How far will the WiFi signal work? I am interested in monitoring animals in a barn that is 150' from the house.

You can also purchase larger antennas for these cameras for just a few dollars. With the larger ones you should not have any problems and much cheaper than a wireless range expander.

The camera has to be within range of your wireless router. Take a laptop out to the barn to see if you get a signal. If you don't get the wireless signal in the barn you will probably have to get a range expander. However, once you get one, you can then monitor the signal from anywhere in the world from a computer, tablet, smart phone.

This unit needs to be located where it can detect a 70% signal strength from the router. Since WIFI is environmental result will be different. Typically though you can set this about 30-40 feet from the router and it will connect.

My husband believes it's 50 or 60 feet. Let me preface that to say that we have to go through our house and garage with a lot of metal between both. That tends to disrupt other wireless products we've used and made them almost useless. This works fine, so I don't really know if this answer helps or not. There is no "line of sight" between the transmitter and receiver for us.

The range is probably up to about 150 feet at nearly full throuput - I use the router in my home and even in the distant bedrooms and outside the throughput has been strong - hope that helps

I use mine outside of the house to cover 3 home entrances 80ft, 25ft 3ft from room with monitor. and the 4th camera is 450 ft , direct line of sight with no obstructions to the room in the house where the monitor is to see a blind spot of the entrance of my horse barn with full signal bars. Live very rural so there is no other wireless interference in the area. Very happy with my purchase in this set up it does what it saids it can.

The base unit puts out a wireless signal which is received by the receiver on the pet collar. The signal from the base unit can be adjusted so it is stronger or weaker depending on your setup. So the range can be 2 ft to 10 ft.

The wireless router needs to be pretty close to you... Myabe like within 100ft?

Normally its control range is about 500 yards, if there is no other signal disturb it can reach 600 yard. Works great for 20lb ~150 lb dogs.

I have three units. Two of them are in the house, the 3rd in my office above a detached garage. Two most distant unit are about 150' apart ... works great for two/three way communication.

I use one with a distance of about 300 feet (about 100 meters) and barely have the required signal strength. Also, the output signal is weak at a distance of 15 feet in my house.

Mine is about 60 yards from house. Receiver inside. I had trouble at first getting false signals from the wind. Moved the jumper to med and now works great.

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 too live in a semi rural area, closest neighbor is about 150 yards away, I can get full signal on his wireless router. If you run Linux you can increase the power and it will go even further.

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.

The range will vary. I installed unit in an upstairs plaster wall structure and I was able to pick up signal as far as 250 feet away. Range is excellent.
