How far will it transmit the signal? I would like to know if anyone has determined how far the the signal is transmitted?

I would guess no more than 20 feet. But it sounds strong in the car (maybe 5 feet from unit to stereo antenna).

Dear Donna. From my experience with this product so far, it does not work as advertised. I live in a hilly area, about 4 miles from a tower. I get average bars of signal at my house without the unit. The only thing the unit seems to boost is the Wi-Fi strength if my wireless internet in the house. It dies nit seem to boost my cell signal whatsoever. Sincerely, Ken W.

Mine works 20 to 25 ft. away. I have been very happy with it. You have to follow the initial calibration procedure exactly or the remote won't work properly or probably not at all. If I remember (?) the procedure included my other remote so they are calibrated together.

Juan...>I do not know of a distance limitation between the transmitter and receiver....the unit works very well....Jim

Sorry, I cannot help you with this, though I got it to work from about 8 feet away from my computer. Interference may be a separate issue.

I have used it up to about 15 ft as long as the receiver was pointed at the transmitter, the receiver is under the hood of my car so the signal is blocked some what.

I bought two units. The one I'm using at my house has worked flawlessly from about a hundred feet away over the last few months. However the one I purchased for my sister -in-law sits at a slight depresion down the hill from her house and only functions sporatically. It appears to be simply a matter of signal blockage. As someone else suggested, you might try extending the transmitting antenna outside the mailbox.

I get a pretty strong signal up to 50 feet. It's one of the best investments I've ever made. I love it! Hope this helps you with your decision to purchase one!

I am not sure on the distance limitations. I live in a 2200 square-foot two-story. The main unit is located in my basement and receiver is above it on the first floor. I have not had any problems with the signal. I have had it for over one year and I am still very pleased with it.

My antenna picks up signals from transmitters 50 miles away, but a friend picks up signals that are 90 miles away. We live where it is flat with no obstacles to block the signal.

reception seems to be 15 to 20 feet transmission 10 to 15. it varies with the quality of the transmission device on the receiving device but I would say 15 feet either way would be safe.

I have successfully used it over 300'. When setting up, it found dozens of Wi-Fi signals over 1/2 mile away! That being said, don't expect it to work that far. It puts out a strong signal and is visible hundreds of feet away. A smart phone just doesn't have the power to get signal TO the EnGenius. I know of an island in Maine 2 miles offshore with an EnGenius at each end pointed at each other. I choose this model because my IT guy at work recommended. After being a heavy PC user since DOS 3.1, I recently switched to MAC. Best thing I ever did.

i added it to my wifi and got more range, How far the range is not sure. I have a 3 story house and added it to get the wifi from the 3rd floor to my first. It worked for that. So i'll say at least. 50-60 ft. more range for me. I'm guessing that if the signal had to go over a flat area it might cover a larger area.

Mine is probably 40-50 yards away. I'm sure it will do much more than that with the right placement of the receiver. It has always worked great

My experience is that the sensor must be very close to the transmitted signal. My opinion is it would not work for cable behind wallboard, etc. Could be a help in sorting out cables you can touch.

Hi Lisa connecting 2 - 100ft runs is quite long. The techies at the mfg site can tell you about signal lossat that length.Best Regards,Lazz :)

The signal range is way over 30 feet. Mine is about 20 feet away and through two walls and my signal is fine. The only trouble is that, after two months, the adapter was suddenly unable to connect to my wireless network. This could very well be a user issue but, anyway, back to your question: Yes, it works awesome within 30 feet.
