Why does it say: "TRENDnet Micro-Bluetooth USB 3.0 Adapter with Distances up to 100 meters/328 feet " followed by "for distances of up to 10m (32.8ft)
1874085
Bluetooth class 1 devices do support up to 100m of free space range, but most bluetooth devices are class 2 (10m of free space range). If you find a device to pair this with which is class 1 then you should get better range. Hope that helps.

Probably a mistake, Bluetooth is good up to about 30 feet depending on the area involved and obstructions.

Very good observation!!! I bought this item to listen to music at work without the inconvenience of being connected to wires. When I first read "up to 328 feet", i was sold. Frankly, i don't think i paid too much attention to the 32.8 ft until after i went back to read it, but by this time, I had already purchased it. The earphones work fine if I'm in close range of the micro-usb adapter, but if i go too far from it (more than 30 feet), it starts distorting and eventually shuts off.

I just went to the Trendnet website, and it says the TBW-106UB has 100m range, the TBW-107UB is only 10m. But I also just read another answer below, and it says he owns one, and it's only about 10m.

I think you got a defective one -- I'd ask for a replacement. Mine has close to the 30ft range -- that's supposed to be the standard for Bluetooth devices.

The USB connection is used in place of the bluetooth. The bluetooth allows clean connection without wires getting tangled. The USB connection is a more reliable connection and be stretched to 15 feet without loss of communications.

Bought this for a friend. But what you have to consider is the one end of the adapter. There is a standard USB end that could plug into any laptop/ computer or wall adapter. I don't really think the voltages and amps vary that much. Could Garmin void a warranty for not using the exact recommended charger -- probably. However, the other end of the USB cable that plugs into the actual unit is what you need to be careful of. I think it's just a mini-USB, but you should verify. My friend wanted it for both charging and downloading new map updates. She knew it would work and that's why she wanted it. Hope this helps a little. Bought this for a friend.

From the USB plug to the blue tooth device is 37". From the USB plug to the "Y" piece is 12". This worked great for audio from the phone to my radio but the microphone picked up a lot of ambient noise. People I talk to can barely hear me. I have moved around and even held it near my mouth and it's still too noisy.

Using an old Blackberry Bold 9000 as a music player, my SHARKK on Bluetooth works at a distance of 30-35ft. without distortion. After that it starts to drop the signal noticeably.

I too was confused by that. I was purchasing for my son and he has a 4 gig nano. I called Logitech 1st to make sure before ordering. The adapters that come with it work fine and we have been happy with this product.

Hi Jeniansmom, your source device can work up to 10 m (about 30 ft) (line of sight) of the Bluetooth Speakers. -Vincent

USB 3.0 is a 3 meter spec. Actually a step down from USB 2.0 which was 5 meters. Your milage may vary though. Quality cables should do the trick. I have had good and bad luck with long runs on USB 3.0. As long as you don't need to power the device, I'm thinking it would work. But I'd have to test it and mines mounted already. Best wishes.

I purchased a USB extension and that helped me on the distance. Guess depends what is the distance you are looking for and if you can get an usb extension that long.

Depends on the computer/laptop a lot of manufactures like to make the connection blue, or have a special symbol. If you look in your computer management->Universal Serial Bus controller you should see one listed as USB 3.0.

It needs to be within range of the USB device that's plugged into the computer.

A standard 2.4 Ghz RF device has a range of 10 meters or about 33ft. This range can be affected by electrical interference or line of site loss, but those are issues you can account for during setup. To be comfortable I'd suggest being no more than 25' from the USB receiver.

Just tried the distance and mine seems to work quite well at 20+ feet. Mind you USB receiver is in the front clear view.

Sounds like it means 4ft from the plug (male) end. But I'm not sure if that's right. I gave mine away so I can't look at it. It worked great though.

Jeez, I feel like I wandered onto a used car lot. There is some deception going on in this product listing.USB2 Bluetooth 2 class one EDR (BT2.1).Mfg product page: http://trendnet.com/products/proddetail.asp?prod=170_TBW-106UB&cat;=10#tabs-solution02

Bluetooth usually has a range of around 30 FT or so. This can change depending on what stands in the way of the mouse and the device it's connected to. It also depends on the strength of the bluetooth signal coming from the source device. Lots of variables, but ultimately it's safe to say about 30 FT at the most.
