a dock location 300 feet from the house and I select the Amped source everywhere in the house except the basement where the Belkin signal is better.

My apartment is about 1300 sqft. and i get reception pretty much everywhere in apt. From this range extender. Obviously the further away I am from the device the weaker the signal.

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.

Hi dear friend. In my house the repeater dont have any kind of problem and works perfect.

I do not think this device can help you at that range. The first challenge is for the unit to pick up the signal, strong enough for the display to show all three signal strength lines (which is what the instructions recommend). Only then, can you get the unit to repeat or extend the signal to its maximum new range. In my case, my objective is to enhance my signal strength on the second floor of my house. I literally had to connect the unit in an outlet directly over the room where the source router is in order to get all three signal strength marks. After that, I can say that the signal on the top floor was marginally improved. For the price paid, I guess I am marginally satisfied. I got a slightly improved signal for a small amount of money. But, again, if you expect for this unit to pick up the signal from 100 feet, and then extend it further, my best guess is that you will be disappointed. Good luck.

I have tried with 2 floor and no problem but as per theory if room/ floor has many walls or obstacles then range will be bit less. In that case you can keep router in most open space.

The answer to that question depends on a lot on factors. Where well this router be located? Forgetting about the term "exact" when it comes to RF, your full effective range will be greater if this router is mounted in a wide open warehouse than in the basement of a 3 story home. That being said this is a nice quality router that you can load 3rd party firmware on (e.x. dd-wrt) and tweak tx pee settings to your liking.

I live in an 1800 square foot 3-bedroom ranch. My wireless router sits at one far corner of the house and my ROKU device sits at the opposite end of the house. I placed the Cisco repeater about midway in the house, near the ceiling. My ROKU went from a weak signal to "Good". I've had no problems with signal strength anywhere within the house. One warning. This device is a bear to configure. I have to use an old Windows XP pc to configure it. The included disc won't work on a Windows 8 pc. As long as I don't change my home network password, all is well. After a power outage or shutdown, I always reboot in this order; my modem router, then the repeater, and then any devices I want to use. I'm glad I bought it.

I have had mine up to 75 feet away and it works great but there are no walls or anything for it to go throuh, so you may play with it if you have walls and such for it to go through, other things can interfer with the connection also but I do use mine 75 feet away from the router. Thanks

I didn't use it to replace my router. I used it as a repeater. I have it placed about 35 ft from my router and have my wireless devices sync with my Amped wireless. I can go outside of my home across my yard and pool area and use my wireless device. I can stream movies and my sling box to watch TV on my i pad. I also have the highest U- verse. The signal strength is excellent.
