Extending wiimotes range?

[anatomi]

I'm currently streaming dolphin via Steam IHS from one end of the apartment to the other. Works well enough for GC and pad-friendly Wii games.

But now I'm itching for some Mario Galaxy . Host and client are separated by 10 meters and a couple of walls. I was initially thinking of getting a Dolphinbar and USB extensions, but I'd rather avoid the cable clutter.

Anyone know if would be feasible to extend the wiimote range by installing a super-stong Bluetooth adapter on the host? Is it enough to boost the signal on the host end? Or do the wiimote signals need a kick up as well?

10 meters through walls? Bluetooth is very low power... Honestly the long cable idea is probably the best option. :/ Other than that, maybe get a bluetooth adapter with an antenna? Just make sure it supports Bluetooth 2.1 and EDR (enhanced data rate). Sorry I don't have better news.

What OS is your client running? There is software allowing you to mount a USB device from your client to your server. I do this with my raspberry pi and dolphin bar.

Both client and host are Win 10, unfortunately. I've googled around for a USB-over-network server that's compatible with Win, but haven't really found anything that's free (USB/IP server doesn't run on Win).

That said, there are some paid alternatives I'm looking into. Or get a Pi, but I don't want more gadgets than absolutely necessary.
