Hi, I have a bit of a tricky setup. My PC is located upstairs in my home, paired with a 1080p 144Hz monitor. Right below it sits a 4K TV connected via HDMI cable and USB over LAN (USB 2.0). This allows me to play more first-person shooter games. My wife enjoys the TV but only uses a controller. When she sits on the sofa, her Bluetooth connection from the PS5 sometimes drops, causing poor gaming sessions. The controller works fine upstairs next to the PC. I’ve tried various Bluetooth boosters, mostly for audio gear. I’m unsure how to fix this—ideally I’d like a USB port that connects directly to the USB over LAN setup.

Have you explored the standard USB adapter? It could function through the LAN adapter.

Purchase a Bluetooth range extender and find options available on Amazon for about $40.00.

It wasn't unexpected at all. Before I explored further, I had no idea such innovations existed. Imagine the transformation—computers shrinking from large rooms to wrist-worn devices that rival their predecessors while being far more affordable. In my reply, I hope we can share this understanding with others who were once in the dark. Remember, without spreading knowledge, it fades quickly.

Because you quoted me, I assumed the message was addressed to me. Someone I can no longer reach apologized for what they thought was a sarcastic comment. But as I mentioned, my response was directed at you, thinking I didn’t know about Bluetooth Range Extenders and assuming you didn’t either. This is what I observed in your reply and the expression on your face: "Are you still crazy? A Bluetooth Range Extender? I’ve never heard of such a ridiculous thing!" I’m sorry for the confusion.

I should mention the .gif you got from me. I assumed it was clear. For fun, have you ever come across something like this before? Edited November 4, 2022 by Thomas4 Added by Query

And now you've overlooked how to reference quotes... Ugh, really? I need to search that for you. Looking at recent discussions on forums, it seems many people are sharing similar experiences with Bluetooth issues. For your setup, a Bluetooth Range Extender might help, but be cautious—some options add noticeable delay, which isn't ideal for precise controller use. If you want a more reliable solution, consider a USB BT dongle and connect it to the existing cable.
