you can share videos
with a router??

next will be to integrate mp3 melodies and a microphone (speaker already present) and then replace your Nokia with a RouterBOARD :)

I can only see the idea for Bluetooth Serial ports and connecting cellphones (Modem and SMS).
But the pain of not having a 100% reliable connection, is more frustrating than using a cable...

I see no reason to make laugh on man. What he asked is perfectly reasonable. There are lots of mobile devices that do not have WiFi but they do have Bluetooth.

give a practical example of this. bluetooth can only transfer files, it is no substitution to wifi

Heh, Instead of the beeps at startup, have a mp3 sound.. :lol:

But was thinking, could be trippy to have a bluetooth PAN option.. :D

Be fun supporting all the dongles AND keep the ROS install smallish though. :)

Dude, you're in the complete wrong forum.
This forum has nothing to do with Playstation 3, gaming, consumer products or bluetooth for that matter, although this specific thread tries does mention it.

Agreed, it isn't a substitution for WiFi, but it is a suitable alternative to a wired USB or serial connection.

The most obvious example I can think of is using Bluetooth to link (tether) a cell phone to a RouterOS box allowing the phone to be used as a modem "wirelessly". In this mode, the functionality could theoretically be the same as if it were plugged in via USB or serial.

I personally don't need this feature, but can easily see how it could be useful in some cases (like an in-car PAN to WiFi gateway - for mobile event hotspots, law enforcement, amongst others).

Have you aver used Bluettoth besides file transfer? It can substitute WiFi perfectly. BT connection allows devices to access Internet in similar manner as WiFi connection. There is no functional difference.

That is aceptable answer. I do not understand why MT stuff always comes with false answers like "you do not need it", or "that does not work" or similar. Isn't it better if you say how things really are: you do not want or you are not interested to provide what is asked for.

normis: one usefull application may be "proximity marketing".

I was working on a ebedded system with linux an Bluez stack to send multimedia messenges to all mobile phones with active bluetooth, but i have not skill programming in C and I could only do small tests.

I think it might be an interesting function....

(sorry for my bad english)

We use RouterBoard as unified wireless communication platform connected to 2G, 3G, WiFi and Satellite Services. Our implementations in Ports, Terminals and Production environments more and more also demanding bluetooth since maly PLC systems and their user panels do not use WiFi anymore but Bluetooth instead. They only need 20m radius and have less issues with overlapping, inband interference etc. So, from a professional perspective it is worth looking at it.

Hello everyone!

Any news on this topic?
I was hoping to have this feature to print hotspot vouchers directly to a BT Printer (Thermal)

Thanks!

Ok and why you should not take a HotSpot voucher printer with BT functionality
and connect connect this device to the router?
