Can i use this router for longer distance? Can this router handle range around 700 feets?

I've been using it for over a year with few problems. However, I don't have a great mounting location, so the signal degrades after about 30' through walls, books, wires, etc. I tried the new Cisco E4200 and the performance is worse. I discovered that the stronger signal gives the greatest bandwidth. I assume that weaker signals have more dropout and therefore are slower. I tried using it with the DAP-1360, but the extender was in a bad location and the speed was slow. I have 20M dn/4M up cable modem, works great closer to my office, but speeds slow down in the family room: 3-10M up/0.5-3M up. Bottom line: since the speed in family room is better wine: since the speed in family room is better with DIR-655 than E4200, I assume the 655 has bett

I think that this router's range is pretty good, but 700 feet is too far for any consumer router, not to mention the ability of the client network adapter to be heard by the router. That is, not only does the client need to be able to receive the router, but the router needs to be able to receives the clients acknowledgements, etc.There are other ways to make the 700 foot range work.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. It depends on how many other wireless signals are in the area. Sometimes I've had a range up to 50 yards or more. Other times not as much. 30 yards shouldn't be a problem.

It is very simple. Just like setting up a wireless router. 50-60 ft should be no problem as long as there are no obstruction. With clear line of sight you can cover 150-200 ft. Hope this helps

I have a garage about 30 feet detached from the house. This router would not reach with a usable signal very well.

Yes absolutely it will work, there are other routers that do have longer range however

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.

The square footage doesn't matter. What matters is distance plus obstructions. A G-band router should have a range of 150 ft or so, an N-band about twice that. In the "real world" that can be cut short by a lot of things like brick walls and metal panels. If you have trouble maintaining a connection, and you can't move closer, maybe you need a "Wireless Repeater" or "Range Extender" that you can place about half-way.

In my experience it isn't any different from most other routers - decent signal at 50-70 feet. Beyond that it goes down. You might want to think about a Powerline network to get high bandwidth to the farther parts of your home. An example would be Linksys Powerline AV Wireless Network Extender (PLWK400)

It depends on the layout - walls (brick, drywall etc) It gets good signal over a distance of 70+ feet through 5 walls (In terms of range that wold have you covered in a 5,000 sqft house). If you have a steel pillar in its direct range, it gets no signal even at 10 feet, but that is expected of any router.

yeah I have to move my work computer to the same room the router is in for my VPN to work reliably. I would say the range in our house with this router is only about 75 ft at best.

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

I am using this repeater and going aprox 250 ft away. The router is in an upper floor of a office building near my modem and it is going 250' to my house which would be like going up to the 4th floor of the same building. Try it.

It can, but the whole point of it is to extend your range. My router is in the garage (satellite) and the extender is in my computer room. Gets the signal out to my back patio. Seamless to get started up- works just fine for me.

If you are talking about wifi range its about the same as most wifi routers. Give or take 150' to 300'. Also depends on other factors but best case scenario is the range that I just mentioned. One other great thing about this router is with my air stick I tend to get better 4g communications with it. I have used this router with my Verizon stick and have gotten better range than if the 4g modem was used in my laptop only. I am very happy with this router. I use it quite a bit for work.

it is a wireless router, which should provide you with wifi for a reasonable distance,depending on the terrain and/or construction of your premises. for extended range there is a seperate product, called appropriately a wifi range extender

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!

Not sure about a max range. But it has problems after a few feet. But take into consideration I'm using it at work and there could be interference from the machinery.
