Distance isn't important. Connecting to an existing network is. BT, USB or whatever is limitied to controlling one host.
Once you're on the network, controlling multiple machines [NOT simultaneously] is just one button-push away. And it's OS independent...
Besides, someone in South Africa did a connection over 1 km. Out in the desert, with two ESP8266 modules.
