❑Distance between devices
❑Material used in walls
❑Proximity to microwaves and cordless telephones
❑Radio frequency interference and other environmental conditions
❑Device configuration
❑Type of software application
❑Type of operating system
❑Use of both wireless LAN and Bluetooth functions at the same time on your computer
❑Size of file being exchanged
❑Large files may occasionally be corrupted during continuous transfer due to limitat ions of the Bluetooth standard and
