Has there been any issues with poor range between the wireless connections from base unit to thermostat?. I have a large house.

I live in a house built in 1920 with thick plaster walls. The HVAC system is in the basement where the base station is installed and the thermostat doesn't lose connection in any room on the second floor.

MY house is about 1900 Sq ft. (not including the basement) the thermostat is on the top floor and never had a problem. WE use it as a portable but really it stays in one place.

Range is good up to 30 feet in my house, and works through walls at that range as well. I read the complaints as well and found out that it was the first model they made that had range issues.

Doesn't match my experience. I get reliable connectivity out to 15 feet . Might have a bad unit.

I can't help you with that question, I return to mine because the range was very poor would not connect across the room.

I cannot answer that question, but will say I have been having more problems with mine besides the range. It seems devices that spend extended time in the area that is almost in range loose connectability when brought into range. Other devices move in and out of range with no issues. Sorry I could not help.

My remote works approximately 100' from the unit. If you are getting significantly less then that, you may have some RF shielding close to the unit. Move the unit away from any large or metal grounded structures or equipment such as metal garage doors, water heaters, HVAC units, etc.

I actually have my router on the far end of the house. I don't have any issues whatsoever in the house and get full through put of my speed. I have had it several months now and LOVE it. Best router I have ever had. As I said....range has not been an issue and in fact my neighbor has complained that he gets a better signal from my wi-fi than his own in his house. LOL. Hope that helps.

I sent mine back. I couldn't get it to connect to the remote unit. I have dealt with wireless networks for work and home for years and found this to be not reliable or easy to use.

I live in a 1700 square foot home and we are very satisfied with wifi coverage. I have been able to pick up a signal from across the street but it is not what I call reliable. Ours is a one story house, but I would assume that if there were another floor the coverage would be adequate. Please be advised that you will occasionally lose your connection to the primary computer you have connected to. I have lost mine, every week or so. My solution is to connect that computer with ethernet cable until the wifi connection is restored. It seems to be able to do that by itself but it might take the better part of a day. I can reconnect by powering down the modem and then restart, but that is not always reliable either. This only seems to happen with the primary computer, my other computers do not seem to be affected by this.

Does not have to be to be close. My router is downstairs and I have it connected on the second story bedroom. You could always try using a wifi repeater if you are getting interference.

I have mine set about 40 and 50 ft from receiver, both of which are transmitting through one exterior wall and 1 or 2 interior framed walls, with the receiver near mid point, and no problems after a couple of months. As others stated, the update is not immediate, so give it a while for the initial reading. Also, if you move the sensors, I found it helpful to take the batteries out of everything and start again - only takes a couple of minutes and gives some peace of mind. I think without heavily insulated walls, the range is probably more but have no proof.

I'm not an electrician but the thermostat is NOT wireless so I would imagine it wouldn't matter how far away it is as long as it's wired to the heater.

Yes. It will re-establish connection due to loss of router signal or power failure. I've had power failures, and reset my router as well. Each time the thermostat reconnects automatically and has never had a problem.

I know of no range extender....as for a solution.....my only suggestion is to remove the unit off your heating unit in the basement and have an HVAC professional hard ware it on the first floor or call and talk to a tech at Honeywell....sorry i guess thats not much help...Good luck

My wifi is located downstairs and the kids can be upstairs on the other side of the house with no problems. haven't tested exactly how far they can go, but hope this helps!

We have not had any problems with static from the wireless network or anything else. We have had two of them going at the same time for several months now. That is definaltey not a complaint I have.

Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up. I didn't experience any of the problems I thought possible. I have a portable phone, wirelee PC, wireless printer, wireless sub & my wireless router (all within about 4 feet of each other). I haven't had any issues whatsoever with any of piece of equipment, so far. Currently the TV is connected to the net with an ethernet cable to the router, so I don't know if I ever go wireless with the TV connection, if it will present a problem.I did notice, somewhere in one of the manuals, that if a channel conflict were detected it would look for a clearer one. Again, I'm happy as can be with all facets of this setup. The TV & soundbar are unbelievable! Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up.
