How does Bluetooth work?

In today’s society, All modern computing devices are wireless by means of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Bluetooth is a wireless protocol that uses wavelength to transmit information, allowing different Bluetooth-enabled devices to exchange data or files over short distances.

The RF transceiver Bluetooth-enabled devices, function in the unlicensed ISM band which is centered at 2.4GHz, which is also used by Wi-Fi networks and microwaves. The core system of Bluetooth technology is the fact that employs a frequency-hopping transceiver to help mitigate any interference or fading.

Bluetooth’s radio waves are different than that of traditional radio waves – they are constantly switching frequencies and only travel short distances (about 30 feet), and the distance may be reduced when obstacles, like a wall, are present.

If you need to fix Bluetooth problems in windows, follow the steps listed at the bottom of this article.

 

How Secure is Bluetooth?

Any device that connects through a Bluetooth connection is generally safe and secure from hackers. Bluetooth constantly changes the frequencies of the wavelength consecutively and repeatedly – this is also known as frequency hopping. It ensures your Bluetooth devices can’t be hacked by the way of the signal.

 

How to use Bluetooth in Windows 10

  1. In order for your computer to interface with the Bluetooth device, both devices need to be in pairing mode. Accomplish this within the Bluetooth settings of each device.
  2. Open up Windows Settings and navigate to “Devices“, then select “Bluetooth” on the left pane.
  3. Enable Bluetooth (Make sure it’s switched to “On“). Your PC will begin to search for nearby devices.
  4. Select the device that you’re connecting to and select Pair.

Once you’ve clicked on Pair, your Windows 10 computer should take care of the rest – showing “Connected” under the device’s name. Another way of connecting is by using the shortcut – Windows key + A. This will bring up Quick actions, where you can connect to the device from the list.
