My neighbors would like to connect their houses to mine next year.   I tested the wireless (easy linker) and the distance between my house and the house that is the farthest away....is just too far.    Can I hook houses up between mine and his using "links" and will this "daisy chain" from one house to the next?   Has anyone done this?  Help I only have 11 months left to pull this off!!!!  LOL

Eddie,

Take a look at the LOR Support page. There you will find examples of how to hookup LOR, including one that would be useful in your situation.

I have not had any issues, but the distance between me and the neighbor is only about fifty feet. I seem to recall someone around here was controlling a neighbor's display ten houses up the street and had to put the tx/rx up in the trees to get a reliable signal.

Thanks... I looked at the support page but I was hoping that I could use more than one wireless connection to get past driveways...  Rather than having to run cable over  driveways between the houses....

Have you seen or heard this being done?

:cool:

Yes, you can use multiple linkers for this project.

I was looking at everything, and you should be able to transmit to another transmitter within 500 ft.  Although if the signal must travel through walls that is when the distance will decrease.

My plan is to test this out in July  I need to purchase several more controllers and a few linkers.  It looks like I will have to run cable between the last three houses.  Thanks for all you help.  [url=javascript:emoticon(':cool:',%20'images/emoticons/cool.gif')]document.write('[/url]');

I  found that running the cat 5 cable from roof top to roof top works the best, no loss of signal that way

It would be nice if you could use the remote LOR Units as repeaters but, I don't think LOR Works that way. I guess you could try getting the first ELL as high as possible and then go from there.

I seem to remember there was a guy either here or PC that had 14 houses on a Cul-de-sac this year maybe see if you can find him and ask him if he has any issues.

I control my neighbors house across the street but the distance is less than 100 feet through trees and shrubs.

I had 14 ELLs setup at a Commercial setup with no problems but, one thing I do remember is the higher we got the main Antenna the better coverage we had over the whole park!

Page 11 of the ELL manual shows that this is possible. You just place the first set on an open channel, then further downstream the next set on another open channel, etc... The con to this is that each relay requires a pair of trancievers.
