Bluetooth vs WiFi - What's the difference?

This is an animated video comparing Bluetooth vs Wifi. These are radio frequency technologies that are used for wirelessly connecting electronic devices. Bluetooth is for connecting devices to each other. And Wifi is for connecting devices to the internet.

I personally purchased both of these for my desktop.

This guy has no idea how much he had help me in my computer exams previously (hoping for future too!) I just subbed.

I love how the little Bluetooth speaker said "PAV" instead of "JBL" lol!

These animations really help to grasp some of these concepts a lot better since they are pretty abstract if you aren't used to them already. Much appreciated ❤

This guy explained 'em both in 4 minutes while my teacher takes 1 hour but still becomes no-brainer

It's a crazy coincidence that I just explained this to my dad yesterday, and now I have a supporting source! Haha

I am an old guy and a scientist, but have always kept up with technology. When bluetooth was being developed it was featured as a “personal” networking protocol. It then took a relatively long time to roll out. Bluetooth, by the way, was King Harald of Denmark, who unified the Danish tribes and was a big fan of blueberries. His subjects nicknamed him blue tooth!

Beautiful animation with a great explanation. However, you forgot to mention that modern Bluetooth protocols now require some sort of passcode to pair certain devices. I believe this is just a security measure to avoid unwanted, unauthorized or unrecognized Bluetooth connections from happening between certain devices.

Spectacular work; you do not understand how greatful i am having found your channel. I will watch these again and again!!

Your animations are spot on! Easy to understand and follow. Thank you for them.

It's amazing how the teachers on YouTube work out better than some lecturers at university somehow. But, I'm grateful for either teaching. Thank you for your time and effort to teach others. May your life be blessed 🙏 amen

since first video I've ever watched in this channel, I always feel, I should travel through time & show these videos to college lecturers & professors for better training.... thank you Sir (team) for making our lives simple &

I thought this was the best & simplest explanation of these two communication types that anyone would be able to understand...! Excellent job explaining it...!

Great and easy to follow info on the differences and how these technologies work. Great breakdown!!

Two points to mention: a) Bluetooth needs a password when pairing the devices; b) the purpose of Wi-Fi is primarily to form a network and then, if necessary, to connect to the internet via a router.

Excellent excellent explanation. Thank you for the graphics. Thank you for the narration and beautiful wording descriptors for each of those wireless connections.

Good overall view but lacking some of the newer features

1. Bluetooth now requests a passcode to connect (can still use a default preexisting passcode on some devices that don't support passcode entry).

2. WiFi is not only 2.4 GHz, it's also 5 GHz and 6 GHz now. There are also some non standard frequency ranges in use (I've seen 60 GHz listed). Lower the frequency the greater the range, higher the frequency the greater the speed but diminished range.

3. You can also run a network over Bluetooth, although it's slow and you would opt for WiFi instead if you had the choice

Wow! As always, thank you very much for the clear explanation! Keep safe Sir and God bless! ☺️

Superb video. Been using both for years, but never really understood the difference. This video made it crystal clear in a way that is understandable to the viewer. Really nice job, and thank you for doing it.

Excellent video. Explained something I had little idea about very clearly. I now understand a lot more than I did 10 minutes previously ! Bravo !
