What range is the router?

My apartment is about 1300 sqft. and i get reception pretty much everywhere in apt. From this range extender. Obviously the further away I am from the device the weaker the signal.

This router extender has a range if several hundred feet maximum but we normally it within about 150' between travel trailers and a mobile home. It works Very Well with all the metal siding etc. The BEST part of this extender is that it Never Drops The Signal as our previous Netgear extender did. We never have to re-boot it. We have haed a few extenders but none as reliable and powerful as this one. Great signal strength.I highly recommend the Hawking and the price is very reasonable for what it does. Joe

I'm not sure if you're looking for the receive range or transmit range. I used it at our lake spot and the router was at least 300 feet line of sight from the source and it worked fine. I haven't tried to find the transmit range limit.

Not sure, the wifi was so bad that I gave up trying to make it work. I had it 5 feet from my router. :-(

The wireless router needs to be pretty close to you... Myabe like within 100ft?

I'd get a better Router :)Seriously, place it in the same room you're using (if possible), as range decreases with every layer of material it has to pass through (flooring, ceiling, walls, etc.).This is a basic router, and if you really don't want to stare at your router on a daily basis, you can try putting it in a room adjacent to the main area you normally use. Hiding it in the basement when you're usually upstairs will likely result in you dropping your connection more frequently.Good luck in optimizing your location!Gordon

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 have had mine up to 75 feet away and it works great but there are no walls or anything for it to go throuh, so you may play with it if you have walls and such for it to go through, other things can interfer with the connection also but I do use mine 75 feet away from the router. Thanks

We have not had any problems with the system interfering with our wireless internet or phone system. Unfortunately, I don't know what the maximum range is. We have a 2,900 square foot home and haven't had issues with the range.

It has a reasonable range for a router but if you purchase it from Amazon you have no support from Cradlepoint. They hate Amazon. I have purchased 3 under theses conditions. Unfortunately there is no alternative, so I will just replace them rather than get support.

I cannot answer this, as I only have a router in use with my PC and a wireless laptop; the router isn't wireless.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I replace my Linksys WRT54GS with the Dir-655 in hopes of raising speed. Placing the DIR-655 in exactly the same spot my range decreased significantly versus the Linksys router...as in NO signal about 50 feet away! The DIR-655 box says 6x the range! Baloney!

I just had this router installed by my ISP. I'm very impressed with it so far. I have a 2 acre lot around my 3700 square foot house. It covers the first acre of it at 2.4Ghz and covers the entire house at 5Ghz but doesn't go very far outside. Of course limited range is one of the things about 5G.

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

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