Does the terrain affect the WiFi fence range or performance?
Unlike other wireless dog fence systems, the Wire-Free radio frequency signal is not affected by your yard’s terrain. The Wire-Free Fence’s effective range will be reduced over hilly terrain only if the indoor SmartStation base station loses direct line of sight (such as over a steep hill) with the dog’s collar. However, unlike all other wireless systems, the indoor SmartStation will actually benefit from a higher location in the house, such as a second story, to improve its “line of sight” with the pet’s fencing collar when dealing with difficult terrain issues.
