I recently purchased a refurbished Mac mini to use as a home theater system. I also got a (used) wireless keyboard/mighty mouse to go along with it. I can not move more than 10 feet from the computer (straight shot, nothing in between) without losing either the mouse or keyboard connection. If I'm within about 5 feet everything is peachy-keen. It's only after I move farther than that when problems start to occur.
I tested both peripherals on a 24" aluminum iMac and they worked great. I even took it about twenty feet away through two walls and they were still working. I also ruled out wireless interference. I'm on a 5Ghz Wi-Fi network and have a DECT 6.0 phone handset: nowhere near the 2.4Ghz of Bluetooth.
So I've narrowed it down to the Mini and now I'm curious to know if anyone else is having similar problems. But more importantly, I want to know if you get a decent range from your Mini; somewhere around 20-30' with no obstacles.
