Wireless Genie Mini and WVB
Maximum Distances and Material Loss
The WVB and the Wireless Client (C41W) should be placed no further than 80 feet apart and have no more than 5 internal walls
between them. It is important to recognize this guidance, and that home construction may significantly decrease range.
Walls and other barriers can decrease the range and significantly impact the maximum distances. Use signal strength to determine
installation quality.
Below are examples of various barriers and how they degrade the signal and lower the maximum distance from the WVB
TABLE 1.
Standard Medium Strong Extreme
<5 dB 5-10 dB 10-20 dB >20 dB
∎ Plexiglass
∎ Sheet plywood
∎ Internal wall (2 layers
drywall + 2”x4” studs)
∎ Fir lumber
∎ Non-stucco external wall
(wood siding)
∎ Wood floor/ceiling
∎ Stucco wall (with diamond
metal mesh)
∎ Brick/Stone wall/fireplace
∎ Double-pane tinted high
efficiency door/window
∎ Metal objects (ducting,
appliance, enclosure)
No impact up to 5 barriers; up
to15 ft distance impact for each
additional barrier
Up to 30 ft distance impact per
barrier
Up to 45 ft distance impact per
barrier
