Final Talk
Bluetooth devices have a very limited range. Therefore, the devices must be kept closer so as to maintain connectivity and also for better functioning. If due to any reason you are unable to keep them close, then there are Range extenders available in the market that increase your PC’s range.
It is recommended not to use the software in such cases, as they are just another ‘marketing idea’ used by companies. They won’t do any good and in the worst case, it can harm your computer system by installing unwanted programs.
