Will it transmit through a interior house wall?

Yes it will go through a wall depending on how dense the wall is. I tested transmitting it from my office to the living room on the TV actually mounted in the other side of the wall and it worked fine. The only issue I ran into is my wireless keyboard wouldn't transmit through the wall.

I couldn't get it to work with line of site 10 feet from my TV. So my guess would be that the answer is no. I have 40 years experience in RF electronics and couldn't for the life of see why it wouldn't work, but I returned the unit and gave up. I also have a Masters in Computer Science and the software installed find, but could never actually get the unit to connect. I hope this helps.

It will, but not from long range. Also depends on what is inside your walls. If they are solid walls (lath and plaster or block) it will not work very well.

That is very hard to predict. It works inside the buildings that I have used it in. But it is a consumer radio, so if other consumer radios have trouble in your building, it will likely have trouble too.

I doubt it, Seems as tho it works best on line of sight basis. Also would depend on house wiring and metals between the floors.

I'm not sure how the walls would affect the signal. Our transmitter is outside next to a tree; our receiver is on a window sill inside our log home and they are more than 50 feet apart. I hope this helps :) Our logs are 8 inches in diameter & the glass is triple-pane; signal makes it to the receiver just fine.

Yes it does. The transmitter's signal goes both through the outside wall and inside walls.

it will definitely muffle and reduce the transmission of sound, but not completely. also it's not really meant for that purpose, it's primarily meant to go inside the walls

I'm not sure. I live in a one story ranch home, so my transmitter and receivers are on the same level. Walls and floors do affect the transmission of the signal, but not as much as the 2.4Ghz system.

Yes, it can work through a few walls. Right now, I have it set up on a desk top computer which is located two complete room over about 60 feet apart. 100% connection strength.

Ours works well within the walls of a large frame home. Outdoors, it goes about 100 meters.

Yes it can. I installed mine through the wall. We really like our unit. Enjoy.

This remote operates through furniture. I have one behind the bed , another behind a dresser and another behind a couch. Remote works without any problems through walls as well.

No, the remote works through walls just fine. We use it on the first floor for a thermostat on the second floor, so it works through floors as well as walls.

The R40 has an IR transmitter, consisting of a line of sight infrared light. Most modern consumer electronics seem to use IR but certainly not all. According to the company maximum range is 50 feet. Anything that blocks this light stops the transmission of the IR signal. Furniture, walls, doors are all objects that generally block this light from reaching the electronic device intended to be operated by the remote. So room to room transmission is generally not possible unless you have no walls or clear glass walls. Another type of transmitter seen in remotes is an RF transmitter (radio frequency), which can be attenuated by objects but not "blocked" like a light beam. There are IR to RF and RF to IR converters as well as a number of other more complicated technologies. Often these are "whole house" and professionally installed but can be done by many people with the proper knowledge and research. There are a number of manufacturers including I believe the maker of the R40 that can assist you.

No, it is infared, and that means "line of sight" from the transmitter. It would have to be RF[radio frequency] to transmit to another room.

Yes, it works through obstacles like walls etc. I have mine working through a wall and about 45 feet away.

The transmitter does work thru windows. My transmitter is mounted on a tree next to my driveway, about 100 feet from the house. The receiver is on a table in my living room. See my review for solving false alarms.

Of course it will go through walls -- wireless signals always go through walls (it's just the strength of the signal that is the question.)I have it one room away from my router (i.e., through a double wall) and it gets maximum signal (all bars.) It has a directional antennae ..so, just make sure it's facing the right way.
