This device probably has the best range of any consumer grade Wi-Fi access point/router I have ever used. But, this question cannot really be answered because it depends on so many variables ( whether it is 2.5GHz or 5GHz; whether there is contention for the same bandwidth with other Wi-Fi or consumer electronics; whether the signal is line-of-sight or will have to go through walls, floors and ceilings, etc.; the quality and capabilities of the wireless adapters used to connect to the Wi-Fi, etc.; way too many factors to list. ) But, what I can tell is this... 1) Standing halfway between my AT&T U-Verse Gateway and this Netgear EAX20-100NAS device, with line-of-sight to both devices, this Netgear device has about 12dB higher signal strength on the 2.4GHz spectrum than the AT&T Gateway. 2) Standing on the sidewalk in front of my neighbors house, this Netgear device still has about 5dB better signal strength than my neighbor's Wi-Fi dervice from Comcast. 3) I can see 7 other Wi-Fi's networks from my house, and they appear to all be set to auto select their channels. All 7 of them have chosen to select channels that compete with each other, and not one of them has chosen to overlap with this Netgear. That says alot about the signal strength of this device!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
