how far away can you keep the phone for wireless signal?

I was able to go downstairs and it still worked, though on the way down the signal was intermittent. Once I stopped moving it kept on playing like a champ.

No more than 30 feet. Less if there are walls in between. Works as well as other BT devices I have.

It's around 30 feet or so. My shower is 25 feet from my bedside table and it works great, even with the door closed.

It is a typical Bluetooth signal, so it depends. Bluetooth standard protocol is 5-30 meters. I can have my phone in another room with the door closed and the signal is great.

Mine works from a room away fine, but it won't go from one side if the house to the other.

Acctually it doesn't meant to be close to the computer. It shall be under the range of your wi-fi signal.

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.

Range is dependent somewhat on antenna placement. My transmitter & antenna is at the 7-foot height in the house on a planter ledge above my media closet. The wireless speaker works fine outside up to 60-feet from the transmitter without any loss in volume. Between 60-100 feet the volume gradually diminishes; but the signal is still received. Beyond 100 feet the signal is lost.

radius is roughly 25-30 yards... on the same level (floor and outdoors) as the router. you do have to be careful of obstructions (metal doors/ductwork/appliances/etc) as they'll reflect the signal. a good central location would be best. :)

in my experience, the distance depends on amout of clutter in the path of the signal.. I live in residential neighborhood in an urban area. outside, at my garden plot, the distance is a good 18 to 20 feet. if my galaxy s3 is outside, and the sharkk is inside I get a good 15 feet. Insidemy modest house ( 1300 square feet), if the galaxy s3 is located in a central spot, I can get the sharkk anywhere in the house upstairs or down. I carry my sharkk in my pants pocket, so it's never too far away!

I hate carring my phone around because of the kids, i live in a town house and i usually leave my phone in the kitchen while i go upstairs in the bedroom and down to the basement to do laundry,it always tell you the number calling and i always answer and receives clearly for more than 8hrs. Range of 20-30 feet.

if you have a long usb cable you can be ten feet or so away. the wireless usb doesn't work.

You can't place it more than 24 feet away from your access point else it will lose signal

The range is well above 1600 ft. In fact your neighbors will be in range if you don't use your security included with router, they'll be able to piggy back on your signal.

Good question, I keep my phone in my right pocket when I hike and it has never dropped the signal. I just played around a little in my house and was able to walk at least 50ft away as long as I had a clear path between the phone and headset. Of course when you get obstacles, like floors or walls in the way it drops a lot faster but I was still able to get 20 ft away.

I'd say about 30 feet. I used it on my porch and in my bedroom. They are about 30 feet away where I park. Thing is, the Wi-Fi turns off when it's not being used and you have to go out and tap the side to turn it back on.

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.

My range is at times as much as 50 feet. Most of the time I can have the transmitting source at one end of my home and I can venture to a different room at the opposire end before the Knivio begins to lose contact. There are instances when the range is much less. My range is reduced when the transmitting source is inside and I step outside the home. Reception is lost when the separation is as little as 10 feet. Another instance is when my bathroom's tiled walls seperate reception from transmission. Even at less than 7 feet.

I use it in my house so it is never more than 75-100 ft.from my phone but have not had any connectivity issues at all.

The farthest I have gone is across my backyard, which is about 135 feet, without losing signal. This was an unobstructed view to my Samsung Note. If I went behind the shed the signal started to get choppy which was around the 135 foot mark.

It depends on the density and material of the wall, but I would say yes about 10 to 20%. If you want extreme signal range you can try an Amped Wireless repeater. Because of these antennae my parents can get a 2 to 3 bar signal outside their house 450 feet away. I installed the amped wireless repeater in their house and their speeds match mine with no real change in dropped packets. Mount your router about 4 foot off the ground, I got a cheap $15 wall shelf at. Walmart. Good luck hope this helps!
