How is the range with this unit ? Is it actually .5 miles??

I have found this to work perfectly fine over around 400 metres, am not sure if I have used it with a longer distance. I did find that I needed to hold it up (as in up above my head) as there was a slight hill in the way.

Have not tested it at that distance, mostly used in the yard. It seems to be well built performs well.

I have used it at 100 yards and it works great. I haven't had to test it at longer range yet.

It's somewhat dependent on terrain (hills, trees, tall grass). If you're concerned about having enough range, you might consider model ET-400TS, which is rated at 3/4 mile.

I have an identical situation and it works very well at least 200 feet away. Hope this helps.

My device is in the middle of my house. I would say about 25 feet is the effective range

I have had 2 different sets, both midland, both over "advertised" 20 mile ranges and we have gotten just about 2 miles. Wife/son at home, me in car to work. So no straight lines, no line of sight, etc. This is in traffic, in the city. It is a gimmick. Now, maybe if you buy a license to use one of the regulated channels... maybe there you can get further, I don't know. We don't use those channels. I don't want any officers showing up at my door! So, experience says... 1 - 2 miles, TOPS.

i have used it about 12 feet away and it worked fine. It will go further then that.

Hmmmmmmm, tough one . I've never had to use it for that distance. I connected to an AP that was about 300 Yards away, thru trees and homes.

Most likely. I use it as far as 8 miles, but it is pretty much line of sight. If you can't see your target, it probably won't work. Check the Ubiquiti Wiki for set up instructions on using it as a simple wifi access device. That is pretty much its out of the box defaults.

I have th5 5GHz network broken out from the 2.4. I use the 5GHz for backhaul and I have it point-to-point just over 1/4 mile, but this is not usable spectrum as its only backhaul. The 2.4 goes around 500 - 750 foot radius

Hey Jeremy! We've found that we can go as far as 20 feet from our unit, and it works fine, but that's the limit. If we go further, it cuts in and out. A safe distance would be 15 feet. Good luck! :)

Sorry I took so long, but I just used it outdoors today!! It performed as I expected, very well!!! My neighbors came out as I was working on my car and were very impressed with the sound, and equally impressed that it was wireless. The range was about 50 feet. Good enough for me. Again, theoretically it's wireless but is powered by an AC cord, which for the extra volume and bass is alright with me. Hope this helps you out.

I got my 100' tape measure out and tested the remote for this unit. It topped out at 37'. Line of sight only. Will not go through walls or around doors.I can't explain the disparity between my range tested and Mr. Henderson's range. As well, the on and off was nearly instant the whole distance until it stopped responding completely at 37'. Either way, 22' or 37', this is a really nice piece of equipment.

I haven't measured distance but seemed very stable I.e.: if the speaker is out on the deck and I walk inside with my phone the connection was maintained. Other bt receivers I have were much more temperamental

I've used mine easily 300 ft away, with two walls in between. Range is very good.

Yes, actually alot of output. Just like a normal radio output range, it depends on the terrain. When I hooked this up to my radio I got an average of 20 miles+ with this unit.

It's not as far as it says. I've use it out about 25 yards or so. It must be off the ground for the remote to pick it up also. It works good for the price though.
