how far away does it work we live on a farm and I need something that will get a signal for as far as 45 miles away

It depends on the strength of the signal. Many signals are only designed to carry a certain distance. I would think that 45 miles is stretching it, but it's possible. Let the community know how you made out.

I live in Washington DC and the Antenna catches the signal for the channels in Baltimore MD which is about 35 miles away so I would guess it would work for you.

However far it can pick up the wifi it will amplify the signal. The farthest I have used it is about 1,000 feet from a router.

All I can tell you is this... if you have a fairly clear space without alot of trees, you should reach about 50 miles. We HAD a good signal until the trees bloomed their leaves and now no signal as we live in a Sherwood Forest type area of GA. I reach Atlanta some 30 miles away when the leaves are off with no problem. DBi gain, etc I do not remember, sorry. Also, I have a booster on mine I bought seperately and it really helps with digital channels.

It detects pretty far out, I have animals 30' away in a pasture and it will often pick their movement up. I don't know about 200' away, would be better if you could mount it closer to the activity. Also, it doesn't pick up 'wide angle' but only straight out in front of the detector. The 1/2 mile transmit claim is valid though!

Go on tvfool.com to see how far away the station signals are from you. If farther than like 40 miles, you may want to get a signal booster, otherwise you dont need anything except this antenna and some coaxial cable to go from the antenna to your tv. You will need a compass (or use a smartphone app) to set the direction of the antenna, and two wrenches to tighten up the antenna. Thats it.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. It depends on how many other wireless signals are in the area. Sometimes I've had a range up to 50 yards or more. Other times not as much. 30 yards shouldn't be a problem.

Unfortunately, it won't work 12 blocks away...I tried to use it in my Garage and it worked, but the minute I went beyond my garage....It no longer worked! I hear it depends on the area you live in too...Rural or City! In the city it only works around my house!

My son-in-law has the same set up about 40 feet and that works. Belkin has signal booster if it doesn' t work for you.

I haven't found it to be helpful. My signal from the base is as strong as this sends and it's 20 feet further away then the device.

It depends if you purchase the range booster. Mine work between the house, barn and garage but all the buildings are in a 100 foot radius of the base station.

Depends on how many walls the signal has to go through and a bunch of other variables. My base station is about 100 ft away from my garage. If I stand just inside my garage no signal. Stand just outside the garage I get a signal.

Not sure how much range you're looking for -- it's not that far -- I have a Netgear Router as well and it works well with that== range up to 50 feet and through several walls and a garage

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.

I live in a rural area. My range is double - maybe triple - of other standard USB antennas that I tried. I can pick up signals from much further than that but not connect to them. About 300 yards and at a weak connection is the best I've done with mine. Full strength at 100 yards.

That's a good question. I plugged mine in a center supporting wall in the middle of my house and I can get the signal in my neighbor's yard over 200 feet away!
