For those that own one, what kind of Bluetooth signal range are you seeing? I ask because I am seeking a centralized location.

I've found that it seems to work best when kept in close range. About 3 feet. Range seems to be about 10 feet.
1799762
I think does about 15 feet....BUT I most commonly use it with my phone placed only a few inches away.... IE I seldom actually use the phone. I do know this device is more reliable than my previous one... HOWEVER it seems to sometimes drop signals in muggy weather any my other blue tooth devices have also done that... Jean

I'm not sure exactly what the range is, but it seems to be at least 30 foot. I keep my phone in a dock in my office within less than 2 foot from the Xlink. Another factor on the range is the phone it's linked to. My old Droid X wasn't as good linking as my new Droid Razr. Bottom line is I have had the Xlink for quite a while now and am still 100% happy with it.

the signal is good in 15 feet.but the sound quality is best when kept very close to the device

I got very little signal range. I was wanting the same thing you want. I had to have the phone in the same room and even then it didn't pick up the ring half the time. I took it out and took out the three phone system and just keep the cell phone near by. The Xlink is in the garage in it's box. I was using it on a flip Samsung phone that we put the old home number on.. I never tried my LG. It could have been the phone

I connect my AT&T; I-phone 4S phone through the Xtreme to an AT&T; 2-line office phone. The Extreme sits directly below the office phone. Connectivity is excellent, however a bit of a delay when first connecting to a call as it transfers from the iphone to the office phone. Range - My office is on the 2nd floor of my home and I get connectivity throughout the entire house which is about 3.500 sq. ft in size. Hope this helps.

We have an iphone and a Motorola phone connecting well at 12 feet. I know the iphone connects from another room but we haven't tested call quality from there.

The range specs is specified in the manual. Realistically, you get 10-15 feet...i.e. so in a small to medium sized room device works fine.

The pairing range is at least 30 feet one same floor. Pairing also works across one floor (plywood + Woodfloor) and a least one standard drywall. However, even if pairing works, people I was talking to were complaining about poor sound quality if the mobile phone was not within 6 feet of the XLink. My guess is that this issue is caused by my WiFi router which is about 12 feet away from the XLink. The bitrate probably drops suddenly when the mobile phone is farther aways to the Xlink than the Wifi router. Not enough to make the pairing fail, but enough to degrade sound quality.

I use an iPhone 3G and and it is picking up in another room about 18-20 feet away. I was pleasantly surprised.

It is a typical Bluetooth signal, so it depends. Bluetooth standard protocol is 5-30 meters. I can have my phone in another room with the door closed and the signal is great.

Hmmm - online search yielded an owners manual that says it is: Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate). I'm not much help beyond that.

Well i bought Belkin old model F8Z492 (not -p, or -ttp ) bluetooth receiver, range is very limited (less than 8ft) and transfer connection is on and off, but SB330, the range can reach more than 12 feet (I used in the room I only go 12 feet far) it is doing pretty good and consistent transferring music data.

I'm not Mac guy so l can't speak directly to your issue but I found any Bluetooth search I did with various devices all located and used the device with no difficulties.

I am picking up my wifi from my house to my shop ( where the cc x mile is located ) I am also able to see multiple signals from others some more than a mile away. The distance is about 500 feet and I am getting 5 bars in shop, the area is wide open space .

I thought that not having it was going to bug me, but it really hasn't been an issue. Do you have lots of bluetooth peripherals? Like les1984 basically suggested, you can get bluetooth receivers that don't stick out past the USB slot and always leave it in. EDIT: Here is a link to an example. You might be able to find more options prices elsewhere: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833242001

I have no problems it's one of the best Bluetooth I have had. Good quality, love the long range you can be on another level or a distance from phone and have quality reception, everyone hear me good and the don't hear a lot of background noise. I hope this help you.

I don't blame you for wanting to return it. Maybe return it and wait a few months, see if it improves.There are supposed to be "fixes" for WiFi, MySB, alarms, etc... in the just released SBS 7.4.2, but who knows.For audio quality I'd take the Boom any day! :)As for my Radio, it *never* loses connection to my WiFi (RED indicator), but I do get the occasional BLUE indicator (loses connection to MySB).My main issue is the "looks like it's playing but it is not" problem. Even then it is not as often as others have reported, for me anyway.I'm also running 7.5 beta and 7.4.2 beta so that may be why I don't have as many issues with the Radio as others, hard to say.

Yeah I agree with Danny, but with some creative engineering you can still boost the signal distance. The only way to boost the signal of something like this would be to utilize the interrupt pin and have it trigger from a read on the external antenna, Which would actually be pretty interesting to code and build. Hope this helps!

Don't get the Senta, virtually no FM reception even from stations within 50 miles. Sorry to disappoint, if you find a Bluetooth that does get good FM please let me know!!! steviegolfballs@icloud.com

It works pretty good but if your using like your cell phone or something. The cell phone or whatever device your connected by Bluetooth works better if it stays near the system. It works good but its best when the devices are in the same room or general area. Hope that helps some!

Honestly I haven't noticed any issues with the signal, I mean I've only recently been using it but that doesn't seem to have happenes yet. I live in miami maybe its just location strength?

I agree, the reception from the remote is pretty bad. I don't have a distance problem, but I do seem to need to have the right angle. I would look into a universal remote if it bothers you that much. Logitech has some nice models. Good luck.

Yeah but the bluetooth reception is terrible. I'd shop around for something better or make sure you can return it if it doesn't work well.

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!
