My new PIRF100 is transmitting through the floor to the rooms below. How can I block downward signal?

The only way I found to handle the signal traveling up or down was to turn it down low or off if my dog was in another part of the house under or over the transmitter.

the blast pattern of the signal is on a horizontal plane. it does not shoot the signal 600' up and down. only in the round direction. I would not mount this on the wall. I would mount it on the ceiling or on a shelf. That way you can use the full range of the device.

Not sure about this, working for my Laptop but signal drops when I move my Laptop to another room in my apartment

We use ours to receive a signal from a business that is a 1/4 mile away. Straight line of site. Don't know about going thru floors

For improved range get an external antenna such as this one: Hawking HiGain Directional Corner Antenna, indoor, 15dBi - HAI15SCI've gotten great results with it. This type of high gain antenna is also very directional so it works best if there is one direction where you need to improve things. As far as security goes, forget about turning off SSID broadcast and MAC filtering. These are easily circumvented. Stick with WPA2 Personal using AES ONLY but only if all you wireless clients support it. If you have older clients or non-PC's such as media extenders you may need to drop down to WPA with AES+TKIP. Even this encryption is still VERY secure.

I'm using it for a different purpose, connecting infrared remote extender receiver to the repeater. But I can tell you one thing when I ran it through the ceiling from the basement to the first floor I tested it with an mp3 player and there was no static or buzzing sound. It is not shielded so make sure it is not running along the power lines.

There is no chance of phone, router or any such interference. The copter signal is infrared. That means that the controller and copter must "see" each other rather than broadcast. It is designed for indoor fun because the bird doesn't like wind and the sun literally "blinds" it. So keep the lights down low and let nothing come between you... you'll live happily ever after.

My experience is that the sensor must be very close to the transmitted signal. My opinion is it would not work for cable behind wallboard, etc. Could be a help in sorting out cables you can touch.

These are designed to be mounted on the ceiling and radiate downward. If you mount this in the basement most of your signal will go down to the floor and be blocked by your foundation. You might get a signal in the back yard, but it probably won't be very good. Similarly, your signal on the upper floors won't be great. Suggestion: mount it on the ceiling of the first floor or check out EnGenius' line of outdoor Wireless Access Points.

Can you tell me what type of the devices that you used to strengthen the signal (name, model, the frequency)

That appears to be in the frequency range of the dongle. However, I would suggest you set up an outside antenna in the air as high as you can. That pager signal is probably coming from high on that tower. If the signal is strong enough you will be able to record it.

Yes. Make sure when you are adjusting the sender and receiver that you are not standing in the path of the signal, or you will create such interference and signal deterioration that you may think the device is not working. It will go through walls and ceilings, but not through people.

All I can say is that I have two of these and in each room they get different channels. I don't get all that one does in the other room. Being in a basement, The signal may be a bit weak. Best that I can answer.

We have ours indoors on the ground floor and close to a window. It works well but we are also not too far from transmission sources.

Hi Joseph,The range is better then 5' maybe 15 or so but if there is motion in the room between or behind the sending device it breaks the signal.

Screw in place between the inbound dish or cable lead and your gone splitter or modem. Closer to the inbound cable source better chance it can catch a surge before it hits something

It is very directional, which helps by sending most of the signal where ever it is pointed at. teamed up with the Amped wireless high power router, able to point at my other building for good signal 100 ft and inside the building another 30 ft.
