What is it's range? I.e. how far away from the router do you have to be for it to get a good signal?

Depends on which band one uses. The 2.4G band is good for about 70 feet through walls. The 5G band is about 1/2 of the distance of the 2.4G band.

Works well for me 25ft and thru 2 walls with 5G USB 3.0 setting. Good enough for moderate gaming.

I'm about 30 yards away and upstairs from my router and I get full strength signal. It's fairly good. Just make sure you use the latest drivers from their website, and not the included disk. Also be sure to set your power settings such that it doesn't turn off USB to save power, and set your USB device settings for full power on your port. This will be best on a USB 3.0 port, but still gets great speed on a 2.0 port.

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.

The range is well above 1600 ft. In fact your neighbors will be in range if you don't use your security included with router, they'll be able to piggy back on your signal.

It depends on the router and the obstructions. Mine (TP-Link) has produced a signal of a couple of hundred feet. I don't know if it's consistant tho.

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.

sorry, there is no one fits all answer; I replaced a Medialink router with the Asus and am able to receive a good signal where I was unable at before. A lot depends on obstructions (walls) and other interference as microwaves and neighbors. My router is placed in the den and I can receive a signal outside at the pool (going through 3 walls) which is about 80 feet......very happy with this choice I've made.

i added it to my wifi and got more range, How far the range is not sure. I have a 3 story house and added it to get the wifi from the 3rd floor to my first. It worked for that. So i'll say at least. 50-60 ft. more range for me. I'm guessing that if the signal had to go over a flat area it might cover a larger area.

Actually I am not quite sure. Ours is about 6 meters from the router, around a corner and it works just fine.

router has no strong output signal I don't use it any more ,it is not the range that count ,if you have to much metal in the wall or floor, your signal can't go through.

The range is adequate. I have it connected to my PC in the basement, and router is on the 1st floor of my house. The signal is strong and I've never lost connection.

I have had mine up to 75 feet away and it works great but there are no walls or anything for it to go throuh, so you may play with it if you have walls and such for it to go through, other things can interfer with the connection also but I do use mine 75 feet away from the router. Thanks

I doubt it I have added a Belkin range extender, mine is no more than 50ft from the end of house bedroom, admittedy the main router signal goes through some thick timber, but its in the middle of the house in the basement, and only sometimes gets a signal at the end of house bedroom upstairs.

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)

I have a garage about 30 feet detached from the house. This router would not reach with a usable signal very well.

No you can put it far away from the router it just has to pick up the signal.

My friend down the street has his system 850 feet "in a straight line" away from the router and works great! I guess some folks live in very small homes and are unsure of capable distance.

It has a very good range indoors but 25-30 feet is the maximum I have tried, but the signal reception is very good at that distance, it should work OK at longer ranges.

Try getting very close to your router, like less than 2 feet away, sounds silly but this worked for me it seems this tablet wont pick up wifi at any distance even if it shows signal.
