I need this to cover a auction next month. The farthest distance from the AP that the signal will need to reach is 250+ yards. Will this cover that?

Depends on what is in the way. Clear path I get good signal a quarter of a mile away, and I am only using about 45% power on mine. If you have buildings in the way the range drops. Also remember that this is a directional antenna.

250+ yards? That's tough and it might just make it. It's got the best range of the items I have tried (in a low price range). But remember wifi is a 2 way street, just cause an iphone 250 yards away can "hear" this AP doesn't mean than the same iphone can transmit that far. Laptops will work father away than small portable devices (iPod/tablets/etc). And it would have to be line of sight, not a single thing in the way, no walls or trees or anything. If so, it might make it.

Most definitely. This is an extremely powerful antennae. It would have a decent signal at 1000 yards and can communicate with a twin antennae over a distance of several kilometers.

I ran it for 100' without apparent signal loss. I would try without amplifier and if signal is low than install a amplifier. Living in an obstructed viewing area (Satellite) placement was more important than distance for signal strength.

There are a lot of stipulations to an answer but yes, it could conceivably cover a block. The size of the block, the type of setting (urban or suburban), and other singles in the area will determine the range. The listening device will also play a role in distance as well. Just keep in mind that, if you're in the US, the FCC regulates what you can be transmitting and how far. The fines for breaking regulations are hefty and can carry jail time. That says nothing about potential civil lawsuits based on what you're broadcasting. I'm not trying to scare you. I'm just trying to point out that you should do your homework. Triangulating a signal is very easy with the right equipment and you may be attracting more attention than you originally intended.

my distance is not clear but the signal makes it through though not full strength. if your distance is clear it should be very strong

The farthest I have gone is across my backyard, which is about 135 feet, without losing signal. This was an unobstructed view to my Samsung Note. If I went behind the shed the signal started to get choppy which was around the 135 foot mark.

I had nothing but trouble with 2 of those amplifier. To get stations 70 and 20 miles away I put outside antennas with a pre amp plus a rotor to fine tune reception. If your stations are close, you will still need at least a small outdoor antenna. HD stations need good signal reception.

All I can tell you is this... if you have a fairly clear space without alot of trees, you should reach about 50 miles. We HAD a good signal until the trees bloomed their leaves and now no signal as we live in a Sherwood Forest type area of GA. I reach Atlanta some 30 miles away when the leaves are off with no problem. DBi gain, etc I do not remember, sorry. Also, I have a booster on mine I bought seperately and it really helps with digital channels.

I don't think that will be a problem for you at all. We have a smaller house but live on several acres and I have been probably 20-30 yards away and still had reception. Just watch the battery. Keep it plugged in unless you need to walk off

70 miles is a long way but it is worth the try. You may need to go to an outdoor antenna or amplified one.

It may be rated at 30 miles but I am receiving channels that are 50 miles away in a 100 mile radius. I am still amazed at how well it works because my home has a tall rocky ridge about 100 yards from my home blocking sunlight to the West and the North of my house. So I thought I was doomed as far as getting a TV signal. I installed my antenna on a short pole just inches above the peak of one of my homes gables. I then sprayed the underside of the antenna with camouflage brown paint that I found at Home Depot. This made the small antenna even more unobtrusive, in my opinion. For your information, I think you will find out that no HOA can tell you that you cannot mount an antenna on your home. There is a Federal ruling about everyone's right to communicate... or something like that. With all that said, I have no idea how well the antenna will work in your attic. I didn't even attempt it because I knew I was really stretching the limits of this device. But I sure have been impressed and it is so inexpensive anyway. Good luck to you!

My furthest is 75 feet with no problems. If you need range, they made an extender for the antenna.

I doubt it very much. I have trouble getting a good solid signal from stations only a dozen miles away. The signal strength meter jumps all over the place. If you have the antenna on the 2nd story you will have better luck.

We found it to not pick up a signal when we were nowhere near 1000 feet away from our house; more like only about 200' away. Big disappointment. It wouldn't pick up the signal from our house when I was just across the street in our neighbor's house, and you lose reception even faster if you have a more solid wall like plaster or brick instead of drywall. We live in a city so not sure if there were other interfering signals from home wireless networks or radio.

It will work great. I have mine set up a mile apart with several large concrete buildings in the middle and it gets a perfect signal with no data loss.

A lot depends on your environment, including antenna height, terrain, atmospheric conditions etc. Also whether you are mobile or base. I can tell you it will improve your signal significantly. I use it on my base and talk 10-30 miles out with no problem.

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.
