I'm connecting two buildings using 2 of these. There are trees in between that I cannot go above. Will the trees interfere? The buildings are about 100-150 yards apart.

I am going nearly 1km through trees... Can't exactly see the far side but they are working, so it should go through 150 yards

It depends on the density of the trees, but the short answer is yes. It's pretty much line of sight.

You must have a clear line of sight for the units to work well. Your distance is much shorter then the units are capable of reaching, so they might work if the trees are not dense, but if the trees are thick and dense if most like will not be successful. I am using a pair at 1,500 ft. with a clear line of sight UNDER some trees and they work amazingly well.

Yes they will. But you should still be able to make it. Play with the power out on them.

Kyle, I put in weatherproof cat 5 and shielded RJ45 connectors at each end to help with potential lightning damage. The 5ghz model will probably work through the tree at that distance but if not go with the 2ghz model.

I really don't know as we have this set-up on our deck and there are no trees around. Further, we have retractable awnings that extend over the set. Lastly, we bring in the cushions at night. Sorry we could not help.

I have used two of them strung together without any noticeable interference . I also noticed no volume drop over the distance. The only problem I did have were people acciditly pulling the wire out by stepping on it. I hope this helps you! Good luck.

My property backs up to trees, i bought this , put 4' in depth in the ground. and this now gives my antenna the ability to go over the trees. I still have 1 section to extend. I have to guy wire it, at the height it is at now , it catches wind. I will guide wire it soon to use the full height. Hope this helps.

I'd say 1/2 mile is pushing it, especially with a few hundred feet of trees. If you don't see results with one unit, purchase another and bridge them, that way you'll be sure to get a signal.

I have got mine between 2 trees which are around 13 feet apart. With the attached chain links and tree hanging straps http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XNMEZK/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, there is room to even extend it by another 2-3 feet. So you should be good.

If there are no any obstacles between your home and your barn, It may work. Yout should put the unit on top of your roof and facing to your barn. However, if there are some obstacles containing water -like trees- , or some metal obstacles like electric poles or so; your link quality shall be reduced. If your barn is in clear sight from your roof and your barn's walls do not contain much metallic construction parts or wet wood blocks, then it is likely that it would work from 600 feet. Anyways, just buy one and try, if it doesn't satisfy you, then you may buy another one and build a WDS link between two units.

As long as you don't have a metal roof and you have enough room to rotate the antenna to align it. You'll probably loose some signal, from being inside, but it should not be much. If you have lots of trees around your house above or equal to the roof line........don't think you'll gain much......the antenna would need to be outside on a pole (do not use metal pole - sch 80 PVC works good) to get above trees,.....but then you can't do that because of no outside antennas.

If there are any tree's,etc in the line of sight, any moisture from(wet)leaves can alter the signal/strength. Note: If you are using the pc built in wifi, get a router and create a hot spot in your house l

They would not be in the way. I put 3 bikes on it. I never have any issues. The distance is 12-14 inches long. Hope it helps.

every area has different characteristics, and RF interference, my signals are making it over 50 miles and sharp, if the broadcast towers are unobstructed between you and them, i.e. on top of tall buildings it shouldn't be a problem, there are online resources to give you estimated channel reception, take what it says and the Mohu should out perform that substantially

if there are no obstructions between users they can work for a couple miles or more. Mountains, concrete or metal buildings or interference from a nearby electrical room can significantly reduce range. We have very few issues at our facility where the max distance between users is 800 yards with metal buildings, offices and a 300' industrial production line (the exception being inside an electrical panel room).

I have 500-ft with a couple of trees in the way at about mid distance and it works great.

If your home is predominately constructed of wood, there should be little interference. If the bottom level is below ground level, you may encounter some signal loss from steel beams, rebar in concrete or other metallic items. Electrical wiring can also be a signal dampener, but not to the extent that you can not be able to communicate. My family uses these radios to keep up with me as I'm a combat disabled veteran so it's sort of important that these two-ways work. Hope this helps you.

We mounted ours inside our window pointing at the opposite inside window. There are a few trees in between our units and it works great. Our distance is about 600 feet between units.

My husband and I have a similar work set up in our home. our desks are right next to each other and we both have the wave. There has been no interference adn we have had this set up for over a year.
