How far away can you put a C61-500?

How far away can you put a C61-500? I have a shop about 190' away from house, is there enough signal strength for that distance?

The C51-500 is a wired Genie client so as long as you are using good quality RG6 cable (or it was wired by DIRECTV) from the satellite dish, it should work fine. I would expect the client to be a bit more sluggish due to the longer distance, but no biggie.

Verify your box model number. I don't think your box is wireless.
