    Hi

    Is it possible to use bluetooth in the same way you would use a wireless router to set up a wireless network

    I have to setup a wireless network in work (against my advice)
    Its access in just 1 room with possibly 2-3 clients connecting at 1 time
    Someone suggested Bluetooth and i'm just investigating

    Cheers

    If its all in the same room, wired would be your best bet, then a decent 802.b/g access point.. bluetooth just wouldn't cut it for more than one user.. its slow enough as it is (aournd 2Mbit/sec) plus not all laptops (presuming its not going to be used for connecting to mobiles) have bluetooth cards by default, and if they do they mightn't have the range necessary.
