How would this work in general,range wise?

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.

Yeah I agree with Danny, but with some creative engineering you can still boost the signal distance. The only way to boost the signal of something like this would be to utilize the interrupt pin and have it trigger from a read on the external antenna, Which would actually be pretty interesting to code and build. Hope this helps!

Haven't tried it, but I know that the range is enough that it would possibly interfere with others using the same device. I've used it on a co-workers computer, and was able to scroll his e-mail list from outside the office door. He's now convinced that his computer is buggered, or he's being monitored by someone remotely.

Yes, I'm not sure of range limit! I've done it from about 1.5 blocks ! I'd say it would probably be good up to 1/4 mile tops! But I can't verify that!

There are too many factors for anyone to give you a good answer regarding a possible increased range. For example; Is there a device nearby that may be degrading wireless signals in general? Poor electrical connections, a fridge capacitor failing, etc all can create problems.

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.

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

Thank you for the response! Absolutely correct, feed it a wireless signal and you are good to go!

It has a transmitter to acknowledge the bit stream and this is why range isdependent on BOTH units transmit power/signal. The range is dependent on the weakest unit.

That pretty much it :-) . I love it. But it will only work within a certain distance.

I have it set about 20 yards and it works perfectly. I would imagine it would work further then that.....easliy.

Sorry, I bought this as a gift and have no first hand knowledge how it worksGood luck

You'd have to set them up differently, but otherwise there's theoretically nothing necessarily preventing you from doing so. That said, this is frankly one of the worst pieces of equipment I've ever had the misfortune of owning, so I doubt it will actually work.

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)

I can only offer some real world experience, I have 3 of these, In an office building it works fine for about 100 feet then starts to drop off at 150 though walls it does not work well. I found a second unit 100 feet away is a good solution. In open air 350 feet work fine. You have a power setting and you can turn it up. You also have a range setting and it goes up to Kilometers, This issue is there is a compromise of the speed and bandwidth as you turn this up. So I am sure it will work at 2,500 meters but you wont be getting 100MB though put.

Yes you can. Doesnt have quite the range as I had hoped but, they did advertise "up to......." which means maybe less distance.

It connects to your wireless router, not your computer directly. The environment that your equipment is in highly affects the distance that it needs to be to the wireless router.Check out the following link: http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/wirelessproducts/f/wifirange.htm
