    Wireless network range

    What is the range (how far they can be apart) of wireless network cards/routers?

    Thanks

    They say up to 1000 feet but that's open field and at 1mb. on an average in house install your looking at MAYBE 100-150 feet. If you get a linksys ap ap/router you can get their signal booster (but at that price you might just as well get another ap and place it on the other side of the house/building).

    The only sure way is to try one !

    It really does depend on just what's inbetween, its very rare for me to get more than 50ft out of most (then again most British houses are stone or brick built, which impacts 'muchly') ... I have had well over 300ft (from my loft to my garage - yet downstairs in my 'old' house it won't always get from one room to another)

    Halogen lights muck mine up - don't think hubby will like me suggesting we change the lounge lighting just 'cos the signal is a bit poor....
