What do you mean by Bluetooth tunnel? I'm curious about that setup.

Maybe it was something like a Raspberry Pi that he placed at that cafe? Curious that his Bluetooth had more reach than the Wifi itself though. Maybe with a directional antenna. Agree, would be interesting to know his setup.

The best signal was had by hanging my phone from the ceiling. Since the phone itself was connected to the cafe Wifi, I couldn't use wifi to connect to the phone. So I shared the phone's (cafe wifi) internet over Bluetooth. (I didn't know that was a thing until I tried it!)

(I think I was able to connect to that with another phone and set up a wifi hotspot for all my devices... but it's been a while!)
