We have a very large home and my husband's gaming system is downstairs and on the opposite end of the house. He has had no problems.

My iphone stays attached well over 100 feet into the yard, so unless there is something interfering with the signal I would say yes.

redlfnt · Answer

Maybe. It depends on too many factors but I get a good signal with mine at about 50 feet through multiple interior and exterior walls. I'm sure you could return it if it doesn't give you the range you need.

No way, I have Guest suite above my garage and it is about 75 feet away from router and barely gets any coverage.

jimmypos · Answer

Probably yes, but you may want to go with a more powerful router for sustained success

Our signal reaches out to the detached garage about 75 feet from the unit in the house. My cell phone sees the network when I turn into the driveway - about 100 ft from unit.

You may have to add an extender unit. Linksys has a good one.

Julz · Answer

Yes...the router works a great distance...I was in my car and almost to the corner and still had a signal.

I have the Linksys EA6900. The signal goes through the house (24 feet) including 2 interior and 1 exterior walls, then to a shop 280 feet away. I have an older EnGenius EOC-2610 mounted on a pole outside the shop to receive the signal and feed it to a switch, and the signal is fine.
You might consider some of the Ethernet-over-powerline devices, but read the reviews for the one you consider first.

The box will give you a good idea of the range of the routers. I've always used Linksys and had pretty good luck. Just make sure you keep them in a well ventilated area.

I don't think it will get there it also depends on the device. Get a range extender for this situation.
