I want to put one upstairs and one in the basement. Will these go through the floor. Reviews talk about range issues. Better options?

Are we talking brick and mortar or wood structure. A standard home made with wood joist and the like should be fine, in my opinion. I have a Onelink unit on the second floor, two on first and one in the basement. I do not seem to have any problems with the units communicating.

Yes, I have one in the basement, and one on the second floor. They both connected thru wireless..

The ones I installed in our church, one upstairs and the other on the lower floor worked fine. Placed the one on the second floor directly above the one on the first floor. Wood floor.

I had one upstairs, one downstairs and one down in Basement, I test it and it work as is.

Hi Joseph,The range is better then 5' maybe 15 or so but if there is motion in the room between or behind the sending device it breaks the signal.

Sorry I have not tested haw far it goes. My son has a play room in the basement. We use them to communicate while he is down stairs and they work great for that.

Let me start off by saying I'm not entirely sure if the range will work through the floor. I do know the bulbs talk to each other, and can pass the signal. So id assume it would work if your regular wifi makes the distance through the floor. Hope that helps. You can always return if not. They are decently bright and fun to mess with colors.

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

Transmitting the video signal to another level isn't really any different from going from one room to another... The critical factor is the vertical distance and the number of walls it must pass through. If the location of the receiving set is close to being underneath and the signal must just pass thru the floor, you should be fine. But a floor and several walls will likely degrade the signal a bit. Moving the antenna on the receiving unit or just moving it slightly can make a big difference. The distance claimed in the GE description is for a clear signal, no way will you get that with walls etc. but 50 feet and a wall or two is most likely going to be OK. Also, be aware that TV's, monitors, phones etc can block/disrupt as well. Good Luck

They would not direct the sound in the forward position. I would think a floor standing speake would sound better. My suggestion would be the rf 42ii. I do use the rs 42ii as front high speakers on a 9 channel system.

I think that should be no problem. I have at least 50ft from upstairs to downstairs.

Yes, I have them in 2 separate locations. One is fixed to the wall in the basement. The other is mobile and can move from the kitchen to the livingroom without problem :) Love them, and never had a problem yet.

You will probably get the same reception no matter where you place it. If your Internet access isn't a problem, try splitting the difference and place the router on the first floor or you can do what I did and that is purchase a D-Link range extender. The model I bought is DAP-1320 and it work fine. All you need to do is plug it into a wall socket. The first floor should work fine.

I've tried to use them in my kitchen while leaving my phone in my room and they work fine not a 100% but they work they start stutter when I get passed my refrigerator. I would say that from my room to the kitchen there's about more or less 25 ft of distance

My wired unit is in the basement and one DC unit is in a bedroom in the basement approx. 30' away, two others are on the main floor approx. 15' away and all work great.I also Installed a wired unit and three DC units in my sons mobile home and they are approx. 45' apart and work great.

I have a large house. My E2500 is on one end, upstairs, and carries a signal down two floors to the basement, as well as to the main floor. Longest distance would probably be about 125 feet.

It would probably work but i have mine hooked to a tv and only get two channels and this is upstairs so i doubt if you&lt;ll get good reception in a basement

It's not so much that the long range versions go farther as it is they work through walls better. We use ours inside and found the long range ones work best.

Not sure what they are tested for. I have four. Attic, second floor. First floor, basement. I test one they all go off but probably signal each other one at a time as there is a slight delay.

I have mine in 3 different bedrooms on different floors. Mine are about 25 feet apart...they work well at that distance. I dont know what the max range is.
