You can find those distances in your ComputerCraft config file. C:\Users\<Your Name>\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\config\ComputerCraft.cfg

They should look like this:

# The range of Wireless Modems at low altitude in clear weather, in meters
    I:modem_range=64
# The range of Wireless Modems at low altitude in stormy weather, in meters
    I:modem_rangeDuringStorm=16

Also if you're using the new version of ComputerCraft there are extra variables you can set for the distance, which have to do with the height the computer is placed at…



# The range of Wireless Modems at maximum altitude in clear weather, in meters
I:modem_highAltitudeRange=384

# The range of Wireless Modems at maximum altitude in stormy weather, in meters
I:modem_highAltitudeRangeDuringStorm=64

# The range of Wireless Modems at low altitude in clear weather, in meters
I:modem_range=64

# The range of Wireless Modems at low altitude in stormy weather, in meters
I:modem_rangeDuringStorm=16
