If you want wireless, think about replacing those with 900Mhz phones.īluetooth is a wireless network system that works in two layers.

These will degrade the signal of wireless and make it hard to connect/use it. If you want to connect devices, get bluetooth if you want wireless internet, get wireless.Īlso, one other thing to keep in mind, is if you have any 2.4Ghz cordless phones in your house. So, it's up to you if you want to get one, both, or none. Apple's Airport is simply what they call their wireless- it uses the same standards as any other wireless device. Standard wireless (A/B/G/Pre-N/etc) is meant for longer range (I think about 300 feet is the standard range without a cantenna), and is generally designed for wireless internet and network usage. It is used, as others have said, for connecting devices: a bluetooth mouse so you can carry that around easier and not worry about as many cords. It's range is only about 10-15 feet though, so trying to use it for wireless internet is not a good option.

A couple things I don't think were mentioned:īluetooth is a wireless system designed for short-range things.
