From wireless ergonomic keyboardsto hands-free headsets, Bluetooth technology has fundamentally changed the way we work and play. No longer must we waste precious minutes in our days untangling wires, and — even better! — all of our favorite Bluetooth technology will pair in an instant with any Bluetooth-enabled devices. No lengthy procedures required. There is, um, just one little problem. Sometimes — and just sometimes — those Bluetooth devices interfere with other technologies. In this article we’ll take a deeper look at just why this is and make a few suggestions for keeping all of your favorite devices on good terms. See full list on Tomunicate between your devices, Bluetooth sends signals over a 2.4GHz radio frequency. This bes problematicwhen other nearby devices are also using that frequency. Wi-Fi is perhaps tggest and most problematic example, as are other Bluetooth receivers and devices, which can interfere with one another. That said, even microwaves can cause Bluetooth interference with your devices. So can Direct Satellite Service (DSS), 2.4GHz and 5GHz phones, wireless speakers, external monitors, baby monitors, and really any wireless device that uses Bluetooth technology. Still, in theory at least, interference between Bluetooth technologies should be relatively rare with properly designed devices, because their signals are relatively weak — 1 milliwatt, aspared to cell phones, which emit about 3 milliwatts. What’s more, most of today’s Bluetooth technology use what’s called spread-spectrum frequency hopping. That is, they rotate between 70 randomly chose frequencies within their ran...

It should be as simple as pushing a button, right? But because our wireless devices have to connect toputers of all ages and operating systems, things can get a little hairy from time to time, especially with Windows 10. Turns out it involves several buttons, multiple control panels, and even a pass code. So without further ado, have a look at this step-by-step video that walks you through the steps to connect a wireless Bluetooth keyboard to Windows 10. If you want to use Bluetooth technology, but don’t have integrated Bluetooth on yourputer or laptop, you may need a Bluetooth Dongle. To find out what a Dongle is and if you need one, click here.
