Plugable USB-BT4LE USB Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy Micro Adapter

WORK PERFECTLY FOR WINDOWS HEAD SEAT

I have two of these - one in use with a Sony Vaio running Windows 7 and the other with a Samsung Netbook running Windows XP. The first one - in use with the Vaio - installed easily first time and performed exactly as expected; the second one - in use with the Samsung - was a lot more difficult to get working! My Samsung Netbook does not have an optical drive so I had hoped to get the dongle working with some Windows drivers and the custom software downloaded from the net - no chance! I am fairly computer-literate but after an hour or so of trying to get the wretched thing working I was about to send it back to Amazon as a failure. However - I persevered and eventually got it up and running so here are my tips for XP users. Firstly, don't bother with the Installation Wizard that pops up when the dongle is inserted - close it and forget it. Then forget the custom software download from the web - it just doesn't recognise its own dongle and Windows may try to block the download anyway. Don't hunt for Bluetooth drivers in Windows Update - there aren't any that work. The only way I could get this dongle working with XP was by installing the software from the provided CD - so if you are planning on installing it on a Netbook you will need to own or be able to borrow a USB optical drive. Then try this: insert the dongle into a USB socket and close the Installation Wizard when it pops up - ignore any error messages. Insert the CD into the optical drive and run it - follow the onscreen instructions until the software has loaded then reboot your computer. A final option box should then appear - choose your options and the Bluetooth should then be working OK - mine did! Once its working this is a good device so I will give it five stars for that, and running under Windows 7 is a doddle. It has also given my old Netbook a new lease of life - eventually! Good luck!

Mein Computer hat von Haus aus kein Bluetooth, dennnoch wollte ich sowohl Bluetooth-Kopfhörer als auch eine -Soundbar nutzen können. Dieser Adapter eignet sich dafür hervorragend! Günstig, äußerst klein und macht seinen Job hervorragend. Installation war Plug n Play (unter Windows 10). Seit über einem Jahr verrichtet der Adapter nun seinen Dienst (beinahe täglich) absolut zuverlässig. Entgegen einiger Rezensionen kann ich die Reichweite nur ausdrücklich loben. Selbst in der Küche (zwei Räume weiter) kann ich problemlos Musik hören - ohne Einschränkungen. Und da sind ein paar Wände dazwischen! Ähnlich wie bei W-LAN-Adaptern kann es natürlich Probleme bereiten, wenn man den USB-Stick direkt ins Gehäuse hinten einsteckt. Je nachdem wie viel Störquellen in unmittelbarer Nähe sind, kann es zu deutlichen Einschränkungen kommen. Wer den Adapter in einen USB-Hub, Tastatur / Bildschirm etc. einsteckt sollte deutlich weniger Probleme haben. Ich hatte nie Verbindungsabbrüche oder ähnliche Störungen und würde den Adapter jederzeit wieder kaufen. Uneingeschränkge Empfehlung von mir.

Risparmiatevi un mal di testa. Se cercate un dongle bluetooth senza dover essere "forzati" ad un pcie che comprende anche wifi, optate per questa marca. Davvero. Penso di aver provato qualcosa come 5 dongle diversi. Va bene tutto, interferenze, quello che volete. Ma io non ho avuto NESSUN problema con questo dongle. Gli altri non appena connettevo piu di un dispositivo (e alcuni erano anche protocollo 5.0), dopo qualche oretta cominciavano a dare problemi. E allora li comincia il: stacca-riattacca-riavvia-reinstalla i drivers-eccetera. Seriamente, è una di quelle sciocchezze che a furia di perderci tempo, ti rovina le giornate e di conseguenza la produttività a l'umore. Ottimo il servizio clienti e anche le accortezze sull'usare porte usb 2.0 invece che 3.0 per evitare interferenze. Si percepisce quanto sia importante ricevere un feedback positivo per plugable sull'utilizzo piuttosto che vendere il prodotto e basta come altri competitor. Assolutamente consigliato.

Good product. Plug and play for Linux devices

This adapter works perfectly no ubuntu 22.04. Simply plug-in and doesn't require the extra driver installation on my local machine. Sooooo convenient, very nice product. Recommend to anyone that using ubuntu ~22.04 version
