What are the differences between Wi-Fi and the Bluetooth wireless technology?

The Bluetooth wireless technology and Wi-Fi are complementary technologies, enjoy both all in one dongle and free up a USB port.

The Bluetooth wireless technology is designed to replace cables between mobile phones, laptops and other computing and communication devices within a 10-meter range.

Wi-Fi is a wireless Ethernet; it provides an extension or replacement of wired networks for dozens of computing devices. Operating distance, up-to 100 meters indoor and up-to 400 meters outdoors.

Ethernet explained (don't fall asleep) Local-area network (LAN) architecture developed by Xerox Corporation in co-operation with DEC and Intel in 1976. Ethernet uses a bus or star topology and supports data transfer rates of 10 Mbps. The Ethernet specification served as the basis for the IEEE 802.11b standard, which specifies the physical and lower software layers. Ethernet uses the CSMA/CD access method to handle simultaneous demands. It is one of the most widely implemented LAN standards.
