Extend the range of wireless signal to 3-4 miles? is that real? i need a range of ard 4-500 ft with 1 concrete wall, will this do the job?

Waste of money! My router didn't have enough strength so I tried adding this and it did nothing. I ended up buying a range extender for $49 and that did the trick for me. TP-LINK RE200 AC750 Universal Wireless Dual Band Range Extender

We get signal from the local Starbucks from 6 miles away.. Your wall is it between your signal and the target?

Possibly... I used one on a security camera mounted about a hundred yards away, aimed at a bottom-tier DLink wireless router inside my house. I would think that a pair of the Keedox antennas aimed at each other should easily handle the distance. I guess the real question is just how much metal is in your concrete wall. If your wall is unreinforced concrete block construction, you probably won't have a problem. If the wall has a lot of reinforcing metal inside, there might not be any antenna that can help you.

The unifi inside starts dropping at about 35-50' when it hits walls and various normal interior house surroundings. My house is 120' long I set one in center and one on each end to get the phones that are the hardest to get to work properly. The issue is mostly with the device in use rather than the Unifi do not expect 300' to be a solution as most devices will never be able to talk back at that range. But at there price it was a steal to set up a real 1st class WiFi system.

You can only extend the range of your network with an AirPort or AirPort Extreme, unless you connect it with a cable to your router. Still needs to be closer to where you sit than the wireless router.

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.

unless you make a duplex directional wi fi transmitter antenna and duplex receiver or have a few signal boosters along the way 2,640 feet is a little far for wi fi no matter how good the equipment. If you go line of sight no obstructions at all I have been at 400 feet. but i will not leave equipment out side to have that range.

Line of sight definately helps. You can set it up horizontal or vertical and get a little wiggle room with the signal. I've set up one at 3\4 of a mile and some trees and it gets 90% signal strength. The other is about 500 yards and gets 99% and it goes through a building external wall too.

The range will vary. I installed unit in an upstairs plaster wall structure and I was able to pick up signal as far as 250 feet away. Range is excellent.

I placed mine 2 floors below my wireless router in my finished basement, and it works fine--my signal strength there was 80%; the distance depends upon the strength of the signal coming from your router; you want to be sure, according to the instructions, that the signal strength at the range extender is at least 70% (it shows you this on the dashboard when you connect to the device). And once you have gone through setup and connected to the extended network, you can unplug the device and try it in different places without having to reconnect. The extender remembers your original settings. Really a freaking nice device, at least for me. Took less than 10 minutes to set up at a leisurely pace.

It depends on the strength of the signal. Many signals are only designed to carry a certain distance. I would think that 45 miles is stretching it, but it's possible. Let the community know how you made out.

The motion detector range is about 15 feet to 20 feet but if you place one in barn the wireless signal should work no problem. Plus I believe Fortress makes a booster panel to increase the signal. Maybe you could mount the booster outside and that would work even better. My furthest sensor is about 80 feet and it works through my house over my garage and shed.

I have successfully used it over 300'. When setting up, it found dozens of Wi-Fi signals over 1/2 mile away! That being said, don't expect it to work that far. It puts out a strong signal and is visible hundreds of feet away. A smart phone just doesn't have the power to get signal TO the EnGenius. I know of an island in Maine 2 miles offshore with an EnGenius at each end pointed at each other. I choose this model because my IT guy at work recommended. After being a heavy PC user since DOS 3.1, I recently switched to MAC. Best thing I ever did. IT friend remotely talked me through configuration it in lees than 15 minutes I have successfully used it over 300'. When setting up, it found dozens of Wi-Fi signals over 1/2 mile away!

It depends on the layout - walls (brick, drywall etc) It gets good signal over a distance of 70+ feet through 5 walls (In terms of range that wold have you covered in a 5,000 sqft house). If you have a steel pillar in its direct range, it gets no signal even at 10 feet, but that is expected of any router.

Mine works up to 20 feet but it also depends on the placement of the unit. I live in an older home and we have noticed the connection is very weak if the wireless/Bluetooth connection is trying to go through a load bearing wall.

The base unit operates on the 2.4 GHz ISM band using 802.11 b Wi-Fi, which is rated at a range of 125 ft indoor; 460 ft outdoor. So it sounds like you would be pushing the limit. Depends on how many walls, floors, windows, trees, etc. it must pass through and how dense they are. You won't know till you try.

Paul, I was trying to get full wifi out to my backyard which is only about 50' away, but my problem is I have steel siding on my house instead of wood or vinyl .So I positioned the extender at the nearest wall socket to my sliding glass door to to the back yard as to reflect thru the glass and not my siding. This worked, I didn't have all bars showing but I had the wifi ok. Your standard wifi router (N) should get you at least that far without the extender, standard structure house wood of vinyl siding of course

no Idea, I bought for my nephew, to get his fathers wifi signal has to go through 2 concrete walls, 10 ft away from his room. have not heard back if is working or not.?

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.
