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 on Linux and has great range in my house. Installed it in my desktop computer upstairs and it was able to go through 2 floors, past the first floor and into the basement. Far better range than the thumbnail USB dongle that I was using before. Best of all, on Kubuntu 25.10 (Linux kernel 6.17) it worked perfectly. It was a simple plug and play. 😅

Everything is connected so far with the TP-Link USB Bluetooth 5.3 Adapter Long Range Receiver including my Anker Headphone and Playstation 4&5 Controller without any issue.

Solved my Bluetooth connectivity issues on my wireless network. Plug and play and was able to connect my AirPods on Windows 11 desktop. Sometimes it’s better to have a separate Bluetooth adapter.

Estuve meses intentando de todo para que el Bluetooth de mi PC recién armada funcionara y nada solucionó mi problema. Las antenas Wifi de mi motherboard funcionan perfectamente pero la función de BT nunca jaló por más que la configuré con Windows 11, hasta que conseguí este dispositivo. Solo se conecta y funciona al instante, no necesitas hacer más, ni descargar/instalar otra cosa. Pero es muy importante que antes de conectarlo primero desactives el Bluetooth que viene de fábrica en tu PC (en Windows, busca "Administrador de Dispositivos" y ahí seleccionas la opción de deshabilitar). En el caso de que previamente ya tuvieras emparejado algún dispositivo Bluetooth (controles de Xbox/PS, audífonos, mouse, etc) primero elimínalos de la PC, conectas el receptor y ahora sí los vuelves a emparejar para que no te de errores. Si se te olvidó hacer esto antes de conectar el receptor, no pasa nada: •Desactiva el BT del receptor en "Administrador de dispositivos" (no es necesario que lo desconectes). •Reactiva el BT de tu PC para desemparejar los dispositivos que tengas, al final lo desactivas. •Vuelves a activar el BT de tu receptor y ya puedes usarlo con normalidad. Usar controles de Xbox, Playstation, audífonos Bluetooth o hardware inalámbrico, etc, todo eso que suena tan básico por fin lo puedo hacer gracias a este receptor.

This is admittedly only a Bluetooth 5.3 dongle, which means it is not the latest and greatest. However, the latest and greatest is not always the best. I added this dongle to an old Asus A88X-PRO motherboard machine which I have managed to upgrade to Windows 11 25H2 despite Microsoft's protestations and machinations. The machine is running well, but had no Bluetooth ability. So I decided to add that. It has a remarkable range. I am running the PC on the top floor of our house. There is an exterior wall between the Bluetooth antenna and the outside world. Despite that I could manage to keep an Anker Bluetooth soundblock playing the music from YouTube from my PC while I walked 70 feet down the road from the house. At around 70 feet the sound started to stutter. It certainly worked 100% into every single room in this three storey Canadian house, including the basement. So, I am very happy with it. Unfortunately, as usual, Windows lets it down in trying to pair with Bluetooth keyboards, but that is a Windows failure and not a problem with the dongle. Perhaps some people still have hope that Microsoft will one day understand what its clients actually want. I am not one of those people.
