How is the Wi Fi range on this? Basically, how far from my router can this camera be???

Dear Paul, the wifi range depends on environment around. Some home appliances will affect it, like oven/fridge. we would advise wired connection, if for long time video recording or surveillance. And you may also try powerline adapter, it can help solve range issue effectively.

I had the same question so I moved the camera around the house. So far, walking down hallways, etc., it works at about 70 feet. I am very pleased with that.

Depends on what you're gonna use it for. I film wildlife with mine at distances up to 400 yards. I would have paid the extra $$$ in a heartbeat for more zoom. The wifi I could care less about. I do love the G20 though, it's been a great camera.

Hi purchase the Wifi Antenna extenders for your Wifi router. Try different locations for the camera. Also install the wifi router on a higher level floor.

No, But I would find a different camera system if it is any where near wi-fi or it will step on it and mess wifi up.

Wireless can be flaky. Reset power to both wireless router and camera whlie they are close in proximity. Try to access the camera again. If unsuccessful, you may have to temporarily use a cable, then consult the wireless admin screen in the camera. Make sure the channel in the site survey still matches the setting in the camera. When successful with wi-fi, try putting it back where you want it. good luck.

My camera receiver is right next to my wireless router and has no effect on it. The camera is located out in the motor coach, where I sometimes sit and work with my laptop and there is no effect on my wireless connection.

It's not good for traveling, the camera has to connect with the routers IP address. You can't do that on the road, this is pretty much only good for your house.

Yes; by running the cable you are essentially extending your network by adding another router. Wifi will work fine as long as you are within range. Your camera setup should work the same way.

Hi. I bought 2 different cameras, this model and Foscam FI8910W link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006ZP8UOW/ref=oh_details_o01_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. The second one works very fine, no problems. The first Agasio does not work using the router (wireless), also, this camera does not have any lights for checking the status and the head is fixed. Regarding the distance I don know exactly, because I put my camera not to far, just 10 meters from the router. Regards Luis

I am not sure of the total distance you will be able to go, It all depends on where it is located and if it has to go thru any thick walls etc. Mine is about 100 feet away from the router box on the far end of the house outside and is very sharp picture wise. I have had it drop out sometimes and have to restart the cam. Not sure that has anything to do with the distance or not.

Not sure how you have wireless internet without a router. However, yes you need a router, the camera is useless without one.

I have one at my home pointing to a hunting cabin about 250 feet away from where the unit is. I have a wireless camera at the cabin and I never lose my camera. The signal is a little weak but it works. There is also all woods between the unit and the cabin. So if you have a clear shot I think you'll be in great shape. Hope this helps.

With my experience the range is not that great. I originally had the monitor about 50 feet from the camera. The signal would dip to 1 out of 4 bars often and drop several times a day. I moved my monitor to about 30 feet and have not had a a dropped image since.

We use this camera with a wireless router. We have learned the farther your camera is away from the router signal source the slower it operates. However, you can also connect directly to it using ethernet cable. Or, connect it to a modem/router using ethernet cable.

I have two of these cameras and purchased a nano-size repeater from Amazon allowing me to extend my range: TP-LINK TL-WR702N Wireless N150 Travel Router

It works within Wi-Fi range, should you get outside of range it will download when you return to range, if you leave the camera turned on.
