Long Range Wireless Router??

alirob12

Hi I currenlty have a Pre-N range router, which gies me a nice and long signal. It has started playing up so i need to replace it with one of at least the same signal strenght or better. Has anyone got a chart which shows what range belkin routers have? or do you know which one should i consider? Thank you

Thank you

Bought a D-link DIR855 router a few months ago which has great range and has not dropped off since I bought it. Very fast and backward compatible. Worth the extra money from the rubbish I had for 2 years (spent hours messing around each week sorting it out) Very easy to set up and works first time out of the box 5 out of 5 for this router

thank you

do you know how the range compares to the belkin one? i need to get through 2-3 solid walls and 50m outside?
thanks

belkin routers aren't up to much, better with D-Link, Netgear. Why hung up on belkin ???

Maybe work your way through Broadband Buyer's Router Finder Tool? What you want may cost more than you think!

If what you have maintains a signal through 3 solid walls then a further 50m outside I'd suggest you just buy a new one of those.

To be honest in my experience the wireless "range" of a router is more to do with environment, receiver and local interference than the router itself. Legally I think, in the UK routers should not exceed 100mW output power and I think all routers would be around this figure.

I myself use a Netgear DG834 v5. I can recieve a signal with my laptop in the neighbour's house across the road (60m). However I would guess that almost any router positioned similarly on the same channel would work too.

If you are at the limit of the range I would suggest you select a router with external antennae. If the signal turns out to be marginal you can attach a higher gain antenna.

yeah, either a high-gain aerial or a wireless access point used as a range extender. In fact a wap would be better as you could position it for optimum performance where you need it

for that sort of distance id look at Draytek
