Can you use more then one of these units within the same household? Will they interfere with one another?

Yes, you can. We had two units for a long time together. They didn't interfere right away with each other. I think we have someone that moved into our neighborhood that has another unit that is interfering with ours. We just purchased a new unit this week actually to replace one of ours in our set of Mobi's. The one that we replaced also was having battery issues. It would barely hold a charge for more than a few hours. :( The second unit is still running strong though!

Only if you need them to operate independently. Your installation techie should be able to resolve the question for you.

They should not interfere with each other since you must program each one to a different port on the master receiver.

Hi BMcDuffey. Yes, you may use more than one Powerline device and install them in different rooms. Just make sure that it will be on the same electrical circuit with that one being used by the router.

yes and you may also need them to be at different frequencies to avoid interference with each other.

Nope. We have them in my sons room and our twins room next door. My husband keeps a parent unit on his side of the bed and I have the other o. Mine. The other parent units are in the kitchen inches from one another. No interference. Love it.

Yes. They can be in two different spaces in the room, or in separate rooms. However, you would need a separate control for each.

Yes you can put multiple unit in same system as long as you keep the frequency/channel setting same on all unit.

good question, I am not sure since I only have one unit. But I think the frequency might be different so it might not work.

Hello Mark, I am not sure if it will work. There may be a "frequency issue" built into the unit, meaning that there is "protection" built in so one unit does not control another unit next to it. You will have to buy another unit and give it a try. Mike

I bought the home unit and two others and have no problems. Depending on your house wiring, etc, quality of your signal into your home. Using Comcast as example, 5 at most, depending if anything else in on your network.

yes i have five paired at the same time. Base unit must be capable to register each one....dnc

I live with my elderly mother and thought they were a great idea. I bought two sets one for me to use upstairs and one for her to use downstairs. Unfortunately, they both are on the same frequency. When I turn on mine it turns hers and vice versa. Therefore unless you want two lights/appliances operating at the same time; one set is essentially useless. You could always keep one set and give the second as a gift.

As far as I read thru the information that came with the unit, you can change the frequency of one of the units so they don't interfere with each other.

I've used about a dozen of these devices and no two were on the same frequency. I think your using two or more in a close proximity would be fine. Each device will work only from it's own remote. The chances of you getting two sets on the same frequency would be very rare in my opinion.

I am looking at the owner's manual and see nothing about two channels. And I don't see any reason you could not have two sets in the same house. I've learned the nursery unit is very sensitive and picks up the sound of TV in the family room. We leave TV in 24/7 - if you do the same I suggest you turn the volume down. We use the to monitor our new dog who sleeps very soundly in her crate in our kitchen. I worried she might be distressed during the night and we wouldn't hear her. So far we are very satisfied with this unit. The number one reason I purchased it was the comments that it didn't "hum" or make other noises that to me would be disturbing.

I have ONE... but I believe two would work... upon startup each end 'scans' for the other end; I would think that if you 'brought up' one link and then the other they would form two non-interfering links. Also be aware that the range of these devices is low... a wall or even serious furniture can impede the signal completely, so it might be possible to just 'aim you way' to mutual non-interference. Hope this helps. BTW: I love mine... it make a super clear and high fidelity connection far better than the WiFi links I tried before buying this.
