Hi,
Thanks for your reply. In investigating my Bluetooth device, I discovered that
it is not an extender. In fact, it is both a Bluetooth and wifi device. When I
bought it, I guess I was not paying attention. I am going to get something that
is an extender.
But the puzzle is still that the device I have generally works with JAS 2021,
but doesn’t with JAWS 2022 or 2023. I wonder what makes the difference.

Without knowing 100% of the specs on the Bluetooth extender, Bluetooth range is
only around 30 feet. It’s possible that you’re just on the edge of that! That
sort of sounds like what I’ve encountered when I’ve tested the range on mine
that things are just a bit sluggish. I’ve never had the restarts in jaws though.

Hi All,
I like to have my Mantis bluetoothed to my windows 10 machine. When I do this I
am sitting in my living room and my computer is a bit of a distance away. It is
probably just around 30 feet. I am using a Bluetooth extender for my Mantis.
When using JAWS 2021 all is well with the exception of some minor connecting
issues when I first start using the setup each day.
However, when I have tried to use JAWS 2022 and now 2023, all heck breaks
loose. For both of them the braille display slows to a crawl, and eventually
either JAWS shuts down, the Mantis disconnects from Bluetooth, or both. Does
anyone have an idea of what might be going on? Has anyone else had those
problems with JAWS 2022 and 2023?
I am using a Dell computer that I got in 2011, but it does have 12 gb of ram.
Thanks for any help! I will also be talking to Vispero.
Take care and have fun!
Debby
