the insructions indicate 1 device for 75 feet. I live in an apartment and have put a few within a few feet of one another. Any problem with this?

I put several in rooms that were infested and had no issues... but as a disclaimer, I would follow manufacturer instructions.

No, I have several in one room-we had an infestation a year ago that we've been fighting tooth and nail, and Gentrol is what is FINALLY taking the population down, and fast. We've sprayed and bombed, but Gentrol is what is finally doing the job-it takes a few weeks to see results, but that's because it messes up the roach's reproductive system, and you'll see the results in that the bugs will start looking different-one side's wing will be deformed, they won't walk right-things like that. We made a big mistake in not putting them out as soon as we got them-we were going on vacation and just forgot-because by now, 2 months later we would be clear of bugs if we had.

If you live in an apartment you should have to use to many. I would only put 2 in the kitchen and under the sink. The pest control man said you don't need to use to many only a few where you see the roaches, especially in kitchen.

I have not had that problem. The two units I use are in adjacent rooms to the computers in our house, but one of those units is probably not more than 10 feet away from the computers. Bottom line, I don't know for sure, but I don't think so.

I've got three in a two story house all in different rooms maybe 30 feet apart - I think the distance doesn't matter so much as long as it's connected to the same house wiring, as it communicates through the house wiring.

If there is an obstruction too great for the signal to pass from one unit to the other, then you won't get all to operate. You may want to try bringing them closer together to verify they are operating correctly, then if they are, you will need to try relocating the installation points so they will receive the signal.

You would have problems with the connection from one unit to the other. I think it could be hacked, but it would take some imagination and know-how.

Hi. I hesitate to answer this because I am not sure of the exact range of these devices. However, I can tell you that it is being used for communication purposes from the "main house" to what most people would consider an In-laws quarters way on the other side. For the price and the quality of the device, the worst thing that could happen is that you would have to send it back. Probably worth the try! Hope this helps.

I have the same distance. I use standard indoor outdoor cable and it works great. Adding a signal booster will help also. Mine is about 25 feet.

I only required one for my 80' of house length. According to materials that came with the unit, more could be added. Sorry I can't give a definite yes.

That is not correct. Units work quite well between each other. I have one mounted on the outside door jam and the other in the upper sitting room. No complaints with performance.

Yes. Distance is subject to line of sight and any obstacles in the way. If your final signal is marginal, then you can add another on the other end to strengthen the signal.

Yes, have to be careful of cable footage to your device. Up to 75 ft worked fine

I have three twelve feet apart and have no problems with the sensors. The lights shine down and the sensors face upwards

You need two. One would limit you to the range of your wifi unit. I believe they come in sets anyway

A maximum of 2 extenders can be registered to the same base unit. You may get decent results with just one unit. I installed one extender about 8 feet above the base unit (2nd fl vs 1st fl), and the improvement outdoors was dramatic. About 100 yds in each direction with very clear signals. Might even be further, but that was beyond our property line of a 2.5 acre lot.

Have not used my unit that way. But if unit made for one structure I doubt if signal can penetrate one exterior wall to enter the wall of another house. That just my opinion.

My unit will not work well at much over 3 feet. I wish I could get another couple feet or so but apparently not.

If you are referring to the operating distance from each other,then all I can say is not having read the specification on the unit I can only tell you of my experience. I have 5 units installed and one in the kitchen is approximately 50ftfrom the master bedroom. With only those two being active they connect just fine. As you probably know when one alarms, they all go. In the description at the website it says:This alarm can also be placed in a detached workshop or shed and linked into the home's interconnected system. This sort of indicates a distance greater than what I have.
