I wonder where would be the right place to put this device in the house. Bluetooth hasn't a good reach. Where you have it? How big is your house?

This device needs to be within a few feet of the cell phone you are using. The Bluetooth radio in this thing doesn't reach farther than maybe 10 feet.

We have ours in two different floors and no problem in a 3,500 square foot home.

This item is right next to the cell phone, which is connected The home phone is a base for 4 other phones, so it is in 5 rooms - one of which is downstairs. All work perfectly.

I would say the bluetooth is much more stable than other comparable speakers in this price range. I have achieved 30ft of distance with the perfect scenario. If you add walls/doors etc to the scenario then the connection is less stable but still very good. Typically we leave our phone in the kitchen where wifi is best and use our speaker on our back porch which is around a corner and outside through a sliding glass door about 20 feet away.

My condo's not that big, but I've got the kitchen, and bathroom plumbing, as well as the washer and drier between the router and my tablet when I'm in bed. It's pretty solid. You might want to look at what your mobile device has for a radio, I've seen problems with iPads at work that did not connect as well as iPhones and Android devices. Some gear just has less robust radios.

I had this sound bar, and the blue tooth only worked, if I laid my phone directly on top of the bar. If I got the phone more than 3 feet away, it wouldn't work, and my laptop that was located with in a couple feet wouldn't pair.

It works pretty good but if your using like your cell phone or something. The cell phone or whatever device your connected by Bluetooth works better if it stays near the system. It works good but its best when the devices are in the same room or general area. Hope that helps some!

disconnect at 5 ft range is not reasonable. the unit may be defective unless the bluetooth adapter is blocked by the speaker itself or big/thick object in front of speaker. Please email amazon or bentsai01@msn.com for replacement. Thanks!

I've dealt with the same problem. My brother and I both share the speaker between the two of us. Sometimes my phone will not connect to it and gives me the same lame excuse that you received. You just have to make sure the previous device you used has Bluetooth turned off completely and it is entirely out of range. Then you go ahead and turn on the speaker, turn the Bluetooth on on the device you want to use, and then connect it when the device reads the signal from the speaker. That's how we took care of the problem. It's a little tedious and absurd, but it's the system we use to make it work.

I found it to be useless. I does work somewhat on wifi, no idea about Bluetooth. I would not purchase it again. Good luck.

Check the distance between the bluetooth device, or do like I did, and just buy a new system. This product did not work well for me at all.

If the Bluetooth device is within 2 feet. I had horrible Bluetooth performance with the one I had and returned it.

No help to be had. Tech service was terrible. They thought the unit did not include Bluetooth, but it was advertised on their own site as having BT. My advice: get your money back if possible.

30 meters is an amazing range for Bluetooth. I use this with my Motorola ROKR headphones, but if I get 30 FEET from the source, it flickers. What are you using that has a 30 meter range? I want that one.

I have a 3 bedroom 2 bath home and have the stereo set up in the living room...I can walk around the house with my phone in my pocket room to.room and never lose signal..I leave my stereo on and as soon as i walk in from a long day of work i just turn on the Bluetooth and the stereo automatically connects without having to pair everytime....

If you have blutooth technology you shouldn't have a problem. This device is pretty shoddy, id suggest spending a little more on more durable hardware.

It will not function without its main piece which is a bluetooth item. You may want to search for a different type of unit altogether as this is definitely not ideal for you.

Should work any where there is an active phone outlet. I've had mine for over a year and not had any problems hooking it up anywhere in the house. The Bluetooth feature works great too with a much better range and reception than most devices. It comes with a base that can be mounted to your kitchen should you ever want it there.

So far I've used it for only two applications each allowing me to use it without any problems, the scope of your question is beyond my usages. Hope all works out. But in my opinion I would suggest either you purchase another bluetooth device to to compensate and comply with your demands. Allowing you to use your devices and enjoy them all at once. In theory I believe this will work my ideal concept is only stated because I'm not sure if one will cancel the other out.
