milchama Posted August 30, 2005 CID Share Posted August 30, 2005 Wireless G can go far but things like walls Water tanks (water heaters and large aquariums) and other wirelss products can effect range. Pre N or MIMO has the greatest range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted August 30, 2005 CID Share Posted August 30, 2005 you can put a better antenna on it and the range will improve!! Pre-N does have the best range right now.. but it still it is PRE-n.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Matter Posted August 30, 2005 CID Share Posted August 30, 2005 I know with my wireless G network i can sit out in my car with my laptop and still get 60% signal stength, and 64% link quality. Thats atleast 175 feet from my door to my car with no booster. DLINK Wireless G Router ofcourse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted August 30, 2005 CID Share Posted August 30, 2005 yeah i would be safe to say that you can get 75-150 ft indoors that is what it required to get the 802.11b/g rating.. assuming that you dont have any major no-nos.. If are in an open space it is possible to cover 1000 sq. ft. just depends on the application of the network.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbaker397 Posted August 30, 2005 CID Share Posted August 30, 2005 With my Linksys WRT54G router, i cant even go upstairs in my new house, but I think thats caused by the 3/4" steel plates in between the floors. but otherwise in the old house, maybe 75 feet max and still connect.
