my garage is around 700ft away from my wifi router, my laptop can't reach home wifi range, is this the right equipment for me, if not can you suggest

Yes, this would be perfect for you! The Picostation has excellent range. One thing: if your garage has metal siding, that can impact the ability to "see" the network.

everything depends on your setting and what you want to do, I probably wouldn't use this unit for the purpose ststed - I would get a repeater, they cost about the same, but - it all depends on the setting and what you really want to do - a 'network guy' should look at your setting.

Conditions vary, so it is hard to say. The laptop will certainly "hear" the unit, the question is can the wiFi unit "hear" the laptop. I would install the Picostation as close to the garage as possible, or even outdoors (it IS weatherproof) Location is everything. Get it as close o the garage as possible, with a minimum of obstacles between it and the garage. Good luck!

I have Verizon Quantum router. If you connect using Ethernet it will drop your range signal on anything that is wireless. It does work but we have a lot of laptops and tablets.

The range is not very far. I have a two-story house and sometimes it won't register at the far end of the house from the garage door. Hope that helps.

I have an identical situation and it works very well at least 200 feet away. Hope this helps.

It depends on distance....I don't know where 30 ft. came from mine is working great at much farther then that. But the outlet you use in the Garage has to be on the same fuse box as your router. The speed decreases as your distance increases. I am getting about 55Mbps at almost 90 ft. on my sons Xbox.

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

Depends on how far away the garage is; more than 50ft of cable degrades the signal from the modem to the router. Why run the cable? This router signal should cover 100ft without a problem.

I actually have my router on the far end of the house. I don't have any issues whatsoever in the house and get full through put of my speed. I have had it several months now and LOVE it. Best router I have ever had. As I said....range has not been an issue and in fact my neighbor has complained that he gets a better signal from my wi-fi than his own in his house. LOL. Hope that helps.

I have a 2800 sf house, with the router place in the room above the garage mounted on a wall vertically. The single to the other side of the house is ok, 52mb out of 145mb. I will be installing a shelf to mount horizontally to try getting a better signal, just have not gotten to it.

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

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.

The distance between my wifi and the router is more then 12 feet. Also there is a wall between rooms Ive had no problems with since purchase. I hop ed this is helpful to you in your decision.

The wireless router needs to be pretty close to you... Myabe like within 100ft?

The range for me was about 13ft. So I returned mine and the seller was very good about it. I strongly encourage a NetGear powerline setup. Like the powerline 200+wifi or the 500+wifi. Simply plug the wifi end into a electric receipt and the other end in a plug close to main router, make sure all lights are green and its good to go and FAST. Make sure to follow directions given. Takes 10 mins and works very well. Hope this helps

I had a WiFi access point and one of those on the back of a Foscam Wifi cam and I was approx a mile down the road with no problem. The range can be farther but it is line of site so if there a lot of trees or buildings in the way the distance will be shorter.

Confirmed. The myQ device is hooked up next to my router by ethernet cable on the second floor. The garage door unit is located a floor below, 200 feet away through several walls. It works.
