Nearby Connections Advertise method

Does the Nearby Connections API advertise through Wifi and Bluetooth, or just Bluetooth? My experimentation with the API shows that I can't find any device beyond ~30 meters which makes me think that it's using Bluetooth.

I know that the Cluster strategy is Bluetooth only, but if the strategy is set to Star, will the API use wifi for advertise?

As of today, all 3 strategies (CLUSTER, STAR, POINT_TO_POINT) only use Bluetooth for advertising and discovery.

No promises that this will always be the case. More technologies (like WiFi) may be added in the future.
