What kind of range can I expect from my WiFi connection?
Ranges vary of course, but with an uninterrupted line of sight and ideal conditions, 802.11b and 802.11g can both be expected to reach about 300 feet, with 802.11b going a little further, sometimes up to 500 feet. This is assuming you are using the standard antennae that come with most WiFi equipment. Most stock antennae are between 3 and 5dbi. Your range will of course go up if you use a higher gain antenna.
