I have never gone that far, honestly. But I can go to the end of the driveway just fine. I have not had interference problems with my phone and the monitor, though.

I live in an concrete apartment building on the 1st floor. I can go outside to the car, dumpster, and mailbox (100+ feet). Never had an issue with interference from my phone or any interference for that matter.

I believe the range is 500 feet. I can walk out to the mailbox (country road) and to a back shed on our property of 2-1/2 acres. My phone or any other device is no problem.

From what I could tell line of sight matters for longer distances. Anything like metal between the adapter will hinder the Bluetooth signal. The PC case or walls will slow down the signal. But if you're using the Bluetooth in one room everything should be ok I would think. Also I read today on Wikipedia that USB 3.0 devices have been shown to interfere with the signal. You may want to look at the wikipedia entry.

I had a WiFi access point and one of those on the back of a Foscam Wifi cam and I was approx a mile down the road with no problem. The range can be farther but it is line of site so if there a lot of trees or buildings in the way the distance will be shorter.

I haven't noticed any interference. It is installed in my bedroom and i don't use the computer or phone or TV in there. Not much help I fear.

Thanks for the feedback Frank, I appreciate it.So in theory, the monitor should be able to get OTA signals, but possibly due to weak signal reach, it won't, hence the need for an antenna... Makes sense.

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.

I have a WiFi N network and I've had this product for the past 4-5 weeks and it hasn't interfered thus far. Are you experiencing interference issues?

You know, I'm glad you asked, because we've been having problems with this lately. Honestly, it is VERY prone to interference. Every time I check my email, the monitor cuts out! Pretty much anything traveling wirelessly will cause this thing to cut out. The range is pretty decent though. We use it on our second floor, and we get reception in our basement. But the same is true with the Lorex. I would certainly go with the Lorex model over this one.

I didn't have significant problems with interference with this unit & I used the receiver and camera pretty close to a router and signal booster. But I did have problems with other cameras I tried. I'm not savvy enough to know if the type of router or construction materials would matter with the type of camera. For the record, we have apple products and masonry construction, and we had a reliable signal, with about 75' and 4 walls between camera and reciever, an airport extreme 12' from receiver and a airport express about 12' from the camera.

Just yesterday my grandson noticed that he had signal 2 blocks away, driving away. There was a large brick building between us and the house. If you have lath and plaster walls, that might reduce your signal a bit. I'd guess it will work just fine.

yes you can. The only issue I am experiencing is roaming. IF your PC is connected to the wifi downstairs and you are going upstairs do expext loss of connectivity for a variable time (from a few seconds to a few minutes). it seems the PC has problem roaming to the new (closer) AP.

I bought this for my wife to use on her bike rides. She has her iPhone nearby and plays her music on this speaker by bluetooth from her phone's music library. No interference yet. Music stops if she does receive a call. Not sure what other bluetooth device you will using other than a smart phone that could interfere. Hope this helps.

Since WIFI signals are susceptible to many variables there is not certain way to determine if the signal will reach the other building. You have to consider the walls and obstacles as well. For what you are trying to do you might need an extender as well.

Try looking into repeaters. I'm guess that would be your best bet.... Or you can go with the Alfa 1000mW 1W 802.11b/g USB Wireless WiFi Network Adapter With Original Alfa Screw-On Swivel 9dBi Rubber Antenna. I've used it and your distance shouldn't be any problem for this puppy.

In general, I agree with Mike about the range (25-30 feet), but I found that walls in the house can interfere and shorten that range. I really like this device and have been using it for over a year now to watch videos while exercising. No problems at about 10 feet. I don't know the frequency but haven't noticed any interference issues with cordless phones or wifi.

I don't think it interferes with the WIFI but the WIFI may interfere with it. It looks connection on a regular basis and has to be reconnected.

I've used this AP in two different setups. An open warehouse and in my apartment. In the warehouse I could connect reliably at 40 yards. In my apartment I can connect reliably up to 15 feet with only one wall in between my devices and the AP. Any further or any additional walls create an unreliable connection. I should also note that in my building, every channel has at least 1 other wireless network broadcasting on it. Not great in an apartment setup. Excellent in open and less congested spaces.
