What is the best wireless router on the market that can reach the farthest distance?

Looking for a really good wireless router that can reach up to a mile away with a good signal still. I don't even know if this is possible.|||Wifi is not designed for that kind of distance. It is purposely designed as a low power system with limited range so that many transmitters and receivers may be used in the same general area and not interfere with each other.


There is no Wifi router on the market that meets your requirements.





If you wish to discuss this project further, you will need to re-post with more specific details of what you are trying to do.





Sorry|||Not possible without external antennas, maybe amplifiers, and you would have to have line-of-sight between the 2 antennas (sites)





Only if you have clear line of sight, you can consider external antennas or access points, set up in bridging mode. That bridges the network as one "virtual" network. I use these, though I only go 400 feet:

They have higher power. As well, that vendor has some external antenna/AP combinations, that eliminates the coax cable requirements (fed by power over ethernet cable).





If you don't have line of sight, simply forget it...|||distance it can reach depends on antenna %26amp; wifi card..sooo depends which wifi card u buy...n abt antenna..

How to set up a wireless router to a ethernet wall socket?

Ok. i moved into an apartment that offers free internet. there is no modem just a wall socket to connect an ethernet cable, thats what i'm on now. but i want to connect a wireless linksys router to it so i can go wireless on my laptop. i assume this connection is coming from a network as it is, so one concern that i have is, will my ip address change all the time and will it affect my wireless conection? and also how do i go about setting up my router?|||Well this can get a little into networking but that is not a major issue. Simply connect your computer to the outlet first, see what IP is being issued. (Click start ---%26gt;Run---%26gt;type cmd in the run line type ipconfig /all) write down the IP and gateway.





Plug your computer into the router and log on to it locally. Set it to obtain the IP automatically from the WAN/Internet. Then setup the DHCP (local settings) to use SOME OTHER IP RANGE than that issued to your computer when you connected directly.





IE if your computer shows something like.


IP 192.168.0.xx and the gateway is 192.168.0.1 or


IP 10.0.0.xx and gateway is 10.0.0.1


then set your routers DHCP range to say 192.168.1.xx just do not use the same IP ranges within both!





Once you have setup a diferent range of IP's for YOUR network just connect the cable from the etihernet port for your apartment to the WAN/Internet port of your router and you should be good to go.





This will give you another network within your apartment and will isolate your machines from the apartments network. You really don't care if the IP changes on the apartments system as long as it connects to the internet you will connect.


Works great I have done this in numerous situations.

But yes. you can buy a wireless router.... It might cost you about 60 dollers or so.|||Generally speaking yes, all you have to do is get a netgear wireless router or similar and connect it to power and connect it to the ethernet. When people get broadband in their homes they basically get what you have right now..........ethernet in the form of a modem. But most of the time they will also install and give you a wireless router which just connects to the ethernet. Just make sure you get the right router, one that just needs ethernet attachment.





However keep in mind you might still have some problems if the internet is secured, also it will not make your connection any faster and you will likely be sharing it with nearby roommates who pick up on your wireless.

How many computers can connect to a wireless router?

I am looking at buying a wireless router mainly for playing multiplayer games between my PC and laptop. I want one that I can use in the future for broadband + more computers.


What feature on a wireless router decides how many computer can connect to it?





Thanks.|||Most machines use something called DHCP (Dynamic Host Connection Protocol) to hand out IP addresses. Typically home routers are configured to allow about 250 machines available to connect.





In practice, you need to figure out how much bandwidth one player uses, and then figure out how much bandwidth is available from your Internet Service Provider. Divide, and you will see how many players can co-exist on a wireless router without degradation.|||You can connect any amount of computers, but you should remember, that you lower general Internet speed and get worse quality of connection. Besides, your speed doesn't share in equal parts.So it is better to limit computers.http://www.pissedconsumer.com/consumer-reviews/accessories-and-programs.htm

|||I don't think there is a limit on the number of connections, but the internet speed drops as it switches from one to the next. Faster speed wireless would help and so would the internet speed from the provider. There is a limit of receiving speed on each PC also.

i just got xbox live and i am trying to connect my wireless router to my main router so i dont need to be constantly moving my router.

Is there a Wireless Router that you can plug up an Alltel Wireless Device too?

I have heard about Wireless Routers that you can do this. But I don't know if it is true because I tried to find them online. Can anyone help me? Supposedly you can plug it up to a Router and your whole house can get internet from that one. X-Box 360, Wii, and any other Wireless computers are supposedly able to pick it up if you have this Router.|||I don't know about Alltel, but the other major wireless carriers have a mobile hotspot device. It doesn't allow you to "plug up" a normal broadband modem to it; rather there is a broadband modem built into the device. Currently, you can connect up to five wifi devices to it.





That closest resembles what you're asking for. There is nothing that exists which match your exact description.|||i've been in this situation with an alltel phone n it sucks i no. i wanted to use other computers with the same phone. there is a solution. you need to hook the device to your computer and buy online a router that plugs into your usb. it uses the computer to get the internet and broadcasts it as a wifi signal

Most routers are preconfigured and work as soon as they are plugged in.





Plug in, all cables and power up and after a few minutes it should work, but do check the instructions if the router has been supplied by an ISP as they often provide special services which require extra drivers or software.

How do I set up a second wireless router in my home?

My family has one wireless router upstairs, but it doesn't really reach the basement very well in order to allow me to play Xbox Live. So now I have a 2nd router (Not wireless) and I plan on setting that up in the basement and connecting it to my Xbox via Ethernet. So how do I do this? I have already tried just plugging it all in and turning it on.|||No, you really can't do that. There has to be only one gateway system for your internal internet to access the outside world, and all traffic flows through that gateway. In your house, that's the wireless router. Unfortunately, wireless signals don't flow all that well vertically, which is why basement reception is so poor.





What you need is something called a repeater, also known as a range expander. You configure it and then plug it somewhere midway between the router and the basement. The repeater picks up the wireless signal, cleans it up and boosts it, and then retransmits it so you will get better reception in the basement.





We have exactly the same situation in our house, wireless upstairs and PS3 in basement, and the repeater has made an enormous difference.|||you could tap into the back of the first router or if u have a jack downstairs just plug it in there(only if your house is wired) if not try to call you cable/internet service and see what they can do
