shiner Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Hey guys,Is it possible to extend blue tooth range hard core? I see products online (most notably from AirCable) that claim outrageaous distances. How about some of those homemade gadgets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiner Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 So you want to turn bluetooth into Wifi? No It started out as a concern, then I got curious. These morons were trying to mess with me. They took my phone. I heard something about bluetooth and reading my texts. I was thinking they pared it, and since they have great range combined with a program like Bloover, anytime I'm within their huge radius they can extract my texts. I was ignorant to bluetooth, I don't remember if there was a device saved and maybe I erased it without realizing. Of course I did a bunch of googling, and I came across stuff like AirCable products, bluebugging, etc. What do you think of the above scenario from a technological point of view?

shiner Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Hey Sip,I take your silence means it was a really silly question and it's not possible. If so, you can tell me, I'm not sensitive But I still don't understand these dongle's that they are advertising with a range of a few km (or even 1 km). In some cases it would be a higher range than WiFi.I thought with bluetooth even 100-200m would be impossible. Is it just a case of plain false advertising?
