Why is my Bluetooth connection slow?

The data transfer speed depends on the obstacles and/or the distance between the two devices, but also on the radio wave
quality, on the operating system or the software used. Try to move your computer or try to place the two devices closer.
The 2.4 GHz radio frequency used by Bluetooth and wireless LAN devices is also used by other devices. Bluetooth devices
incorporate technology that minimizes interference from other devices using the same wavelength, however, communication
speed and connection range may be reduced. Interference from other devices may also stop communication altogether.
Connection availability is affected by distance and obstructions. You may need to move your computer away from obstructions
or closer to the device to which it is connected.
Identify and remove obstacles between your computer and the device to which it is connected.
Note that due to limitations of the Bluetooth standard, large files may occasionally be corrupted during continuous transfer
due to electromagnetic interference from the environment.
