It doesn’t work with iPhones. I grabbed my mom’s Samsung and sure enough there were 3 MAC addresses with no name. There are 4 vaxxed in this house but one was off in his room. I will have to check again tomorrow when he’s wandering around the house.

Can you make sure they are not clutching their phones? Knowing there are no MAC addresses broadcast by their phones is the key. Can you test their phones for those? Thank you!
No one was clutching their phone, except the Samsung I was holding to test. The iPhones were locked. Then I picked one up and unlocked it and nothing changed. Still three unnamed MAC addresses on the Samsung. How do you know if a phone is broadcasting a MAC address?
If you take that phone and go away from other phones/houses, and check for mac addresses again, do you see any mac on your samsung? Then do the same without that phone - do you see any macs? If you don’t both times, means that that phone is “clean”. An empty park away from structures/buildings would be best, or a field.

Even better - close that phone inside a microwave oven and step away, see if the mac disappears. Don’t run the microwave lol! https://www.signalboosters.com/blog/top-12-materials-that-block-wifi-signals/

100m should be more than enough https://www.scienceabc.com/innovation/what-is-the-range-of-bluetooth-and-how-can-it-be-extended.html#:~:text=The%20range%20of%20Bluetooth%20depends%20on%20its%20class,at%20a%20range%20of%20less%20than%2010%20meters.
