Typically, what is the range of a BT Hotspot?

I am assuming the use of a laptop without external aerials etc.
I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".

    Its easy enough to measure as its the exact same as the bt router the signal its sent from . In my case just outside the front door .

    Thank you. So you are saying that a BT Hotspot Premium Venue Hotspot is exactly the same specification as a domestic BT router. I wondered whether such a Hotspot would have a higher specification.

    I was wondering whether a Hotspot at a location such as a Tesco supermarket would for instance cover the whole of the car park and the perimeter beyond.

    You did not ask about Premium .
    But yes the bigger stores etc have repeaters but very much hit and miss as to when and where you get a signal . That can be due to the building for one .
