UGREENBluetooth 5.4 Adapter for PC, Long Range USB Dongle (BR+EDR+BLE), Wireless Transfer for Bluetooth Mouse Keyboard Headphones Speakers, Desktop, Laptop-Win11/10/8.1 Support

A Windows update tanked my PC's Bluetooth 4 months ago, and I've been through every possible hoop in terms of downloading, installing, uninstalling, rolling back drivers, reading help forums and generally screaming into the void. I balked at the idea of spending money to replace a perfectly functional piece of hardware, but it just got to be too cumbersome to use wired-everything in my work. I had a 7 pm meeting today, this little adapter arrived in my mailbox at 6:58 and by 7:02 I was back to using my wireless mouse and earbuds and in the meeting. It is literally the easiest experience I've had: plugged it in and suddenly my system had Bluetooth again. That's worth the price alone.No information on range or other technical stats as of yet, but it meets my needs so far. I'll update if it should fall short.

My laptop is about 10 years old, and its built-in Wi-Fi is… well, let's just say it's seen better days. This UGREEN Bluetooth 5.4 adapter has been a lifesaver. For my use, it was completely plug and play – no complicated setup required. It's given me a much more reliable Wi-Fi connection. Beyond that, I've also found it incredibly useful for expanding my Bluetooth coverage. I have a PC in my living room connected to my TV, and the motherboard's built-in Bluetooth wasn't cutting it for my controller. This adapter solved that problem perfectly. So, whether you're dealing with an aging laptop or just need better Bluetooth range, this UGREEN adapter is a great solution.

Has horrible latency. Using a dualsense over ds4windows and it was telling me i have 30ms and its definitely noticeable. Was previously using an asus 5.0 adapter before this which got under 10ms but would intermittently have interference issues which i was hoping this would alleviate due to the antenna and it being bluetooth 5.4. Ended up just getting a usb extension cord and ran the Asus 5.0 dongle closer to my desk because before it was plugged into backside of my computer which is on the floor and rather far away. Its been working like a charm, get that one instead, and if you have connection issues just do what i did and run it closer to you.

I bought a pair of Sony 1000-XM5 headphones and wanted to connect them to my work computer which does not have built-in Bluetooth. I tried a simple Insignia dongle purchased at BestBuy, but it did not work, as it never “saw” the headphones for pairing. However, this dongle worked like a charm: it was plug-and-play. No hassle. No need for I.T. to mess around with drivers, etc.

I'm using this to have a stronger signal further from my PC, and it seems to work well enough - but still isn't always a rock solid connection.

Windows 11 Pro on a GigaByte z590 Aorus Water Force board. OEM Bluetooth on board sucked! Garbled and intermittent sound and voice and supper short range(~15') drove me nuts. Disabled the intel bluetooth, removed all current bluetooth devices, shut down PC, plugged in this adapter to an available USB 3 port, rebooted PC. Repaired my bluetooth headphones in a heartbeat. They have worked flawlessly since, good sound quality and do not cutout anywhere in my house, about 60' in my house but no issues at that distance! fixing or updating crappy bluetooth with this adapter is a snap, I would recommend!

I added this adapter to my main gaming rig after the internal bluetooth / wifi card died. It not only work flawlessly, but it also adds a decent amount of range to my Bluetooth reception. Sometimes I stream music from my PC to an Anker speaker and now I can move the speaker anywhere in the house without it dropping the signal. I may actually buy another one to have as a backup because two is one and one is none.

Running Linux Mint on an HP Elite Desk. Doesn't register. No Linux drivers could be found on their website or anywhere. Works fine in Windows but beware if you are a Linux user as the description does say Linix compatible.
