What distance from a Chamberlain wireless intercom should I speak to ensure a clear and understandable output? My unit is always garbled.

Fidelity is not this product's long suit. The closer your face is to the unit, the more you will sound like you have a mouth full of rocks. My rule-of-thumb is to be only as close as it takes to reach the TALK button. And speak slow and distinct. You must enunciate. If your message is longer than a Tweet, go for a face-to-face.

Sometimes wireless devices can interfere with each other. I moved a Bluetooth speaker on my desk and the problem went away.

Berry:I tried both wireless and hardwired (Ethernet cable). With hardwire, it works well. Wireless: not reliable. I had to have another one sent since the voice dropped off so bad and the wireless signal reception was poor even in front of the wireless router! The second one was slightly better, but the voice quality was very poor or could not connect. I discussed it with OOMA, but I would have to return to Amazon to get the refund. By that time I could not return it. So, I am stuck with it. It really amazes me that they sell such a poor quality product.In summary: it is bad idea to use this wireless.

I have three units. Two of them are in the house, the 3rd in my office above a detached garage. Two most distant unit are about 150' apart ... works great for two/three way communication.

I wish I could answer that, I barely get mine to work. I can't pick up voices over 5 to 8 feet away.

I had the same problem and just attached an long wire (I just used light speaker wire) to the antenna and extended it high enough till the signal reached. I have it controlling my outside yard light through our kitchen window and its about 70 feet away

I am not sure about that but I am sure you can return it if it does not work out I don't think it will be a problem you are pointing it in the direction of the signal. It may be through a window but I am sure the signal is higher than our homes. Go to Terk.com and they can help you with additional questions.

I use mine in our house to reach my husband in his shop 80' away. Transmission is like he is right in the room with me. I bet it will be as good or better in your house. You have to make sure each intercom is turned on in each area of the house. We turn ours off at night and then on when he is out in his shop....You will love it....Patsy H.

I would contact NetGear support as it sounds to me as if the unit is defective. It could just be the remote sending the wrong signal but whatever the reason you should not have to tolerate it. Good luck.

Wendy-We have our AUdioengine hooked up to a TV wall mounted 13' above the enclosed stereo reciever cabinet. The main TV is 30' away on a 1/2 wall. Our living space is very open with 26' ceilings so sounds travel. The latency is extremely minimal, that we generally have both TV on at the same time. Unlike cable boxes hooked to each TV where the latency in sound is a killer. As far as being impacted by wireless equipment, we have 2 different routers, but no cell service . No interruptions. Nearest neighbor is 5 miles away so no history with city congestion. We love ours

I found that mine has short range and low volume. It works well with line-of-sight but not thru objects. Here is a good PDF on the subject: http://www1.crouse-hinds.com/wirelessio/PDF/White%20Paper/white_paper_frequencies.pdf

I live in a basement apartment and my intercom works great. We have a rather long hall connecting the kitchen to the living room (that's where we placed ours) and the reception is great. Hope this helps.

Tavis, I'm looking for a similar solution - how did you do it in the end? did you use the 2.4ghz to get that kind of distance?

I used a single unit, and to be honest with you I had problems with the 4 wireless units interfering with one another. I think it would be worth spending the extra money to buy something of higher quality. Hope this helped.

These intercoms require that both buildings' electrical systems be tied together. My recommendation is to use walkie-talkies. That is the solution I chose for a similar problem.

Good morning Carlos. I just read your post, right now I can not answer your question because about a week ago I bought the intercom. At this time I am outside of my home but as soon have the opportunity let you know
