    Just want to make sure. Say I have a bluetooth USB adaptor that has a 100m range - am I right in guessing any device within that range will connect successfully to the PC regardless of said device's own range?

    It is what it's.

    No.

    If one device can broadcast up to 100 metres and the other can only broadcast up to 10 metres, they cannot communicate with each other at distances greater than 10 metres!

    Think about..

    A sends to B, they are 90m apart. A can transmit 100m while B can transmit 10m. A sends a message to B asking for some info, B recieves it the message but cannot see A as it is out of range, thus preventing A recieving a message from B.

    Regardless of that example, the pairing process requires information to be sent in both directions, so its unlikely you will even get that far!
