I don't have this remote, but in the past I have tried a number of RF solutions to "extend" the range of IR. Long story short, RF is never going to be as reliable as a hard wired solution, which I've now done throughout my house. I've had RF solutions work great, then for some reason quit working for a day or two, then start working again. These days, there are too many sources of radio interference that can come and go. I guess what I'm saying is if reliablity is important, hard wire it! Just my opinion.
