Heya,

I am thinking of buying one of those Nintendo WiFi dongles so I can play games over the net. Before I do though, does anyone know what the access range is for one of those dongles? ie. How far away can I be from the dongle before it cuts? The reason is, my room is at the back of my house and my study (computer) is at the front and I don't want to buy it and find out the access point won't reach my room.

Cheers!

you could always buy a 5m usb extension cable and plug the dongle into it, that should give you the extra range you need

Alright, since no one knew the answer.. I decided to go out and buy one.

I tested it, the range is around 10metres.. not far at all.

the nintendo wi-fi usb connector will give u about 15 feet. not very far at all, i kno, but a linksys 7320, a 50 dollar wireless router will give u a much better wi-fi experience and ranges through walls and cielings, up to 35 feet. for 15-16 more dollars, it's worth it.
