Does anyone know of a method to extend the blue tooth range - similar to a repeater for wifi perhaps?

Yes, just google or bing "bluetooth repeaters." If this is to use your streamer pro with a phone, you might consider what I did: Throw away the Pro, it's technology that's 10 years old and will never be any good. Get a Blueparrot headset. You will look like a nerd BUT the sound quality is truly amazing, both for you and the person you are speaking with. http://www.amazon.com/BlueParrott-Generation-Canceling-Bluetooth-203100/dp/B006H3E6EK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413470120&sr=8-1&keywords=blue+parrot+bluetooth+headset

Yes, the Bluetooth tech allows that but I don't know how far away you can get. Maybe 2-3 feet?

W. Tobias had the correct answer. The Panasonic range extender does not have any effect on the bluetooth range - cell phones will have to be within 15-20 feet from the base.

Honestly, the bluetooth range isn't that good. I'd say about 15 to 20 feet. Maybe even less

Unfortunately you will not be able to. Our new Bluetooth Transmitter (ABT01F) would be able to do that though. That item should be available within the next few weeks!

Hi Gene,Utilizing this item as a Universal Repeater should accomplish the task you have mentioned. Keep in mind, it will only extend WiFi signal, it will not make the connection "faster". Hope this helps (and I've enjoyed this product).K.O.

I don't use any Bluetooth hardware, but try this:http://www.howstuffworks.com/bluetooth.htm

BlueTooth is good for about 30ft but walls and metal will reduce this distance. This may not work well!

Yes, it is the most direct and cleanest way to do that and the range if this device is very good. There may be cheaper ways to do it with another Bluetooth receiver and or using an audio cable adapter into the aux input, but would involve patch cables and may not perform as well and not be remote

there are better options, I know this could be cheap, but it's not a good option. If you could, try to move the router closer to the place that you want, if can't, maybe could look for a better wifi repeater.

there are things called wireless repeaters, but i found a better solution, albeit, expensive.i bought a powerline adapter and a wireless access point to extend my range. ended up costingme over 200 bucks, but i now have a reliable signal.

It maybe that you need to understand marketing and theoretical design., which is often a marketing default to use in specs. Often ot real world experiences.Bluetooth can theoretically be used up to 30 feet with no interferences and in an ideal test environment. Your home or office, is not a test environment.

No, there isn't. At least not on mine. Maybe they will make a newer model that has blue-tooth capability?

None that I have found so far - I think the absence of wifi makes it unlikely that you are going to be able to find a way to do that, and unlikely that there will be a retro-fit that will allow it. Sorry.

No. You'd need some way to do a coffee can repeater, probably a wireless range extender would work, plus an empty aluminum coffee can around each antenna pointed at each other ("laser pointer pointed thru a hole in 1 does wonders on this") to extend the signal range to get that sort of distance at the outside wall. A router could do it, but it's unnecessary. You'd be very unlikely to penetrate a wall then get 500' of range on a standard household router though.

I have used it outdoors but unless the source device is also outside the range is pretty limited when the bluetooth signal has to go thru the house wall.

There is a set that I currently use and love them. They have great range and sound quality. You can search them in amazon type in Active2 Bluetooth. Make sure there's no space between active and the number 2. Enjoy
