Has anyone tested the range of this adapter?

Excellent range. I use my over one hundred feet inside a metal building from router. Best adapter i ever used

I have mine connected to an ext cord. Only 6 or 8 ft with no issues. As long as the cord allows an input of 110v to the adapter, it shouldn't matter.

I had similar problems. I plug the reciever into one of the ports on the front of my computer and the problems went away. It looks like the range is not that far. At least that was what it was for me.

Tavis, I'm looking for a similar solution - how did you do it in the end? did you use the 2.4ghz to get that kind of distance?

The framerate is fine, no detectable effect from using this adapter. I'm using it to connect one TV to one laptop so I can't answer the other part of your question.

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 use one with a distance of about 300 feet (about 100 meters) and barely have the required signal strength. Also, the output signal is weak at a distance of 15 feet in my house.

Not sure, depends on how much power the adaptor uses. I really don't know, sorry.

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.

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.

I've haven't tested the range exclusively, but on a recent shoot I was about 100ft away and it worked just fine.

This adapter is rated at .4 amps (400 ma). If your system needs 500 ma, it may work but you may lose features. I would look for an adapter that matches your rating.

Yes. I tested mine up to 25ft and it worked fine. My batteries are new, as are the keyboard and mouse. For the test the USB receiver was on the rear of my laptop on a desk. And as someone else mentioned you can also extend the range even further with the included USB extension cable to reposition the receiver.

i use the power line adapter with that range extender(TL-WA850RE) and it works very well. No problems at all.

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

lets think about this... 2000 meters is OVER A MILE!!!! Any claims like this should be ignored 100%. It may in fact do better than normal USB adapter but this "quoted distance" is bogus. Just like consumer two-way walkie talkies (they say 36 miles+) but that is under IDEAL conditions direct line of sight mountain top to mountain top.

Not sure. Mine is about 30 feet from my router and I have an old house with thick plaster walls so signal strength as always a problem. My adapter has to go through two rooms about 30 feet from the router and I get a decent ignal, about 2 out of 3 bars strength. Was hoping for better but it works good enough for me. Super easy install too. True plug and play.
