Will the wi-fi work if camera is outside house & phone/tablet is inside house (assuming it's within the specified 90 ft range), going thru walls?

I don't think so. It only works if the camera is within a few feet of the phone/tablet. The card's wifi lives on the battery of the camera, so don't expect it to be very powerful.

Just tried through timber frame walls to iPad....about 20 feet ok but no transfer at 30 feet.

It works within Wi-Fi range, should you get outside of range it will download when you return to range, if you leave the camera turned on.

It varies, guess it depends how strong your wi-fi signal is from your phone, I have been in the house and car parked in driveway watching live video.At other times you could be in the vehicle driving with the phone 2 feet away and it drops out.I bought one and rear camera connector is cheezy be real careful when you plug it in. I emailed company several times and heard nothing back

Yes; by running the cable you are essentially extending your network by adding another router. Wifi will work fine as long as you are within range. Your camera setup should work the same way.

My WiFi range works on the third floor with the modem in the basement. That is a distance of at least 75 feet.

I depends. In my house, I have one camera up to 80 Ft away from the monitor without any reception issues even with some walls between them.

Yes, it will give you wifi in the whole house (I have 3 story and large yard) and it also is fast. I have a laptop, a tablet and I also have to D-Link WIFI cameras for security on it. Yes, they also sell cameras that you can connect through the internet using this router and have access to the camera from anywhere in the world with a Internet connection and the D-Link Website.

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 would estimate the range to be a few houses away. So you can have the wifi modem inside and use the adapter to pickup clearer signal outside. It's not as far as most people say though.

no Idea, I bought for my nephew, to get his fathers wifi signal has to go through 2 concrete walls, 10 ft away from his room. have not heard back if is working or not.?

Hello, No this is not true. The range is similar to other devices with Wi-Fi (Smartphone, Laptops, etc...). You can have the frame in another room than the router, no problem, within a normal range for a Wi-Fi device. The Pix-Star Customer Support Team.

I use the monitor in my office that is at least 30 straight line feet from the camera. Wireless signal has to travel through two interior dry walls or around two right angles.

The range varies for many reasons, but it is a small unit with tiny antenna and I would say 15 feet is about all you will get. If you are using it with a d7100 the frame of the camera is metal and may affect range depending on where the phone or iPad is located. More hobbyist and consumer cameras have built in wi-fi, but most of the Prosumer and pro cameras are not going to have it internally. Please note, if you are using this with an Apple iOS device, put the device in Airplane mode. Then turn on Wi-Fi and connect to the WU-1a's network. Works great!

This is NOT a wireless unit! Each camera is wired to a special unit inside the house. If you want wireless this is NOT the item for you!

I'm not sure how far, but my router is in my basement, and my camera was upstairs on the 1st floor....I would imagine as long as you have a signal for your cell phone, you'd have it for the camera.

Dear Paul, the wifi range depends on environment around. Some home appliances will affect it, like oven/fridge. we would advise wired connection, if for long time video recording or surveillance. And you may also try powerline adapter, it can help solve range issue effectively.

Don't know how you came up with "miles." This is NOT a device that will send images to a smart phone. The camera/transmitter sends the audio/video to the wireless receiver connected to a TV monitor in your house which, in most cases, will be less than 100 feet from the fixture. The instructions don't mention a range but the signal weakens with distance from the receiver and the reception will vary depending on various factors.

Dlink: yes/no. It depends on the distance and the materials the signal passes through. In my case the signal could not pass through two standard 2x4 wood studded walls over a distance of 30 feet. Yes you could use you laptop camera.
