What is the longest range this device can actually do? I don't want the specs from the site, but what it actually did?

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.

depends on your surroundings. I have great results with this device. I've seen then work 200-300' away when there was really no other buildings nearby. I have one in a building in Boston that is on the 11th floor. iT shoots 2 blocks away. At my house it covers 800sqft or so, but barely outside. That being said my Iphone has 4 bars outside the house and inside i have 1 or 2 there is something interfering with it. (who knows what... lead paint maybe?)

I have one mounted in my basement and it covers about a 1/2 acre lot at 80% signal strength on the outer edge. My phone has connected to my wifi in the business parking lot across the street from my house ( about 400ft line of sight and through 4 walls and some dirt) BEST AP I EVER OWNED.

I am not sure. This device was given as a gift to one of my male friends. He says he has enjoyed using the speaker but has not trialed any distance for the wireless use. This answer may be in the specs. Sorry I didn't have better information.

I haven't tried that distance but based upon my experience with the device I would expect that 80 feet would NOT work.

Elaine... did you end up trying this one? Or did you find one that had better range? I am looking for something that has good range.

I checked it at a distance of 15 feet and it worked. Since I sent this to my sister in another country I cannot test the range now. But in that country they may not be using it more than 25 feet. I know that they are very happy with this device.

This has a long range. Very very long. Lol. Like 1/4 mile. Or more. I was trying to see how far the range was. And i gave up. Lol.

I have tested the range, and it works very well at long-distance. I can't ever see it not work, because by that time I'm too far away to see the screen. I'd say the range max is probably 35 feet.

Sorry I don't know the maximum range. It works great for my grandson about 25 feet away and through two walls with the PC sitting on the floor.

Designed to work without internet (has a clunky internet connection mode that works poorly). I am using at 10 meters from camera to monitor with excellent reception (and many walls between). Listed range indicates 30m (have not tested this myself though).

I'm not sure what the range is. I am using mine in my living room. I went down the hall 3 rooms away and it still worked.

Yes but from my experience with this device the range is limited. I actually sent it back and hard wired wverything

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.

I purchased a USB extension and that helped me on the distance. Guess depends what is the distance you are looking for and if you can get an usb extension that long.

I cannot answer that question, but will say I have been having more problems with mine besides the range. It seems devices that spend extended time in the area that is almost in range loose connectability when brought into range. Other devices move in and out of range with no issues. Sorry I could not help.

It's got a rather good range. And can be set to either tell you when your a certain distance from it or use it as a range finder with an even better range and has a "hot or cold" range increment. It will also tell you it's "last" updated location

Too many unknowns (distance/topography/power/etc). I'd recommend contacting a local IT company to do a site survey. BTW, these specific APs are not designed for outdoor use. See Ubiquiti UniFI AP Outdoor 2x2 MIMO Access Point 802.11bgn

Sorry. I'd like to help you out, but I bought this for my some who lives out of town. I'm not sure what range he gets with it.
