Product Description

Get More Power, Use LessWith Bluetooth 5, you’ll experience faster connections—to more devices—from farther away. The PC Bluetooth Adapter is Bluetooth-certified and ideal for connecting to audio, IoT, and home automation devices that support Bluetooth 5. The adapter is also backward compatible with previous versions of Bluetooth. And because Bluetooth 5 uses less power than previous versions, you can stay connected longer. A useful feature when you’re connected to up to 7 devices. |
Go Faster, Go FartherThis Bluetooth PC adapter is fast. Twice as fast as Bluetooth 4, in fact. That means 5Mbps of data to satisfy even the most data hungry of IoT devices. And now, you can take that connection for a walk. With a more reliable and extended range, Bluetooth 5, lets you send your signal up to 40m so you can stay connected to your devices, even when you’re farther away. When used with Bluetooth 5 Low Energy devices, the range of the adapter can reach up to 40m/130ft indoors, compared to the 10m/32ft range of previous bluetooth standards. With the extended LE range of Bluetooth 5, wearables and IoT devices can send data at ranges up to 40m indoors. Bluetooth 5 has different operation modes. By default, the regular range is 10m. Modes for long-range operation require compatible devices. |
CompatibilityThe Plugable Bluetooth USB Adapter is compatible with Windows 11 and 10 PCs that don’t already have Bluetooth or have the ability to disable the existing adapter (Windows only supports a single Bluetooth adapter at a time). Supports Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy (BR/EDR + LE). Incompatible with Mac/Linux, game consoles, TVs, car stereos, sound systems, etc. Not recommended for employer-provided computers. |

Easy to connect
Works great.
Got it on time
I simply took it out of the box and plugged it in, took a few moments for my computer to read and set it up. From there it was ready, I plugged in my JLabs wireless headset and it found the Bluetooth instantly.
Watched a few videos on YouTube and tested it out on Teams, no issues at all. I’m happy it works!

However, one big minus for me is that the range where BT can be seen and used has more than halved. I had assumed that going to such a small dongle type device would have some impact on range (how could it not?) but this was substantial. Prior to this device I could wear my BT headphones in another room or two rooms over without skipping a beat, or keep my phone paired with the PC on a different floor. Now these devices drop off just beyond the hallway to the office where the PC sits.
It is noted in the specs but it also bears repeating: Windows only supports ONE Bluetooth adapter, so to use this one I had to enter the UEFI setup screen and disable the on-board BT function. Once that was done the new dongle worked fine.
Put this in the usb port and you have bluetooth again for your phone. And forget the audio cable which might do the trick as well.
Worked as expected given my experience with the bluetooth 4.x module I had for years.
