Yes to bluetooth. Sorry can you be more specific on the router question or dumb it down for me? :P I'm currently using a usb adapter for wireless wifi, but connected to 5g

Currently looking at this one, but if there's a better option I'm all for it

Mm.. I'd say at least 25-30ft

/e does this include the wifi range as well? or just for bluetooth connections

No just the blue tooth, so your sure its 30ft?
is there any obstructions between the device, EG walls,high power devices (stoves,washers etc)?

This is a class 2 device and should meet your need at 30ft though it needs to be obstruction free.

If there is an obstruction you need a class one receiver and also consider when you use bluetooth that it will operate on the lowest class between the two devices.
So if receiver is a class one and you keyboard is class three it will operate at class three thus being 10ft not 100ft

Yeah the only thing that might leave the room thats connected via bluetooth would be my airpods. Other than that might just have bluetooth mouse or keyboard down the line

Looked up airpod bluetooth range and its ab 33ft so 30+ is good

/e how do i know if its class one?

That's in ideal conditions, don't actually expect 30ft especially if there's an obstruction, additionally as stated above getting a class 1 receiver won't help.

/edit

class 3 - 10ft
class 2 - 30ft
class 1 - 100ft

refer to specs of the devices if they aren't specified.
