neobyte Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) I have been trying to find a wireless router that speaks wifi b/g, preferably n also, as well as bluetooth. I know this is a bit of an unusual request, and I have had no luck finding one so far. I should add that I have recently checked both the Cisco website and the Netgear website, and neither offer such a router. Do any of you guys know of a wireless router with bluetooth?

Norwat Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Mmmmm just my 2cent, but couldnt you install openwrt on a device a try to configure a bluetooth usb dongle on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Don't think you will be able to find a consumer router that has bluetooth unless as stated by Norwat, that could work. If you don't mind me asking, why do you want bluetooth on a router for, isn't WI-FI already sufficient? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metatron Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I don't know of anything like that, there were a few standalone Bluetooth AP on the market but they were fairly shitty and are no loner being made, I use to have a few Siemens Blue2net but gave the last one to Noisebridge, they used embedded Linux and came with all the source code. Your best bet is to get something like a cheap Linksys WRT160NL as its the Linux version of one of their newer n routers and has USB support.

Biut Raj Tahpa Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Wow, Wow, Wow.. Can a WiFi router can be reprogramed to Bluetooth???????????/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Might be easier to build a router like Darren did with untangle, and install one of these - http://www.axiontech.com/prdt.php?item=94142 Not sure how well it would do the job, but might be an interesting project.
