Hi I want to make a wireless fence to keep my dog out of certain areas. Can you tell me whats the range?

The range on this with the provided tags is about 1/2" or 1cm, same as most RFID readers.

It's range is about a few centimeters, (about an inch). I don't think it would work well for a wireless fence solution. Keep in mind this is Near Field Communications so the ranges are inherently small because of the wavelength.

This is a very weak receiver, probably only useful for door locks and other really close proximity. I adjusted the gain on this in software and was only to get maybe 1-1.5 inch range. It's good for prototyping software and getting a grasp of how RFID works, but for a fence you likely want a much much larger antenna --- RFID probably isn't the technology you'd want for this application.

The range is just a few inches, don't seems like this is what you are looking for.

For this specific device 1 inch. I've not experiment with more distance since it is designed for access control. You can find devices for specific ranges with this technology. Best regards.

I have two that I can sell you!!! I bought the ABCO collars and receiver then installed a wireless fence so don't need them. Not sure how to give you my contact information at this point however......

I used it for a space of about 25 feet. I got the dogs in a house next to my apartment building to stop barking all night. I figured I couldn't lose much money trying it. So everyone near this house can sleep every night now. I hope you have the same good luck I achieved. (I am not sure what the total amount of area one needs for it to be effective. The insert says 5 to 20 feet away.)

I have densely wooded areas around my house as well that are within the roaming area and I have had no issues whatsoever. We have our monitor set up on the second floor of our house on an outside wall and it seems to have a really good, fairly consistent range that does not break when our dogs head into the woods. They have tested the boundary along every square inch of the 300 foot radius we set up and we've had no issues.

I did something similar to deter squirrels...just 2 wires (gnd, hot) about 1.5" apart...works like a champ!

It's compatible with all "wired" (not sure about wireless systems) underground Petsafe fences. It worked great on my boxer. Two corrections is all it took.

You need the PetSafe PIF-300-11 Wireless Pet Containment System designed for 180' diameter (360' circle). The errant dogs will get continuous zaps until they return if you use this one. They won't be so quick to leave using this one, and you should later be able to return to using your present ground fence. The alternative is one of the longer distance systems you can control with a hand held transmitter, and holding down the key when you see them take off.

unless you make a duplex directional wi fi transmitter antenna and duplex receiver or have a few signal boosters along the way 2,640 feet is a little far for wi fi no matter how good the equipment. If you go line of sight no obstructions at all I have been at 400 feet. but i will not leave equipment out side to have that range.

It doesn't work over block fences or through walls, my neighbor has 5 dogs that bark constantly. three of them are outside and two are in an enclosed porch area, it works on the ones that are outside but not the ones on the porch. I have it pointed in their direction and about twenty feet away through a chain link fence.

not exactly sure of the range, it was either 400 or 600 feet. And yes, it will work regardless of the dogs position. Love this collar, it has made quite a little lady out of our lab!

Not sure what you are asking. We installed ours as a prefence to our wood fence. It works well...dog doesn't get near it. If your dogs jump on fence it should work.

No, the wireless system sits near a window and the dos get a 50 foot radius to stay in. The dogs hear a beet before they re shocked if going across the boundary.

I purchased the PetSafe reluctantly; but glad I did because it kept my boy in responding distance of the sound w/i 4 beeps. If not, I used the level 5 zap only once as a signal for him to know he needed to run back to our yard. It goes up to 15. He had that 1000 yard length of free space out of my sight before he had to come back. I only used it for 5 months and needed it no more. It has nothing to do with in-ground fencing. It has to do with a big yard like mine where I could not put an in-ground fence because of the way my yard is curved.

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

Yes, it can. There's no minimum range. I pair it with the "leave it" command so that if the dog is after something something he shouldn't be he gets a first warning to "leave it" and if he doesn't listen, I press the button and repeat the "LEAVE IT" while holding the button until he leaves it alone. Try a webcam if you want to be able to be out of the room and teach the dog that even if you're not there, the food is to be left alone.

Look at 'PetSafe Deluxe Ultralight Dog Fence Collar - PUL-275'. I just purchased two for our 10 lb dogs. Hopefully, it will work with the wireless fence system. :)

You can't cut the wire and attach it to the fence. The fence won't transmit the signal.
