If you were going to hard wire them anyway then distance obviously isn't a issue. Its worth having a look into as you can get blue tooth dongles for almost nothing!
Wireless technology just does not work in this house. Nope. Not a bit. Can't get a radio signal, blue tooth fails more often than it work, even a computer not more than 5 feet from a wireless router recieves an abysmal signal, wireless phones are so filled with static when you want to call somebody and actually converse with them, you plug the wired one in. The only, mostly, reliably functioning wireless technology is a tv remote.

Wait, remotes are generally infrared, not wireless.

Well, there you go, further proof. I just meant anything that functions without a plug in cord of some sort.

Oh yeah, no wires. DUH! :sweat: I was thinking more along the lines of RF remotes. But yeah, stupid me.
