How does Bluetooth work?īluetooth uses short-range radio waves to “pair,” or connect, nearby devices. Let’s take a closer look at each technology to get a better understanding. The “internet of things” refers to all the smart devices we use in every room of our homes that have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi capabilities.Ī device labeled as “smart” might connect via either of these two technologies, and sometimes it can be hard to know which one you are using.
You may have noticed these items all have one thing in common - they are a part of the IoT (internet of things). Here’s some familiar ones you may already own: Try to determine if those devices are working on Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or both. Need more help telling the difference? Let’s think about some devices that you use in your home. That’s Bluetooth.īut, if you want to perform a Google search on that same iPad, you will need Wi-Fi service. So, for example, if you are trying to connect that iPad keyboard to your iPad, you can do that without being in range of an internet connection. The main difference between the two technologies is that Bluetooth does not require internet access, while Wi-Fi does. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are not the same thing, though they do sometimes serve similar functions. Thank You for any advice you have or sharing your experience with either of the printers.No. I know that the ipads reliably reconnect to our wifi automatically when we come back in the store with them so I am ASSUMING (dangerous) that they will automatically be able to print since the printer will be there on the same wifi and always hooked up to the wifi (the printer stays in the store all the time, only the ipads leave) Hello, please share your experience.is it possible to use multiple ipads with the wifi reciept printer since they are not directly connected (I assume)? Also, being that its not directly connected how well does the wifi printer work as compared to the bluetooth printer? Is the wifi slower to start printing? Also, which one more reliably reconnects to be able to start printing again? We take the ipads out of the store often and people in the store are not tech savvy so I am trying to figure out which printer will work best and the ipad automatically reconnecting back to it.
