I think you'll be lucky to get any of them to work through 3 walls, I can get about 15metres away before i lose connection, but stick a couple of walls in the way it drops the connection quite easily sometimes only 3metres :cry: away as the crow flies so to speak.

Ratkat,

What bluetooth adapter are you using?

I think I may go for the MSI 6967 as i've been looking at reviews on the internet and it seems quite good.

Jimbo

I use the 3com USB adaptor.

Range quite good, Inside a briefcase (10m), but drops to +/- 4m through one wall only. No go with 2 walls at 5m.

One word of advice, Regardless of which one you choose, make sure that you have someone to help you with the setup. It can be tricky!!!

im looking at the MSI MS-6967 or the Mitsumi. I currently haven't found a site as cheap as Jimbo for the MSI, but the Mitsumi is all over ebay cheaply.

The MSI says it has 100m range so is possibly better, but i dont want to get it if its going to be a bugger to set up with a 7650, whereas i can see that the Mitsumi is widely in use by people here with success.

has anyone got a MS-6967 working without any trouble yet?

well thats what the site said, but i can't say either way as i dont have one

you can get bt devices with these kind of ranges, but not usually ones that small. I would imagine that the ability of the 7650 to transmit data will limit the range significantly as well
