how far will it work from the dongle?

in case the dongle is too far from your keyboard(e.g, Desktop users), Logitech provides usb range expand tool.

Mine has issues at around 6ft, even when the energy reserve says it's high.

A good ways away ! I just walked 30 feet one way and 25 feet with 2 walls between the rooms and it recorded my typing.

Not sure on the exact distance limitation but I just walked about ten feet away and it still worked, then I went into another room and still worked with a wall in the way. So if you're thinking about using it with a media center from across the living room, you should be fine.

I've never really tested how 'far' it can be from the laptop. I take my mouse around with me at work with my laptop and it can be about a foot or so away.

My dongle is the 150Mps USB wireless Dongle(8188cus) like the one on the picture. Identifies itself as: Realtek RTL8188CU wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter. Search for drivers via Google.Mine do not work in win8(64bit) but works fine on win7.

Decent range although you need to consider walls and other obstructions between wherever you have the dongle plugged in and where you want to go. I was able to go to the kitchen and outside and the patio to a point. Just be gentle with the frame :) I was relatively happy with it.

You will need a bridge and wired connect to that bridge. It doesn't support usb dongle like windows/ios

No it won't. This dongle has a small and very simple audio card inside and the connector is a 3.5mm headphone jack. What you can do is connect a headphone that has mic on it (most of new headphones designed to connect to smart phones have this) to your computer.

I've been using it a few feet away, with no problems but then I've got the dongle on a USB extension cord. Reading some reviews, I wonder if the problem could be in having the dongle plugged in right on the board and it picks up interference thus limiting the range.

As long as your monitor has a USB input, and there is a clear unhindered line of sight between the dongle and the receiver unit, it should work. I mean, what is a computer monitor these days, but a smaller television with fewer inputs? But I cannot emphasize enough that this is a very picky and temperamental technology, and I'm not kidding about unhindered line of sight.

I haven't used it with the desktop just my laptop, however the range that i have tested at so far is about 7 feet.

Yes. Just plug the dongle into a usb port and follow the instructions to set it up.

It shouldn't be a problem. I just tested mine for you and it works upto 24 ft. with the usb receiver in the back of the PC! If you use the remote receiver cord so the receiver can face the front, it should be even better.PC

It works, but needs the dongle to work. Shouldn't be a problem unless you want it to work with more then one device at a time.

when you hook it up and put in the dongle it shoulds go out and find it on its own...put since you played with it, not sure what you can do now...

A standard 2.4 Ghz RF device has a range of 10 meters or about 33ft. This range can be affected by electrical interference or line of site loss, but those are issues you can account for during setup. To be comfortable I'd suggest being no more than 25' from the USB receiver.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "remote dongle". This will work with IR remotes, so if you have an older IR remote meant to be used with the PC, this should work. Ironically, it does not work well with genuine Windows Media Center or XBox media remotes.

I get 300 Mbps, but this depends on the distance from the WiFi and the WiFi router. I am line of sight, with about 30 ft distance. One trick I had to do is locate the dongle at the end of an extension USB cable, away from the computer, otherwise the connection would be rather poor.

if you have a long usb cable you can be ten feet or so away. the wireless usb doesn't work.
