WVB Signal Extender

Is there a way to extend the distance of signal between the video bridge and Genie mini?   My mini has intermittent signal in certain locations in my home and garage.

Depends --if your Genie wireless bridge is internal --the only way is to relocate the genie to another spot in home. If your Wireless Bridge is attached to the genie --then Relocate to wireless bridge to another location. 

Which GENIE do you have a a Hs-17 or a Hr44 or Hr54?

You need to add another WVB closer to it, they are connected by coax to the SWM splitter.

Don't forget the HR34 as it uses the external WVB as well. Yes the 2nd and 3rd generation Genies HR44 and HR54 (or revised HR54R1) are more common now, but not everybody has swapped out their 1st generation Genie (though they should).
