Bluetooth devices typically have a range of around 30 feet (10 meters). This range can be affected by various factors, such as:
- Obstacles: Walls, furniture, and other objects can block Bluetooth signals, reducing the range.
- Interference: Other wireless devices, such as Wi-Fi routers, can interfere with Bluetooth signals.
- Device type: Some devices, like Bluetooth speakers, have a longer range than others, such as Bluetooth mice.
Here are some practical insights:
- Real-world range: In a typical home or office environment, you can expect a Bluetooth range of 15-25 feet (5-8 meters).
- Open space: In an open space with no obstacles, you might achieve a range closer to the maximum 30 feet (10 meters).
- Range boosters: Some devices, such as Bluetooth range extenders, can increase the range of your Bluetooth connection.
It's important to note that Bluetooth is not a long-range technology. While some devices may have a slightly longer range, Bluetooth is primarily designed for short-range wireless communication.
