Depends. 802.11b has a longer range but less speed than 802.11g, however 802.11n(draft) has a longer range and higher bandwidth than both 802.11b and 802.11g.

It also depends on the antennae.

Also, is the signal going to go through a wall? I have spoken to many people who think that signal can go up the stairs, they're wrong. Signal, is radiated from the antennae, usually in all directions, BUT it always goes straight. If you've got bad signal, try moving the router and adjusting the antennae for optimum signal.

How far can you be from a router for a ipod touch to still work Will a Nintendo WiFi usb adapter allow me to get on the ipod's internet?

That depends on the type of router, etc, etc. Every router works different. The type of router you have will help determine how far away you can be. The N1 seems to be the best router, reception wise and speed wise. Your best bet is to be in the same house, and MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SECURED CONNECTION!!!!!!!!! You will never forgive yourself if someone was able to get onto your Internet connection and go to forbidden sites. No matter what, you will get the blame.


How far away will a router pick up Wi fi?

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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Wireless Router N?

Wireless routers connect to the modem through an Ethernet cable and also use a power cord to power the device. The Internet runs through the modem into the router. The router transfers the Internet into WiFi signals that the wireless receiver catches and transfers to the computer. Wireless routers have various signal strengths. The signal strength determines how far you can be from the router and still receive a WiFi signal. the N router transmits a strong signal that can reach throughout your house.
