Verified Purchase:Yes

I found the product unreliable. It was recommended and installed by the Geek Squad as part of my home theater upgrade. The install seemed uneventful - mount the devices, connect cables, and power up. But the time delay before the link activated seemed excessive and was annoying. The link dropped several times before it seemed to settle in and the installers left. Each time it was necessary to reposition the transmitter, disconnect and reconnect power to reset the link. The first evening the link dropped regularly when simply changing channels on the TV, again necessitating a power down/power up sequence to make it work again. Day 2 was the same and it became very annoying. The included brochure was little additional help but provided a web address for additional info (very little) and a phone nr to tech support. I called, listened to a recorded greeting (for what seemed like 5 minutes and was of little help) before I got to a tech. His first question after I described my experience was "How close to the transmitter is your wireless router?" Well, It was within about 18 inches (right where the Geek Squad put it). He told me no other emitter should be within 20 ft of the transmitter (not feasible in my case) else mutual interference would likely degrade the link's performance. I think he was right because I had a longer HDMI cable to connect to the transmitter as an experiment and got about 6 ft of separation between the transmitter and my wireless router. Saw no change in link reliability. It still dropped as frequently as before. BTW, the distance between the transmitter and receiver near my TV was less than 20 ft with one interior wall between them. Also BTW, there's no reference to minimum separation of transmitter and other emitters in either the provided documentation or the vendor's web site.
