Title: Disappointing Range
Review: Somehow the Ethernet cable running about 150' from my office to my house got cut (maybe a squirell, because they once chewed on the main cable line, stopping all reception)and I decided to do it all wirelessly. I had already bought a new Linksys wired router to accomodate my office Vista computer, but the wireless ones in the house couldn't connect, even though they showed 2 green bars. Linksys figured out that my old wireless router was gone, and since it was 3 years old and out of warranty anyway, they suggested a new one. I specifically asked the range of this one; they specifically said that it was up to 300', with 150' optimum. BULL!!! It won't go more than about 75', and that is straight line-of-sight without any blockages. I have now gone for a "range extender" which may do the trick. If it doesn't, it's back to a long Ethernet cable, and this time I'll run it through PVC pipe, and use the wireless router inside the house only.
Is the review positive or negative?
