how far will it reach for wifi, in feet?
1806213
In testing the unit in the field with a 15" laptop and Samsung Galaxy S4 cell phone, we have received a usable signal (stronger than -80dBi) line-of-site range of about 800 foot radius. We have deployed units indoors, usable signal through four drywall walls was about 200 foot radius.

It is hard to say exactly in feet. What I can tell you is that I live in a cul-de-sac. I can get Wi-Fi from three houses away. If I am at my neighbors house two houses down I can be inside of their house connected to my Wi-Fi. If you have a standard size home of 3000 to 4000 ft.² I can pretty much guarantee this will cover the entire thing. Unless it is made out of metal. This is my first "commercial" type router and I am 100% satisfied with it and I don't think you would be disappointed. Prior to this my Netgear router and Netgear range extender had several dead spots in my house I don't have any dead spots. It is hard to say exactly in feet.

This unit needs to be located where it can detect a 70% signal strength from the router. Since WIFI is environmental result will be different. Typically though you can set this about 30-40 feet from the router and it will connect.

Actually I am not quite sure. Ours is about 6 meters from the router, around a corner and it works just fine.

I cannot tell you the exact range, but in the open, it is a lot farther than I feel comfortable flying it. It is so far away that I cannot tell the "front" from the "back". I have flown the wifi out of range. I cannot tell you the range. I would think that the specs they give on the website are very close.Mike

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 didn't measure the exact length but should be around 25 feet. I was able to leave the microcell next to my wifi and extended the antenna to my window 15 feet away.

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.

"Feet of range" would be a specification that would only be useful in open air - no buildings, no walls, no vehicles, no power lines, etc. And we usually don't use these types of devices in those conditions. Furthermore, range depends on both the router and the device at the other end - antenna design in the other device matters tremendously. For practical applications, you have to worry about how many walls might be between the router and the other device, what type of insulation is installed in those walls, whether it has a foil vapor barrier, where the large appliances are located in the house, where the power wiring and plumbing are run in the walls and floors, and how much concrete there might be between the router and the other device.

i have used it about 12 feet away and it worked fine. It will go further then that.

Well, the specs sheet says 450 feet (outdoors or unimpeded). We haven't really tested this much since our house isn't very large. When indoors the effective range will obviously be reduced.

Maybe if it's no longer than that. Mine was about 20 feet away and it keep dropping the Wi-Fi at night. The next morning I would have to unplug it and plug it back in to work.

The AE6000 can only connect to a wireless signal 300 feet away in a perfect environment. It was not designed to go that far.

I cannot give an answer to maximum range, but mine will go at least 150 feet.

I don't know the exact specifics, but I can get almost 150 more feet of WiFi with this on my patio. It works well.

My device is in the middle of my house. I would say about 25 feet is the effective range

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.

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.
