RE: Netgear Access Point Range

["BUTLER, Tony, FM" <tony.butler@xxxxxxx>]

My WAP11 is downstairs in a cupboard.  I am about 10 feet from it horizontally and whatever a standard ground floor height vertically.

I get about 25% signal strength and without moving the devices/changing any config etc , have had signals vary from 11mb down to 2 mb/sec last night, ususalyl varying between 11 and 5.

I dread to think what would happen if I went outside with this!

60' & 3 walls seems reasonable for you though - think about poor me :)

I use a Netgear wireless access point, and have been very disappointed with the poor range that I get from it. From about 60 feet away, through 3 walls I get a 2Mbp connection. 

 

Should I be regarding this as normal ? If its not normal what factors are likely to effect the range (other than walls - can't do much about them) If it is normal does anyone know who provides antennas for the Netgear (rather than using Pringle cans)

 

Thanks,

 

Mark
