It depends on the strength of signal created, the obstructions between the transmitting device and the receiving device i.e.

thick stone walls in an old house will reduce signal capability even of 20 feet

How far does a Netgear nighthawk x6 wireless router reach?

The Netgear Nighthawk X6 wireless router typically has a range of up to 3,000 square feet, depending on various factors such as the layout of your home, obstructions like walls, and interference from other devices. It uses tri-band technology to provide strong coverage and maintain high speeds across multiple devices. For optimal performance, placing the router in a central location can help maximize its range.


How far will the netgear router reach?

You are a little bit confused so let me make the record straight. Your router picks up the Internet and sends it around wirelessly. Your Nintendo DS/DSI/Wii or computer uses the router to connect to the internet. This whole service is Wi-Fi. If you are asking "How far away can I be from the router to pick up Wi-Fi?", then it all depends on how well the router is. Note: If you are planning to connect to Wi-Fi using a Nintendo Wii/DS/DSI, make sure that you have a fast enough Internet connection and that your security setting on your router is set to "WEP" security. Broadband or higher is required for these systems and If you get your Internet through a cable service, you should be in good shape. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


What is the difference between access point and wireless bridge?

A wireless Access Point (AP) connects a group of wireless stations to an adjacent wired (Typically, Ethernet) LAN. An AP is like an Ethernet hub - except that a hub relays LAN frames only to other 802.3 stations, whereas an AP relays 802.11 frames to all other 802.11 or 802.3 stations in the same subnet. (In English: "it allows communication between wired and wireless..") A wireless router connects a group of wireless stations to an adjacent wired (Typically, Ethernet) LAN. A wireless router is a wireless AP combined with an Ethernet router. A wireless router forwards IP packets between your wireless subnet and any other subnet. Most routers also have a built-in firewall, and built-in Ethernet ports. (In English: same as an AP, but you can network different subnets or networks (Example: your home network and the Internet [Modem also required typically!] )

If you have a wireless 3G broadband router connected at home how far from home can a laptop connect to the internet via this router?

I can get 125 feet outside of my house and still connect to my 3G enabled router. I got additional range by locating the router upstairs in the house. The router uses a Sprint 3G USB modem that can be removed and used directly in a laptop if you want mobility.


Which wireless router should you get if you are an online gamer and the router will be installed about 200 feet away?

Two hundred feet is a bit much, especially since the router will be in your house, so there won't be an unobstructed line of sight between your game console or computer and the wireless hub. The most popular brands are Linksys and Netgear. I think the other manufacturers are second-rate. I have a Linksys wireless-G unit in my home, and the longest straight-line run is from the router in the front room on deck one to my daughter's room in the back on the second deck, maybe 60 feet. (I'll have to calculate that.) The signal strength is good, not excellent, but the throughput is still good. I recall reading a review of a Netgear model with a long range. I read it on PCMAG.com. It got an Editor's Choice, as I recall. Don't remember the model number. I don't think it was tested at 200 feet, though. If I recall, PCMAG tests up to 150 feet. You may be too far for even the best wireless hubs or access points.


Why would you be having problems with a laptop wireless connection upstairs when the router is only about 40 feet away downstairs?

The signal getsweaker the further away you go from a router or hub, and the signals do weaken subastantially when they go through walls and floors. Try setting your WAP / AP (wireless access point / access point ) antennas at a 45 degree angle to allow more of the wireless frequencies to go in a vertical ( up / down ) direction.
