Long Range USB Bluetooth 5.1 Adapter for PC USB Bluetooth Adapter Wireless Audio Dongle 328FT / 100M 5.1 Blue Tooth Transmitter Receiver for Desktop Laptop PC with Windows 11/10/8/8.1/7

I had bought this unit to replace one that I had been using from MPOW, which seemed to work perfectly fine in the past but lately had been playing games with me. In fact, one of its tricks was to work perfectly well on Linux running on a Virtual Machine INSIDE of Windows, but NOT actually working on the Windows host itself! (not even Windows 11 either...) Sometimes it would, sometimes it wouldn't - depended on what kind of mood it was in I guess. Often times I would have to "forget" the device entirely from the menu in order for what I was connecting to it to be recognized on the next plugin.Not anymore - EDUP rescued me from that despair, confusion and misery. This bluetooth adapter was PLUG AND PLAY all the way. Recognized immediately, drivers were installed or identified automatically, and no hacky 3rd-party software to deal with (you never know, afterall). It has a range of about 20 feet I would say, and that's inside a home with REALLY thick insulation between the walls - at least compared to how average homes are constructed nowadays. So it would probably be much further in an open office environment for instance. I really like the antenna do, I do believe it's functional and not just for looks - though it looks cool too.Thank you, "LOVE!"

A pleasure doing business with 'em

My experience is exactly that of Michelle and Tim's. This item only comes with an install mini-CD... and many laptops today don't have an optical drive. (The other Bluetooth dongle I bought for my desktop had both a mini-cd and a thumbdrive). In all fairness it was fairly easy to go to the website and download the installation software. However on installation, it kept giving me an error involving supposed "unauthorized" Bluetooth components (I'd guess the internal Realtek Bluetooth device already in the laptop), as well as Realtek and Intel driver errors.I later found the real issue was with Intel, which insists on installing their own Bluetooth drivers-- even though an Intel Bluetooth device isn't installed. The fix for this: Control Panel / Device Manager / Remove Intel driver (be sure the microscopic box is checked that removes the software itself). Reboot... and this device works fine. You will have to do this EVERY TIME Windows updates drivers. Windows is a pain.Range depends on elevation. When I first installed it on the front USB port of my computer, the range was no better than my prior micro USB dongle. In order to get better range I had to attach it to a shelf about 3 ft higher. desktop computer that is sitting on the floor... chances are the range on this will be no better than a micro-dongle. You may need to raise the device higher.The installation and setup was more complex than a Bluetooth connection should be. Once I managed to get it to work, it later re-connected with no problem. But because of Intel drivers, this device does not install as easily as it should. The Intel drivers AND SOFTWARE must be totally removed from your computer.The positive note: once all this hassle was done, the device does what I bought it for: it extended my Bluetooth range without a skip or glitch. So it's okay... but the other one I purchased was a lot easier to install. Still, if the Intel drivers are completely removed from your computer, this installs and works well.

It's cheap. Oh it's cheap, and my system apparently didn't like trying to trying to install this system's bluetooth configuration. This lead me on a 6 hour goosechase following guides across the internet and gutting my system's programs trying to make this work. I gave up. In addition, the install booklet I received was in Mandarin Chinese (simplified). I don't know any Mandarin Chinese, at all. I used google translate on my phone to get rough translations as for what to do. If you know Mandarin, you may get further than I did.At least this thing is cheap so I wasn't too annoyed by its trouble.

I am constantly using my earbuds with my phone and my laptop whenever I'm out on my motorcycle or when I'm working on things around my home. But when I use my desktop I have to use my corded USB headset because Bluetooth wasn't a thing when I built this monster. So I bought this "Long Range" Bluetooth transmitter in order to finally use my earbuds with my gaming machine. It was a simple plug and play, my computer saw it, installed the drives, allowed me to easily connect to my ear buds. Once I was able to hear my desktop audio playing in my head I was in heaven..... then I was quickly thrown into hell as I had the audacity to go to the kitchen to get a drink out of the fridge. The audio started sputtering and then silence shortly followed then the "oh huh" sound of the emotionless lady who lives in my ear buds saying "Connection Lost". I know what you are thinking "you walked out of range" or "you put too many walls between you and the transmitter". FYI while wearing my USB headset I can walk to the fridge without taking off the headset because its that close, I never lost line of sight with the transmitter. After I sat down and got it to reconnect it was ok for a moment then it started sputtering again and cutting out as I was in a death stare with the transmitter. This POS is a crappier Bluetooth transmitter than the one in my water damaged phone. Do yourself a favor and don't buy this, the price is the only thing nice about this thing.
