That depends on the frequency / protocol and many thing that could interfere in your home.  
It just complies to the regulations (like FCC) for the acceptable transmit power and interferences.

So there is no single correct answer to your question.

thanks for the answer  
i expected there to be no real answer. are there no reports with optimal values?

Look at the specs of the bridge.

Antennas don’t have a range, it all comes down to transmission power, receiver sensitivity, interference, losses, etc.

Why are you asking?

That’s very likely caused by something else. You don’t mention the brand, but others have had issues with Aqara sensors that suddenly stop updating. Also, assuming they are Zigbee or Z-Wave, the stability of your devices depends on how well your Zigbee/Z-Wave network is set up.

The Aqara sensors can be difficult, especially with Homey, and they don’t always work well with other brands (some people have noticed that they don’t work very well with some IKEA lights, for example).

Since it’s very likely not a bug in the Aqara app, you have to wait for Athom to acknowledge that there might be a problem, which might never happen, so best bet is probably to replace them.
