*The maximum distance or range that the range extender has depends on the technology that the device is using.  Since the RE4000W supports Wireless-N, -G, and -B standards, its maximum range is similar to the one used by the most recent Wireless-N standard which is 300 m or 1000 ft.

NOTE:  The maximum distance/range is only achieved if the device is set up in an environment that is devoid of any interference.  The router being used with the extender can also affect the range that it can provide.  For example, using RE4000W with a Wireless-G router would make the extender operate on a Wireless-G speed.
