Can a router at a garage reach the house?

Question

I have been planning on buying a router so I can use the internet at my house and at the garage, but since it is far from the garage to my room i don't know if it will reach...

Answer 1

Yes.
2 possible ways to connect: Via Lan and wireless

Via LAN:

As long as the cable from the router to garage is less then a 100 meters.

The CAT5 cable commonly used for lan connection has a typical signal limit of 100 meters. Beyond that then the signal will be weak and unrealiable. Thus it is suggested to limit your connection to this lenght.

Note that it is the lenght of the cable not the physical distance of your house and garage.

Via Wireless:

Depending on the wireless device, the signal strength will vary with materials between devices, interference with other electrical devices and frequency.

Ideally, set the wireless device with a line-of-sight (can be seen) to your computer. Make sure no motor devices that will interfere with the signal.

All in all: You can use internet at your house and garage with the proper device and placement

Answer 2

most wireless routers have a good range. And you can change the channel on it to help pick up better in the room you want it in. Now do know that lotttttssss of things can interfer with wireless signals so just because you have one doesnt mean you will get the signal. Microwaves, television, radios, steel are all things that can interfer with the signal of wireless routers, heck when I was doing tech help I even had a lady who's wireless signal went down for 5 minutes everyday when the street light outside the room she had the router in came on everyday. So just know that it should reach but we cant be 100% positive it will just buy it somewhere that will take it back if it doesn't.

Answer 3

Yes if u have a wireless Router, u can definately access the network at your home. for best quality of network , make sure the Garage is not more than 100 Meters away from home.. its again depends on your Wireless router.

Answer 4

Maybe be a little more descritive and you could get a sensible answer. EG, how far is it too your house from your garage. Technically speaking, a router will not help you, but your device will be a router, switch (maybe) and wireless access point combined. So as your questions stands, you aint got a f*#king hope in hell.

Answer 5

some homes have foil overlaying on the insulation and/or domicile wiring that could be growing to be a "shadow" on the signal. try transferring the router some ft to at least one part or the different, or up or down from the position it at present sits. If that would not paintings, try laying the antennas down so that they aspect horizontally interior a similar course. If the receiving end has an antenna which will be orientated horizontally, try this besides.

Answer 6

Well it depends what's in between the router and your computer... if theres a brick wall, a car, few wood walls, then its definately going to have some interference. iIf its just a few wood walls then you're fine... if it doesnt work then just get one of these plug in things... you plug it into the wall and it grabs all wifi signal and amplifies it, so you put it at the edge of the router coverage and it makes its own cloud of wireless internet.. hard to explain but it works

Answer 7

you can go up to 300 feet, it should reach

Answer 8
