A:Answer Chris, the "range" is more or less how strong the electrical signal is between the transmitter and receiver. For example, if you live in a really old house with equally antique wiring, you may have some signal degradation. Or, if you live in, say, a mansion with power outlets connected to multiple circuits, the connection may suffer a little. So, unless you have the electrical blueprints to your home, you're probably gonna have to play the trial and error game. There are a lot of great articles out there that discuss how the technology works. This unit says it runs in the 500/Mbs range, but most articles suggest that powerline technology really only gives you about half that. Realistically though, to stream 1080p HD video, you only need ~10Mbs (or less) of bandwidth, so this will usually do the job. Hope that helps! Good luck!
