Since no one else took a stab I'll say about 3 inches.

Has anyone had any problems with Smarthome? I purchased a defective AuraGrid, Smarthome sent a FedEx pickup and FedEx would not initially honor the pickup because of a problem with their account. The problem was resolved, I returned the product and now have not received my refund.

JIM STEVENS, I sent you a couple of emails. If you are still interested please let me know.

I have a brand new Remote Unit With Antenna for the Auragrid if anyone needs it. $10.00 plus shipping.

I purchased this unit from Smarthome with great anticipation which led to 3 weeks of frustration and disappointment.

The unit arrived and did not have the proper connections for my Linksys WRT54G which is one of the most common routers in use today. I spent hours trying to find a RTNC to RSMA to make the connection.

The manufacturer did acknowledge the problem and also had problems finding the proper connection. They ultimately had to have them custom made in another country.

3 weeks after purchasing the product I received the connector. After climbing through that attic, tracing coax and installing the system it was a complete failure.

I realized absolutely no improvement and in fact when I remove the antenna completely from the router just using the hard wired connection to the grid I had no signal whatsoever so I suspect the hardware was defective also.

To add insult to injury, the home kit would lead you to believe you will have 3 remote access points based upon the fact you are supplied 3 remote adaptors. The fact is you only have 2 access points as one of the adaptors is used to interface the wireless router to the cable grid. In fairness to the manufacturer they did send me another remote adaptor at no charge to compensate for this.

The Tech Support at both Smarthome and the manufacturer were both extremely responsive. Unfortuantely this product was released without much forethought of use with a very common router and may have other problems as well.

I returned the AuraGrid to Smarthome and purchased a Linksys WRE54G which was about the same price, installed easily and gave me a full signal to the problem area.
