How is the range of this product? Mine is really really bad (cannot detect router 5 feet away).

Normally the range is quite good. If you have 1 antenna connected make sure it is on the primary connector on the card. Also try rebootong your router (pull the power for 30 seconds and plug it back in).

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.

This is my first experience. I can tell you that other routers have not done a bit of good. Such as Netgear and Linksys. I was very disappointed with those. MY range is excellent with Engenius. I live down in a hole and I have taken my cell phone a good 1/2 mile up the hill and still had connection. Hope this helps

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.

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?

I have th5 5GHz network broken out from the 2.4. I use the 5GHz for backhaul and I have it point-to-point just over 1/4 mile, but this is not usable spectrum as its only backhaul. The 2.4 goes around 500 - 750 foot radius

My Xbox is downstairs about 20 feet away from my router, separated by one floor, and one wall. I haven't had many problems with my connection reliability (although during long streaming movies, I do sometimes get dropped).

FB: the distance is too far and the insulation in both house and garage will kill the signal, and weather will also affect it. They recommend the extender be within about 20' of the router. The only way it might work is if you got the strongest extender and put it in a window without a screen faceing the garage, and tried one of those long range wifi antennas for the computer i've seen advertised in some mags. If it works, it'll be cheaper than running cable that distance. good luck, Charlie c.

I am using mine approximately 60 feet from device to device and seeing little degradation. How far are your devices from each other? I think I read a comment where you can go much more than this. One possible issue you may have that I faced was that my house was wired with a splitter behind the wall running to two different coax outlets. You can not have a splitter in the infrastructure.

We cannot honestly tell exactly if that would help, unless we can identify that the problem is with your existing modem-router and/or the range extender (if we got that right). How far can the signal go with your modem-router? It would help if you can tell us more about your experience.

your router has to be within 10-12 ft away, than it works. Results can be ~ deferent from router to router.

So, unless it's close to your router it drops the signal constantly. Perhaps it is just my tv, but I have seen other users say the same thing.

Not sure on the exact range. My router is at one end of the house and the Xbox is at the other end. Approx 1500 feet and I have no problems at all.

It has a range of at least ten feet, so take it from there. DON'T aim it at computer equipment, especially a wireless router. Mine accidentally got aimed at my router from about 8 feet distance, and my router started resetting itself over and over because of static buildup on the antennae. No permanent damage but very puzzling until I noticed I was getting a little zap when I touched the router, and then noticed the ionizer had been moved a bit. (cats)

have you tested at different distances from your router? which card do you have (there are two).

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.

Mine is with in 20 feet of my wifi router and gets about 50-60% signal.. it's not super bad, but it's not all that great either.
