My WMX is about 15 ft away from my MP40w - about 12 ft across the room and up one floor through a floor and one wall. I got a "Missing" indicator one time and nothing since. In the week I have been running it, all the commands are immediate.
The e-mail I got from Ecotech cust svc said 10 to 50 ft was in range. I read the referenced post were their President said 12 inches? LOL, might as well just plug a USB cable between them and forget all the expensive wireless technology. I hope he meant 12 ft, but the OP said he was having trouble at 48".
You can run the WMX off a long USB cable and just mount the module right in the cabinet with the Vortech controllers. I just wanted to keep the installation to a minimum and not run the cable up one floor and through the wall, but I will if needed.
I am adding a second MP40w this weekend, so we will see when they are both slaves and sync'd off the commands from the WMX, if the distance becomes more of an issue.
