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)

Works really well. I can walk around my whole house and it doesn’t start to lose connection until I’m outside. Since it’s through usb it’s super simple to install. I’d definitely buy one of these again.

I am very impressed with the TP-Link USB Bluetooth Adapter for PC. This little device has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and ease of use. Setting it up was incredibly simple. It was truly plug and play on my Windows 11 desktop, and the drivers installed automatically without any issues. The adjustable antenna is a fantastic feature that helps extend the range significantly. I am able to maintain a stable connection even when my Bluetooth headphones are in another room.

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.

Ours is a NetGear house, so I don't know why I ordered a TP-Link. I say this because my 5 stars is a meaningful review, in spite of not normally going for TP-Link equipment. This was very easy to install and configure, and it works flawlessly. Which is good because I'm using it on a Dell Latitude that's only 1 or 2 years old, but the Bluetooth has always had an intermittent problem.

Boosts my wifi and bluetooth range further than what came with the motherboard!! Just requires some setup. Very fast!

Excellent BT (bluetooth) connectivity! This unit replaced my other plug-in BT 5.3 usb device that does not have the antenna. This existing plug-in BT device was to replace the built-in BT device of my mini PC running Windows 11.I use BT for my wireless keyboard with buil-in touch pad in my home theater. Before this unit, my keyboard’s touch pad had lots of lag. I initially suspected it was the keyboard, so I ended up ordering two (2) more. They all ended up having the same lag where the touchpad would not track properly. I would move my finger across the touchpad and the mouse on the screen would not move or move several seconds later or erratically.Looking for a possible replacement keyboard, I noticed that customers complained about the general lag with other BT keyboards. It dawned on me then that the BT lag issue was most likely due to the BT adapter’s signal strength. So I ended up purchasing this new BT adapter with the antenna. Now with this new BT adapter, all previous touch pad lag has gone. I now have two (2) BT keyboards connected simultaneously and can use both keyboards with zero lag! If you currently encounter lag issues with your BT keyboard with built-in touch pad, I highly recommend this BT 5.3 adapter with antenna!

Bought this to see if it would help in a dense work environment where a Thinkpad's built-in bluetooth was laggy (from a Logitech mouse about 2ft away). Disabled the onboard chip and installed this and now everything is rock solid, buttery smooth. Shame there's not an easy to use tool that will help you diagnose that you have degraded signal to begin with (could come from a number of different places), but this is a good starting point if you're desperate like I was.

I am very happy with this Bluetooth device! It has significantly improved the range of my KS hearing aids, which used to cut out as soon as I stepped 4–5 feet away from my laptop. Now, the range is well over 10 feet, and I can move around without any interruptions. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to extend their device's Bluetooth range!PS. After extended use, I can say that when it works, it works great. However, I’ve lowered my rating from 5 stars to 3 because it occasionally fails to function, likely due to either a hardware or driver issue. After unplugging it from the USB once, it took me hours to get it working again—with no clear idea of what finally fixed it. Unfortunately, TP-Link’s customer support was unhelpful, as they simply collected information without offering a real solution.
