My modem signal extends about 30 feet. The area I want to reach is about 70 additional feet with about 3-4 walls to penetrate. Will this work?

I don't believe so. I had to go about 20 feet but through an external wall and could not get a signal. I wound up just hard-wiring the Extender, running a cable from the source to the extender. The other thing to note here is that I'm not sure I agree that it's an "extender"... it simply started another network. So... with an ethernet cable and any wireless router, you could do the same thing.

Hi there I could not get my Belkin to work. My problem was trying to connect it to a replacement main modem. I tried following all of the instructions I could find and nothing worked so I finally gave up and bought a Netgear modem. The Netgear modem works fine. I'm trying to find someone who perhaps is more computer savvy than me that I can give the Belken to. sorry I can't be more help

This going to be a stretch. You will need to place the extender as far in the direction of coverage as you can. Preferably use the device you will be using in the new coverage area and find a spot which has at least one bar of signal strength from the base unit. Set up extender in this area. You may be able to get a weak signal at your desired area but this will be a stretch. If you can, put your base unit and the extender in the attic where ther will be fewer obstructions in the signal path or use two extenders.

If you can locate the range extender at the extreme end of your modem range and use only a single band (2.5ghz) it may just work. In my application my modem goes through 2 walls about 20 ft from the extender and my wifi devices are about 25ft further. Hope that helps.

Depends on where you place it and what is in the walls. If there is no plumbing or heating ducts in the intervenin walls and you place the extnded at the edge of the range of the router it may work

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

The signal range is way over 30 feet. Mine is about 20 feet away and through two walls and my signal is fine. The only trouble is that, after two months, the adapter was suddenly unable to connect to my wireless network. This could very well be a user issue but, anyway, back to your question: Yes, it works awesome within 30 feet.

I am not using any extenders still I get 100 mbps about 50 feet away. It should support, If you not using everything together.

I do not think this device can help you at that range. The first challenge is for the unit to pick up the signal, strong enough for the display to show all three signal strength lines (which is what the instructions recommend). Only then, can you get the unit to repeat or extend the signal to its maximum new range. In my case, my objective is to enhance my signal strength on the second floor of my house. I literally had to connect the unit in an outlet directly over the room where the source router is in order to get all three signal strength marks. After that, I can say that the signal on the top floor was marginally improved. For the price paid, I guess I am marginally satisfied. I got a slightly improved signal for a small amount of money. But, again, if you expect for this unit to pick up the signal from 100 feet, and then extend it further, my best guess is that you will be disappointed. Good luck.

No, it can't. If you want to extend (or possibly go through a wall), then you'll need to purchase something like an extender (http://www.solidsignal.com/cview.asp?mc=00&m;=Next%20Generation%20Home%20Products&b=Products) from Signal. When doing something like you want/need, you sometimes have to experiment. You can copy & past the link I provide into the address bar of your browser OR, just search on Google etc. for a remote extender. Good luck and I know you'll work this out.

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.

your range, of course, is as far as your circuitry goes in the dwelling. I image you're trying to extend your range outside of the dwelling. I do not, however, have any knowledge of an extender working but I do know that another hub will work when hung off of one of them. That being the case, my impression would be that thestextender would work. I'm interested if it will. Let me know...

Good luck getting this device to function outside of a 3ft area of where you plug in the dongle.The one I purchased only reaches about that far.

I have had mine as far as 30-40 feet, with no problems in reception? So yes, it should be no problem. Walls, etc. could shorten that length, but I had a few walls separating the signal from the phones, when I was 30-40 feet away, in my house and had no problems with reception. Your house could be different, depending on thickness of walls, emi, etc.

This is definitely approaching the limit for sure. I think they make a 75 footer, that also has a relay in the middle like this one, but I wouldn't string several together. Your data transfer rates will end up in the toilet for sure.

I've never used the Belkin past around 25 feet. 400 feet is quite a range for this device and I would be surprised if it could cover that distance, especially through multiple walls, etc. I wish I could answer the question with a definite "yes" or "no" but don't have enough experience to say. I would try it by going to a neighbor's house with my Kindle, but I have been "forced" to use an AT&T; router since signing up for fiber optic service and the Belkin router is boxed up and inactive at the present.

When it worked properly, it extended the range about 50 feet. However, it regularly dropped its connection to the router. I ended up giving mine away.

The unit comes with 3-4+ feet of wire. I would NOT extend it due to the fact that the connection may not be good and false readings may be given. just my 2 cents

I have my box entirely hidden and the unit works fine with this extender. So for as long of wire as you have I think it would work. However, the extender is specific to certain cable boxes so make sure it really does work with the box you have

Yes, I used CAT 5 wire to run the signal 75Ft. It does not work. I purchased Nextronics instead which work fine for this distance.

Mine works at a range of about 50 feet through 4 x 10inches concrete walls with no problems.
