With a wireless network, how far will the signal reach?
Generally, wireless networking equipment has a range of up to 200 feet indoors and 1,000 feet outdoors. It will even penetrate most walls, so you can have devices in different rooms and on different floors and still stay connected to the network. This means you can take wireless equipped laptops almost anywhere in your home. The wireless router typically will go through two to three walls before you lose connectivity. If you have a large home, or a home with thick or dense walls, it is suggested that you place the wireless router in a high, central location. If you want network access outside, it is suggested that you place the wireless router near a window. Try to keep the wireless router away from any large metal objects because these will hinder its range.
