Can anyone suggest a fair priced router that will get further range as this one does not get to part of my house?

yes I have the same problem with the WRT120N Wireless-N, can you help me with buying a better one ?

The thicker/denser the wall(s) between you and the router the shorter the range. I can usually get a usable signal over 150yds away from my house in 1 direction, maybe 50yds the opposite, and a decent (~100mbps) signal downstairs in the opposite corner of the house from the router. Wifi range varies so much with the environment surrounding the router that I just say it's "smoke and mirrors." Overall I like this router as it keeps up with my 100mbps ISP.

Range is not very good. Anything outside 20-25 feet, you actually will loose connection. It was so bad that i had re locate this router closer to the center of the basement. It works flawlessly otherwise. I am contemplating of purchasing the extender so it work consistently on my patio. I did all the suggestions on the web, from changing settings within the GUI up to the antenna positioning with no luck. It just has a short range on its own.

Hello - I find using this device very sporadic .. meaning my wifi kicks out every single day.. if I am away from unit say 100 feet - I am NOT very happy at all with the performance - BUT I say this .. not knowing if it is in fact our main router - although I did have another much less expensive device that I used (Securifi Almond-Touchscreen Wireless Router extender) and that worked so well .. but it was not meant for the outdoors. I wish I had done a bit more investigating .. for the money spent .. I am not happy ..sorry ..

Depends on your floor material, if wood needn't, if cement I'm afraid the signal will drop to very low level and you'd best get a repeater or deployment another router.

I would estimate the range to be a few houses away. So you can have the wifi modem inside and use the adapter to pickup clearer signal outside. It's not as far as most people say though.

Thanks for your reply. Now my decision is whether or not to give up the home phone or buy another router.

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.

Unfortunately, we have a wireless router in the basement.. thus the house is essentially wireless. What would you recommend in that case?

Unfortunately, this is High Power Router not an extender. If you were looking for an extender, you may want to consider the SR10000.

I just had this router installed by my ISP. I'm very impressed with it so far. I have a 2 acre lot around my 3700 square foot house. It covers the first acre of it at 2.4Ghz and covers the entire house at 5Ghz but doesn't go very far outside. Of course limited range is one of the things about 5G.

I would look into getting a power over Ethernet setup, these wireless range extenders don't work very well

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.

Your options are A) move the router closer to the bedroom B) replace the antennas on the router - if they are replaceable - with larger/higher gain antennas or C) install a wifi booster. Cisco/Linksys makes one for about $30 and it works pretty well. The Unifi Long Range AP is a great device but if you go for it, I suggest turning off the wifi on your router. Otherwise, you'll be creating two different wireless networks and moving between them may be problematic.

I have my router upstairs and about 400 feet away and it receives full signal

I get great reception throughout the house and I have the router in the basement, but we are about 25 feet with full bars, but 40 to 50 yards seems far, I also bought a Amped wireless which claimed 20000 ft., which I returned, because it froze and didn't accomplish what was promised: Distance and functionality.

500 ft is a stretch. Mine is currently about 50 ft from the router, and I'd imagine (speculating here) that it would work well until 100-300 feet with a clear line of sight. I'd suggest looking into a wifi repeater - a quick Google search provided some good resources.
