I'm wanting to install at my daughters home but want to hear at my home what determines how far away you can get the signal?

You would have to run a hose all the way the bell is activated when the hose is run over and pressure triggers the bell so in short it does not sound like this is the bell you are looking for some systems use a electronic sensor and receiver but cost a lot more and are limited to distance

This particular bell is triggered by a car driving over a hose that is connected to the bell itself (down where the little red cap is at the bottom, in the picture) That sends a little burst of air pressure to the bell, and activates the solenoid that dings the bell. So, unless your daughter shares a driveway with you, this device is probably not going to be practical for you

This bell is triggered by a rubber hose being run over. You are limited by the length of the hose. I suggest the Dakota Alert system. It is more money but can be heard up to a larger distance because of its remote receiver.

Milton Bells website does have wireless hose options and hoseless options that will transmit the signal to a bell inside.

It only goes as far as the sound of the Bell. It does not transmit electronic signal.

If the bell is installed on the outside of a building you can probably hear it ring for about 50 or 60 feet. But if it's inside a building it will get muffled quite a bit. Either way you probably won't be able to hear it inside your house.

Seems to depend on factors like is phone base in a home or apt complex. In an apt the building structure gets in the way of the signal. In my home I can walk outside the house in the yard close to the house. I don't know a more exact answer measured in feet, etc.

I have mine located next to my router on the 1st floor of our 2-story house. I have Sirius Wi-Fi radios located both outside in the back yard, about 15 yards from the unit, and upstairs in the Master Bedroom, about the same distance from the unit, and with floors and walls in between. Both get "very good" signal strength. I also have 2 Wi-Fi "smart" Blu Ray players located within that same range (15 yards), and they work perfectly too. I believe I could get a good signal at ranges of up to 75 feet. So far, not a single problem.

I haven't found it to be helpful. My signal from the base is as strong as this sends and it's 20 feet further away then the device.

I have mine in a home office, up high on top of a bookshelf (about 6 ft). I get plenty of signal through 2 or 3 walls all the way at the other end of the house, and also outside in the driveway and the backyard. Easily 100 feet away in the house, more than that outside - once again through multiple walls. Important to note that these are wooden / wallboard walls with no metal studs.

I get a pretty strong signal up to 50 feet. It's one of the best investments I've ever made. I love it! Hope this helps you with your decision to purchase one!

It tells you in the instructions. It at least needs to be 3 feet away to achieve surround sound and can be no further than 15 feet away from sound bar.

About 15 feet. A quick tip: turning the bluetooth receiver around in the direction of device its paired with, especially when close to 15 feet, helps with the signal.

I can travel just about anywhere in my house or yard and still receive signal. It does depend, however, on what obstacles are between headset and source, such as a floor to ceiling well filled bookcase.

I am not sure on the distance limitations. I live in a 2200 square-foot two-story. The main unit is located in my basement and receiver is above it on the first floor. I have not had any problems with the signal. I have had it for over one year and I am still very pleased with it.

I don't think that will be a problem for you at all. We have a smaller house but live on several acres and I have been probably 20-30 yards away and still had reception. Just watch the battery. Keep it plugged in unless you need to walk off

It depends on your situation. If you need more range outside the house, or perhaps in a house with metal lathe and plaster that cuts down the signal range it will help. I set mine up 1/2 way between the barn & the house on the well house, & I now have several hundred feet of range.

However far it can pick up the wifi it will amplify the signal. The farthest I have used it is about 1,000 feet from a router.

About 2000 feet should do it, plus the distance from the transmitter to the boundary of your property

your router has to be within 10-12 ft away, than it works. Results can be ~ deferent from router to router.

I just set these up to go over a distance of about 350 feet. One end (receiving end) the signal goes through siding on a barn. At the house end, it goes through the wall of the house that has windows. About half way across there are trees the signal would pass through (no foliage now). My signal is 100% (all lights on).

I think it depends upon a lot of factors: where the signal originates from, any natural barriers to the signal (buildings, trees, etc) and where you are using the antenna (indoors, outdoors, near a window, etc.). You just need to play with your setup & find that "sweet spot" for placement.
