what is the range have an old 2 story home and router I have will not work
1325964
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

Unfortunately the R10000 I received range-tested very poorly in my home. It may have been defective, but I expect a high standard of quality control on new devices so I was in no mood for going through customer service for the repair/replacement of an item that should have lived up to its advertising in the first instance; So I returned the Amped and purchased a dual-band b/g/n model from a leading manufacturer that has performed brilliantly and reaches from my second-floor office throughout our townhouse and across a patio and into my garage workshop. I'm sure there are other very good devices from well established brands on he market that will do what you want. Unfortunately the R10000 I received range-tested very poorly in my home.

This router did not help me with the same problem you have. Needed to locate the router closer to the upper level of the house so did that with my old router and returned the Amped router.

This unit is rated at 10,000 sqft per our performance tests. Of course results will vary as WIFI signals are affected by many variables including interference and the coverage area can decrease or increase as well.

I can't give you a square footage or mile radius but I can tell you, I have a two-story house as well and this router works throughout and also reaches my neighbor across the street and two doors down. So, I would say it reaches a pretty good distance.

It's quite far. I have taken my iPad 2 doors down and across the street and it works great. I live in a mobile home also. It is tough for the signal to go through all the metal is my understanding and the signal it received by all my neighbors and its strong. This is a really great router. I hope this answers your question. If not feel free to ask another. You will not be sorry if you buy this router.

It reached as far as I ever needed to in the houses and apartments ive lived while I had it. The biggest being a 2200 square foot, 2 story house. Sadly mine finally died about a month ago after 8 years. It just stopped picking up networks and there was nothing I could do to get it to work.

you can use this model as a repeater for your existing router, its called ddwrt, its a firmware update that you download to the router you want to use as the range extender(repeater)

your router has to be within 10-12 ft away, than it works. Results can be ~ deferent from router to router.

My unit is placed no more than six feet from my router. I had no connection problems. I could not tell you what is the maximum range. If the manufacturer has a website, I would check the specifications there.

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

Does not have to be to be close. My router is downstairs and I have it connected on the second story bedroom. You could always try using a wifi repeater if you are getting interference.

I don't know; I hope someone else can help you with this. I only have used it with my computer and there is a router attached to the upstairs computer.

Hi, I bought one of these and also have a linksys G router. It did absolutly nothing. I have the same range as I had beforeAdrian

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.

If the router has up to date software you should be able to load it without to many problems.I bought one the software was not current so I had to contact their help staff. They had me up and running within a half hour.

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.

"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.

Range is great for 2 floors and outside. Both plugs are North American power though. You will need a converter for over seas.

Cannot answer precisely as I am in a small townhome with no distance from router exceeding about 20'ft.

Range is good up to 30 feet in my house, and works through walls at that range as well. I read the complaints as well and found out that it was the first model they made that had range issues.
