help me extend range of wireless headset
Posted on 2014-01-15
http://freetalk.me/skype-headsets/skype-business-starter-kit.html
using this wireless mirophone/headset I think it is 33 feet of range.
So I use 10 foot usb extender to extend the small usb device.
But the range is stopped at the same distance.
I should get additional 10 feet?

Well USB 2 supports only a cable length of 15 ft (5m). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Proprietary_connectors_and_formats and scroll down to the section Cabling just below. The other forms of USB are 10ft (3m) so you will probably have problems with an extended cable.
You could try raising the aerial device at the end of the USB upwards to above head height and see if that extends the range. I'd try that first before anything else.

okay my question is I am getting 33 feet of range from my computer
so I add 10 feet of range from my computer with 10 foot usb extension
so I expect an additional 10 feet of range (33+10) but I am still only getting 33.

Do you have any obstructions in the way such as walls or cabinets?
And have you tried raising the transmitter at the end of the USB up in the air?

So, It's 33 ft from the computer, when plugged directly into the computer.
And when plugged into the 10 cord, it's still 33 ft from the computer?
A shot in the dark. Are you using any other wireless usb devices (mouse/keyboard/etc)?
That might have a stronger "sender", and the earphones are using that instead of the one it is suppose to.
just a thought...

>> Yes, walls and cabinets.
OK, so there are obstructions. If you have a direct line of sight to the transmitter what is the maximum range of the headset?

Box says 33 feet. I am still waiting to clean my bathroom because I get half my bathroom. I am not sure number of feet.
Only wireless device, I do have a microwave and router in kitchen before bathroom.
I have USB wired keyboard, mouse, phone charger

It seems that the walls and corners between the headset and the transmitter are affecting your distance. The distance on the box is usually line of sight with no obstructions.
If there are hard objects such as stove or refrigerator between the headset and transmitter then these also will block the signal.
Moving the transmitter 10 ft closer with the USB cable has not increased your range which is a definite sign that something solid is blocking your signal.

You could consider buying an alternative and better headset instead of costing your self more money for repeaters that won't work.
I have had good experience with this one. even though it's expensive but it's high quality and thing that last long.
