If you work with Bluetooth and Windows 10/11 and want to signal to reach a little farther or a little better, then read this guide to improving your Bluetooth signal.
In the age of wireless communications and connectivity, Bluetooth is an important technology for connecting keyboard, mouse and audio devices. The more often you use it the more there will be times when you would like the signal to be a little better.
But in Bluetooth there is a limitation in the watts of its power to save power consumption and thus it works at a maximum distance of 10 meters and indeed without any harassment or interference between the devices. If you are on the edge modes, i.e. at 10 meters, or if even at less meters you do not have good communication, see some tips for extending and strengthening its signal.
1. Update your Bluetooth driver
Always keep your Bluetooth drivers up to date. The latest versions make it work better, as they usually affect its operation. Older drivers with outdated Bluetooth mechanisms may also block signal range.
2. Remove intermediate interference
For Bluetooth to perform at its best, there must be no interference between the two devices connected via Bluetooth. Bluetooth connected devices use a 2,4 GHz radio frequency. WiFi also uses the same radio frequency. Therefore, you need to be a little away from the router (if it has WiFi on) so that it does not affect it and the Bluetooth signal works better.
3. Get a long-range Bluetooth transmitter
Bluetooth after receiving due attention from users, its manufacturers began to improve it more and more. It started with standard 1 and is now at 5.2. Its improvement also lies in the range of its signal.
The last protocol Bluetooth can even theoretically reach 200 meters but with visual contact. Usually at 15 meters the breaks in the signal start and this also depends on the ambient conditions.
If one of the two devices uses a lower standard then it is also lower quality the communication and to achieve their connection over a longer distance change it to the low standard. There are many devices available in the market with the latest Bluetooth technology to transmit the frequency over a long distance.
Especially the external Bluetooth adapters reach a distance that can not be traveled by its built-in Bluetooth transmitter computer you.
4. Visualize your devices
As mentioned above, eye contact plays a big role in Bluetooth. If you can, along with buying an external bluetooth adapter that is usually connected to a usb port, also buy a usb extension, so that you can place the adapter not behind a desktop computer but somewhere high up, with visual contact, then things will be very better.
After all, a usb extension cable costs almost nothing.

Why is the Bluetooth range so small?
Bluetooth started and remains a technology for low speed packet exchange over short distances. The profit; The low power consumption so that it can enter and operate continuously in small devices that have a small capacity battery, such as for example your wireless headphones, hands free, etc.
So the power of Bluetooth is much lower than wiFi, but also its power consumption, although both use the same frequency of 2,4 GHz. With all these limitations, the operating distance of Bluetooth is quite small.
How many devices can connect up to one Bluetooth?
The number of devices that can be connected to a Bluetooth varies depending on the version. The latest Bluetooth versions 4.1 and 5 can allow you to connect up to 7 different devices. But it can only use one device at a time.
