what is the range (in term of square feet) of this router?

use in the entire house (4 bedrooms), great signal in the basement, back yard. Hooked up to the TV satellite dish, computer and the phone, no issues with signal.

Greater than a 3000 sq ft home. That's how big my house is and I can go outside to the other end of the yard (approx 70 ft away) and still get a very responsive signal to my laptop.

mine does not - I can only get wi-fi off this on basically shared walls. Does not reach further in the home :(

I"m not sure, but I use my Kindle in the kitchen and the far bedroom. My computer which the router is connected to is in the front bedroom. I basically have the use of the entire house.

I don't know exactly, but my neighbor picks up a full signal from my router (I had him check). This router was recommended to me by the IT guy at my place of employment. I have been extremely happy with it.

TJ,If your router is serving DHCP, and private address space (192.x.x.x) you will have 256 -2 address' available, I don't think you will run out,,,

In my experience it isn't any different from most other routers - decent signal at 50-70 feet. Beyond that it goes down. You might want to think about a Powerline network to get high bandwidth to the farther parts of your home. An example would be Linksys Powerline AV Wireless Network Extender (PLWK400)

Not very familiar with a repeater, sorry. But the NETGEAR AC1600 that I have has been flawless. I have a 1600 sq ft. (on the first level) and I have the router in the basement and I have full bars all throughout the house, it has been the best router I have had so far.

If you're familiar with Belkin entry level routers its about the same. I live in a two story house with solid concrete walls. The router is downstairs and I get good signal on the side of the upper floor above the router. On the other side of the upper floor I have to use a repeater.

This router is dual band too. It should be able to handle 16 devices well, if the location of the router is within the range of the devices (300 ft line of sight, less across walls).

Didn't see the specs anywhere, but I'll say it has average range compared to other routers I have, but I'd recommend a small to small/medium home. For the price it definitely has a good range for the value, but if you have a medium or large home i'd say to spend more money for the longer range (this is an older router now). It works perfect in my girlfriend's small/medium apartment. But with any wifi router remember that cement or brick walls kill the range more than regular wood/drywall walls, and the signals get weaker the higher you go above the router, so try to put the router up high if you can.

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.

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.

The range on the TL-WR841N v9 is short. 25-30Mbps @0-30 feet. >40 feet it drops off to 1-5Mbps. I am disappointed with my replacement router due this issue. It was the price point that appealed to me but it is hit or miss when we are at the back patio.

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.

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.

Many Sizes, small to large. Not helpful answer I know.But I know others will answer soon. It is a good, simple and affordable router unit.

My estimate is about 50 feet but the signal strength falls off quite dramatically at that distance. In our 3,800 sqft house there are areas where I have no signal. The house has 3 levels with all 9' ceilings. I will be installing a range extender. The router works otherwise quite well!

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.

There is over a foot distance. I have my router and moden there and there is plenty of space left over.
