Hi Stacey, Not too bad.
One thing about the router: try to have it sitting in the clear and away from other things, especially metal objects and general desk clutter. I have mine setting on a high shelf of my desk and the range is quite good. At first I had it setting down at the main desk level and found that the range was really quite poor as there were wires and such very close to the antenna, and it was kind of behind other components. So, if you find it doesn't have the range you think it should, try moving things around. Finally make sure the antenna or antennas are in a vertical position. It can take some experimentation, but once you get the range you want, you can then just forget about it.
