Just use Bluetooth... This is exactly why bluetooth is far better then 802.11

Puuuuuuuuuuulease. bluetooth was dead years ago. max bandwidth (under optimal conditions) is about 1.1mbps. farther than 6 feet its about 500kbps. far too slow and short distance for networking. while it may be ok for cellphones or whatever.

That is true, but what the original poster does not understand is that WiFi and Bluetooth are not competing technologies. They have different applications entirely. WiFi is used strictly for networking machines like computers, handhelds, server, etc. and providing Internet connectivity to such machines. Bluetooth on the other hand is suited for things like cordless keyboards, mice and such.

But of course, you couldn't see that here at BBR/DSLR from an array of manufacturers and various industries that don't disclose their technology used.

Edit: For clarification..

Unfortunately for you, everybody else around the world does not feel the same way which is why Bluetooth is on its way out. I thought it was a rather useless technology myself.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7649324 Mon, 11 Aug 2003 14:09:37 EDT Re: Just a repeater please http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7647619 payurbills : Just use Bluetooth...
