Will the signal go thru the wall if the reciver is in the attic and mouse in the living room. Not long distance and only sheetrock walls

I would think it should if the distance isn't that far. The signal is radio, not line of sight.

Yes...it will not work through walls. Anything will impede that range such as being in a pocketbook, in a drawer, etc.

I believe so. the receiver antenna will supply a hard wired Ethernet jack/signal. you can simply connect a wifi router or access point and broadcast that wifi signal in the remote area.

Richard,I am pleased with the unit and can pick up signal approx 50 metres away. Live in a 3 bedroom unit and never have a problemGood luck

Depends on your signal strength which is based on two factors: (1) how far away you are from the transmitter(s) (2) the amount of line of sight obstructions (the attic would count as one). There are web sites and smart-phone apps that can help you figure this out based on your location. Other alternative is to experiment and see what happens. As someone noted, some channels may come in when others don't so there is no simple answer to your question.

My sending unit is mounted on a pole approximately 400ft from my house. To get to the receiver the signal must pass through 4 walls. It works fine under those conditions.

Yes it does. The transmitter's signal goes both through the outside wall and inside walls.

It depends on the ceiling construction, but the range is pretty good. I have two of these in an old plaster house and the receiver unit is completely above the plaster ceiling and they both work anywhere within the room, and anywhere in the adjacent room that is within line of site of the doorway. They do not reliably function through a plaster wall.

It depends on the density and material of the wall, but I would say yes about 10 to 20%. If you want extreme signal range you can try an Amped Wireless repeater. Because of these antennae my parents can get a 2 to 3 bar signal outside their house 450 feet away. I installed the amped wireless repeater in their house and their speeds match mine with no real change in dropped packets. Mount your router about 4 foot off the ground, I got a cheap $15 wall shelf at. Walmart. Good luck hope this helps!

it depends how far apart the houses are and the house that is not hooked up direct will have a weeker signal

We found it to not pick up a signal when we were nowhere near 1000 feet away from our house; more like only about 200' away. Big disappointment. It wouldn't pick up the signal from our house when I was just across the street in our neighbor's house, and you lose reception even faster if you have a more solid wall like plaster or brick instead of drywall. We live in a city so not sure if there were other interfering signals from home wireless networks or radio.

signal strength, yes, on the same floor. wall penetration for upper floors not really. at least in my house. i have brick walls and concrete floors.

I have had mine as far as 30-40 feet, with no problems in reception? So yes, it should be no problem. Walls, etc. could shorten that length, but I had a few walls separating the signal from the phones, when I was 30-40 feet away, in my house and had no problems with reception. Your house could be different, depending on thickness of walls, emi, etc.

Line of sight definately helps. You can set it up horizontal or vertical and get a little wiggle room with the signal. I've set up one at 3\4 of a mile and some trees and it gets 90% signal strength. The other is about 500 yards and gets 99% and it goes through a building external wall too.

Sounds like you've talked to someone that doesn't understand radio waves. No, windows will not break the signal. If you live in an apartment or close to others using similar devices, you may get interference from their devices. The only way I could see windows "breaking" the signal, would be because of the lack of solid walls with wires and foil insulation, you could get crossover or interference. But that is not a common problem at all. Get them and enjoy the music.

Yes. Make sure when you are adjusting the sender and receiver that you are not standing in the path of the signal, or you will create such interference and signal deterioration that you may think the device is not working. It will go through walls and ceilings, but not through people.

Reception distance varies with number of walls it is going through. Not very strong signal after 50-75 feet.
