    • Excellent Replacement Dongle - Highly Recommended!
I recently purchased this dongle to replace the damaged onboard one in my PC, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. It works flawlessly and lives up to its advertised promises. Installation was a breeze; I simply plugged it in, and my system recognized it immediately. The connection is stable, and I haven't experienced any dropouts or lag. The dongle has seamlessly integrated into my setup, providing a reliable and speedy wireless connection. I appreciate the compact design of the dongle, which doesn't protrude awkwardly from my PC. Its unobtrusive form factor is a definite plus for those concerned about space or aesthetics. The performance is on par with, if not better than, the original onboard dongle. I've noticed improved signal strength and faster data transfer rates, making it a worthwhile upgrade for anyone looking to enhance their wireless connectivity. Overall, I am highly satisfied with this dongle, and I confidently recommend it to others in need of a reliable replacement. It has exceeded my expectations, and the reasonable price makes it an excellent value for the performance it delivers. Don't hesitate to invest in this dongle if you're seeking a hassle-free solution for your wireless connectivity needs. ... show more

    • Does as advertised and does it well!
This adapter arrived promptly and did exactly what I needed it to do. My desktop PC lacked Bluetooth capabilities and I needed a solution to use my Bose QuietComfort IIs for watching videos from across the room at night time. Drivers installed automatically in a flash and I immediately had the option to pair to devices - I haven't had a single drop in audio or audio quality since, even walking over a few rooms. Added bonus that it works just fine for pairing Xbox controllers to the PC as well! ... show more

    • Must Have
My PC doesn't come with Bluetooth and I wanted to connect headphones and a controller. This worked instantly and was so easy. Definitely a must have if you're looking for a reliable Bluetooth link. Recommend getting the 5.0 version

    • My husband's works, mine--I'm struggling
When we first connected my headphones to the computer via this adapter, it took a little work to figure out how to make it work. Once we got it connected, it sounded and worked great. However, a couple days later I was using the headphones with my phone--which connected to the headphones again without issue--then when I went to connect to the computer again, I could not get them to connect. I tried several different things, including disconnecting and reconnecting, but did not get them to work. My husband has the same adapter and headphones, with the same difficulties at first, but has since gotten everything to work and they continue to work. However, he ONLY uses his headphones with the computer. It would be nice if they made it easier to connect and reconnect after using with other media. ... show more

    • Works Fine with a quick driver download
I installed the TP-Link BT dongle today and it works just fine. I an using it to connect an Echo Dot to my PC as the onboard mobo BT stopped working. Rather than troubleshooting an older BT standard (4.X) I disabled the onboard/integrated BT in my bios downloaded and installed the driver from TP-Link. The packaging and actual TP-link dongle say BT 5.0 but if you download the right driver from the mfg site Windows will report 5.3. As other posters have mentioned you should download the right driver for your hardware version. That can be found on the box. For example, I was shipped h/w 1.6 ... show more

    • Great Bluetooth Adapter for cheap
Love this adapter it was a simple plug and play no install or workaround needed to get it to work unlike some I have used in the past. It instantly gave my desktop PC the ability to connect to my soundbar for sound and the quality is great. There is no feedback issue or latency that I can tell of. Im sure and audiophile may find some but this works for me and I love it. ... show more
