so my father refuses to network our home so i'm doing it myself.

i want to do it through bluetooth. yes, slower. yes, less efficient. but CHEAP. ahhaha. plus, if my dad sees a big ol' router downstairs he'll think i'm making dirty movies on webcam or whatever he thinks i'd do with internet in my own room. ^_^

anyhow, my question. i already have a BT 2.0 adapter for my comp. just for my phone & stuff. if i buy a long-range (rated 100 meter radius) BT 2.0 adapter, will it work & pair with my shorter range BT?

i hope; see, i think that although my device doesn't have great range, the long-range BT dongle will have enough power to find & pair with my one upstairs. (yes, it is under 100 meters)

any help would be great. thank you!

you want my help? you are making a big mistake trying to network your house with bluetooth. Slow? yes! slower then you think? oh yes. Paring Problems? uh-huh. If your computer is sharing the internet over bluetooth and you have 2+ devices using the internet from the first device the internet almost will become unusable. Unlike Wi-fi which can handle alot of traffice bluetooth was not designed to do much more then peer to peer. You need to talk your dad into getting a small netgear router. there not big and will not think you jerkin off online... Tell him he needs to get UP TO DATE with the WORLD and get Wi-fi
