TP-Link USB Bluetooth Adapter for PC, Bluetooth 5.3 Long Range Receiver, Plug and Play, Adjustable Antenna, Supports Windows 11/10/8.1/7 for Desktop, Laptop, PS5/PS4/Xbox Controller (UB500 Plus)

The TP-Link USB Bluetooth Adapter is exactly what I needed to add Bluetooth capabilities to my desktop PC—and it does the job flawlessly. It's small and unobtrusive, and I don’t even notice it once it’s plugged in.Setup was straightforward and painless. I just inserted it into a USB port, installed the driver from the included CD (or downloaded the latest version online), and within minutes, I was pairing my headphones and phone. The connection has been solid—no dropouts or lag—even when streaming music or transferring files.I was impressed with the signal range too. I can move from one room to another and still maintain a stable connection, which is great for listening to music while walking through my house.Overall, this adapter is affordable, dependable, and very easy to use. If your PC lacks Bluetooth or you want a better connection than onboard solutions, this is a smart upgrade. Highly recommend!

I kept experiencing connection issues with my Bluetooth Xbox controller on my Windows 11 PC, so I decided to buy this adapter. I've had it for a few weeks now, and all the connection problems are gone. It works perfectly. No drivers needed, easy to connect, and also works with my phone and headphones.

Very simple to set up! The bluetooth driver on my laptop stopped working and I haven't been able to find a fix. This is a great workaround! I had bluetooth running again in under 2 minutes and am able to connect multiple devices to my laptop.

Installation kind of chaotic:I had to talk to Deepseek and have it help me install the driver on my Windows 10 gaming PC. In the end after 5 install attempts using the default driver and then the specific driver from the support website, I was able to install the driver and disable my PC's default bluetooth driver that comes with the Intel CPU by:Turning off FirewallsTurning off Anti VirusAnd running the driver setup.exe as AdminThis kind of sketched me out so I thought I'd mention it in case anyone else bought this. I can say that worked and my computer didn't explode.Works Really well!Ok, lastly, I want to say I struggled with PS4 controllers not being able to connect to my PC and stay connected. In the past Idk how many things I tried to get the built in bluetooth card to work. I had the same issue with my last PC and so I thought I must be doing something wrong. The PS4 controllers would connect briefly but then disconnect often or whenever I tried connecting another one. SO I've have a hub with long cables all over the place just to be able to play wired with multiple controllers. I just want you to understand the trials I've endured to get a PS4 controller to simply work. Anyway, once this bad boy was up and running I've never had a problem and I could probably connect hundreds of controllers no problem, idk. But even with the installation difficulties, I love this thing like my own son.

I had just installed a new motherboard and cpu to upgrade to win 11. I was get some odd noise on my bluetooth headphones and decided to upgade my bluetooth dongle. I followed the mildly cryptic instructions, downloaded the driver file from the tp-link site and ran the setup file. This lead to a reboot followed by adding my blue tooth devices to the new usb adapter. this when quite easily and soon I was back up and running. The noise problem seems to be gone and bluetooth range seems better, but I can readily quantify how much.My previous blue tooth dongle was more than 5 years old and was made for a lower bluetooth spec (5.1?).I feel like the price is good and the little antenna seems to provide extended coverage.Good Luck.. Happy Days

I use this to connect my Airpods Pro 2nd gen to my laptop. Sound quality is perfect. Range is great, it keeps connection throughout my whole house basically.Just a tip: Put this at least 4-6 inches away from a WiFi USB dongle or Wireless RF USB Mouse Receiver if possible, because some interference can happen if they're plugged in right next to each other which did happen and diminish sound quality for me. However, that's not the fault of the manufacturers because it's an unavoidable fact of wireless communication, so I will not deduct a star.

I disabled all existing Bluetooth devices, both built-in and third-party, as instructed. Afterward, I had to contact tech support to locate the setup.exe file because their website features a multitude of products and devices, which required extensive scrolling. Once I installed the setup file and added my Bluetooth devices, I was extremely disappointed. I finally managed to connect my Bluetooth mouse after some effort. However, I encountered similar issues with my Bluetooth hearing aids. My hearing aids frequently cut out every other word, making it impossible to use them effectively. Consequently, I decided to revert to my original setup. I requested Windows to restore my original Bluetooth settings and then enabled my Bluetooth services in Device Manager. Given my limited technical expertise, I found the process to be more complicated than I had expected.

Just works. Seamless integration with Linux Mint and Fedora. Solid signal strength; up to 3 walls before any signal degradation.
