I live about 500 ft from my landlord's router and its not line of sight. Will it still connect?

It will mostly depend on your landlord's router. With a good one it should just reach. For anything that far though, I recommend setting up a wireless repeater.

It might. Maybe get it and make sure you have a good return policy? (since you'll have your answer almost immediately)

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.

My router is in to floor of my house and I'm using this on a desktop in the basement. I get 4 bars out of 5 signal strength. I would say it's about 50 to 60 feet distance between the two. Haven't tried any other distance

Should work fine. My computer is on 2nd floor at opposite end of the house where the router is located.

I never had a problem with it connecting after I got a power line adapter. My router was too far away to pick up a strong signal.

Paul, I was trying to get full wifi out to my backyard which is only about 50' away, but my problem is I have steel siding on my house instead of wood or vinyl .So I positioned the extender at the nearest wall socket to my sliding glass door to to the back yard as to reflect thru the glass and not my siding. This worked, I didn't have all bars showing but I had the wifi ok. Your standard wifi router (N) should get you at least that far without the extender, standard structure house wood of vinyl siding of course

No, you would need to attach it directly to the modem, but you should be able to pick up the signal 1000 ft. away as long as there are not any major obstructions between you and it - rock or stone walls, metal siding, etc.

My daughter had it in her room upstairs and it connects to the router downstairs in the opposite side of the 3400 sqf home. I guess it depends on the strength of the signal.

it connects through your wireless router if you have a signal your connected after setup most routers have a 100 ft range or more

out side looking at the router, my house is 250 ft from garage with steel walls and it works fine.

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.

Not sure of the range, but I have this on the 3rd floor of my house, and the router is on the 1st floor which is basically a basement. I also got very good speeds as well. Hope this helps!

Don't know the maximum range. Mine is in same room about twelve feet from router and works fine.

The distance between my wifi and the router is more then 12 feet. Also there is a wall between rooms Ive had no problems with since purchase. I hop ed this is helpful to you in your decision.

I've noticed if I'm more than about 30 feet away from the primary router it starts to disconnect.

I don't believe so. My father's frame is on one floor of his house and the router is on another.

I am planning to use the camera 30meters away from the router, with a wall in between. I suspect this will be too far. Hence my question... Thanks

A repeater such as this would work, but if you do not require a repeater to be mounted outside, you're may be overpaying. Thirty feet is not a great distance for a wifi router. Perhaps locating the router higher in your brothers house would be helpful in increasing the signal strength to yours. This Hawking exterior repeater is very good, but is meant to be used outdoors and you pay for that feature.
