User verifiable range? Spec states 50ft. Has this impressed or disappointed?

Wireless technology is a funny thing. I can walk away from my laptop and go into the kitchen and everything works fine so long as the headphones are in direct line of sight. Close a door or put a wall between me and the laptop and the distance I can walk away plummets, which I guess is to be expected. Phones can have a shorter distance since their radios are sometimes under powered to save battery but that thing is normally in my pocket anyway.

I was impressed. Was using them while cleaning the leaves in the yard. When I walked back in my house and got on the second floor (~30 + ft with walls and ceilings), the sound started to deteriorate. It turns out that I've dropped my phone in the yard! Took me a while to dig it out.

It says in the connection guide that THe Range is 30feet.I haven't tried that far, but i can tell the device works really well. I'll try 30 feet this days and let u know

So far I've used it reliably at about 300 feet. My problem with it is that you can't read the writing but the LED's do work.

The user manual states the range is good up to 200', unobstructed.YMMV and it will, especially in a typical house.

In long range mode the maximum distance is 50 ft. Do not know if that could be extended.

I have successfully used it over 300'. When setting up, it found dozens of Wi-Fi signals over 1/2 mile away! That being said, don't expect it to work that far. It puts out a strong signal and is visible hundreds of feet away. A smart phone just doesn't have the power to get signal TO the EnGenius. I know of an island in Maine 2 miles offshore with an EnGenius at each end pointed at each other. I choose this model because my IT guy at work recommended. After being a heavy PC user since DOS 3.1, I recently switched to MAC. Best thing I ever did. IT friend remotely talked me through configuration it in lees than 15 minutes I have successfully used it over 300'. When setting up, it found dozens of Wi-Fi signals over 1/2 mile away!

Not sure how much range you're looking for -- it's not that far -- I have a Netgear Router as well and it works well with that== range up to 50 feet and through several walls and a garage

I received a good signal from 200 yards away. The Alfa was mounted on a 10 ft pole with several trees and a building between the Alfa and the signal source. The source was an average router without any range extender or signal booster. The signal never dropped out for the 3 days (and nights) I used it. I think this is a good piece of equipment for my needs, especially since it was made for marine use (on a boat mast at sea with flat surface). You know, line of sight operation.

Im using a 25 ft and 10 ft cable and it works fine. I honestly dont know about 50ft

The stated range is 600 feet. I never tested it over 300 feet. After three months with the product my range had decreased to less than 100 feet. I would recommend it for in-yard use. I ended up replacing it with a similar offering from dogtra.

My husband believes it's 50 or 60 feet. Let me preface that to say that we have to go through our house and garage with a lot of metal between both. That tends to disrupt other wireless products we've used and made them almost useless. This works fine, so I don't really know if this answer helps or not. There is no "line of sight" between the transmitter and receiver for us.

My estimate is about 50 feet but the signal strength falls off quite dramatically at that distance. In our 3,800 sqft house there are areas where I have no signal. The house has 3 levels with all 9' ceilings. I will be installing a range extender. The router works otherwise quite well!

I haven't used it with the desktop just my laptop, however the range that i have tested at so far is about 7 feet.

I'm not sure of the range, but with the power output adjustments, and proper location of the transmitter (relatively high location reference to the receivers) I think you will obtain 100 feet with no problem.

I have tested the range, and it works very well at long-distance. I can't ever see it not work, because by that time I'm too far away to see the screen. I'd say the range max is probably 35 feet.

When it worked properly, it extended the range about 50 feet. However, it regularly dropped its connection to the router. I ended up giving mine away.

Dont know d max range but definitely more than 30ft. Factors to consider are walls n elevation.
