If you add in a signal amplifier can you run distances further than 150ft? For whole-home distribution

I ran it for 100' without apparent signal loss. I would try without amplifier and if signal is low than install a amplifier. Living in an obstructed viewing area (Satellite) placement was more important than distance for signal strength.

My need was to push a signal to an out building 250ft downhill from my residence. I placed the extender at the peak of the roof in the attic, (at the end of the house, closest to the out building). Plug the unit into a power outlet and presto I had a 3 bar signal to the out building. No additional connections or any other add-ons of any sort. Also, I'm using the NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Dual Band Wireless Gigabit Router (R7000).

I doubt it I have added a Belkin range extender, mine is no more than 50ft from the end of house bedroom, admittedy the main router signal goes through some thick timber, but its in the middle of the house in the basement, and only sometimes gets a signal at the end of house bedroom upstairs.

I use them between the house and garage with a run of 150 feet over phone quad. Make sure you observe polarity when wiring. The set works great and the signal is clear.

Look up the db loss per foot for RG-6 times the number of feet. I forget what that number is, but it is readily available. For every 3 db loss, you are loosing 1/2 the signal strength. Put the amplifier as close as possible to the external antenna, so the signal gets amplified before the cable loss. If you have a very weak signal to start with, 300 feet is probably too long. However, if you have a stronger signal to start with, it might work.

FB: the distance is too far and the insulation in both house and garage will kill the signal, and weather will also affect it. They recommend the extender be within about 20' of the router. The only way it might work is if you got the strongest extender and put it in a window without a screen faceing the garage, and tried one of those long range wifi antennas for the computer i've seen advertised in some mags. If it works, it'll be cheaper than running cable that distance. good luck, Charlie c.

The amplifier needs to be placed in the line where there is sufficient signal to amplify. The signal drop will be determined by the length of the run beyond this. I don't think the number of TV's connected matters as much.

Yes - all 3 options are available - 1) Pedal only , 2) Electric only , 3) Pedal and electric combined (it will extend distance range)

I do not believe that you can. I just used it for turning on a single station. It would never work for the distance it should.

It is possible, but not often, and there are simple remedies. First check the local broadcast towers for power and distance using http://www.antennapoint.com/ If the 1000 KWatt towers are more than 10 miles away you should have little to no problem. Often, most users will have more than one TV receiver that they want to connect using a PASSIVE splitter. A one-to-two way passive splitter has a loss of 3 to 4 dB on each output. A one-to-four way passive splitter has a loss of 6 to 8 dB on each output. There's also a loss on the down lead cable from the antenna which is typically 1 to 3 dB for 50 feet of RG6. RG59 has more than double the loss of RG6. Considering all the losses (just add up the ones used in your installation) and the distances to the powerful broadcast towers, there is usually no overload problems. If by chance you have an overload problem, add another splitter to increase the losses and verify the problem is overload. Channel Master has another low noise preamplifier 7778 which has only 16dB of gain instead of the 7777 which has 30dB of gain. Start by entering your zipcode into the antennapoint website to see if you have high power transmitters (1000 kilowatt or more) closer than 10 miles.

The unit comes with 3-4+ feet of wire. I would NOT extend it due to the fact that the connection may not be good and false readings may be given. just my 2 cents

I live in fringe area for reaching tv stations. The amp did help in pulling in additional stations. I have a long cable run from outside antenna to location of led tv.

If you're receiving a good signal now, the amplifier will strengthen it considerably. It shoudl work the same with an attic antenna as it does one placed outdoors.

Good possibility . My installation is not in the woods but I am picking up signals from that distance from some of my neighbors. I am in the country but it is open and flat. If you can get any signal this will boost it .

Yes, this is the whole point. As long as your outlets are connected to the same main circuit (they should be), you can transport the signal anywhere at home.

Thank you for your question! This system can extend up to 180' in diameter. Please know that the signal is circular, but if you need to customize the boundary area, we would recommend an in-ground fencing system.

That distance would not be likely do to low power of the transmitters used.They would have to have a watt or more in use.
