I run Computercraft on a Server with a friend.
We use some programs that working with wireless modems but our problem is that the signal of the modems aren't reach anywhere where we want.

So if someone know how to make the range infinite it would be very nice to let me know how.

I say already thanks for help

(sorry for bad english it isn't my main language)

Go to your .minecraft folder, open the config folder, then open the ComputerCraft.cfg file. The full path for me using win8 is: "C:\Users\Benedict\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\config\ComputerCraft.cfg"

This is the section you will want to change:

Spoiler


    # 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=96
    # 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

It's fairly obvious what they mean, particularly with the descriptions. Change them, then restart minecraft to see the effect.

Yes, last time I've checked the source code, the max range is hardcoded at 100 000 blocks.
