This works at a Bluetooth 5.4 level if you're using a Linux kernel of 6.16+. I'm not sure what kernel number the driver was updated to that, but I can verify it with 6.16+. If you're Linux machine doesn't already have Bluetooth, then this is just an easy plug-and-play. If you've got one of those internal cards that combine both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and you're trying to stop the conflicts from the fight over the antenna and signals, then you'll have to disable the Bluetooth portion of your card or this will conflict with your existing hardware. Even if you're on Windows, you'd need to disable the internal Bluetooth hardware. Now, I can't speak for Windows, haven't used it in years, but on Linux, it's fairly simple to disable the Bluetooth without disabling the Wi-Fi. Now, why exactly is it that they say this only supports Windows and not Linux, when it clearly supports Linux? Here's my break down of it. If you're a Linux user, you might be interested to know this, because it can give you confidence when purchasing: #1: It didn't used to support Linux, but Linux added the support in the kernel around 5.8+. If you've got that or higher, you should be good. The higher kernel you have, the more features and upgrades you'll get out of it. #2: User manual. This thing is small and highly simplistic. All the instructions are "How to pair a device in Windows" kind of instructions. That very simple instruction can change drastically from Linux distro to distro, and DE to DE. They aren't going to kill that many trees for the instructions. This was so worth it. I was using one of those internal cards, but with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on the same chip, my music would cut out several times per minute while I was streaming. That's a big no go for me. This has fixed my issues, and all my streaming is now completely stable, for both the Wi-Fi and my Bluetooth, because this TP-Link Bluetooth dongle does not interfere with my internal Wi-Fi card. Finally, a stable Bluetooth connection that I can be happy with.

The built-in Bluetooth antenna in my computer kept going out, so I bought this one as a replacement. It was super easy to set up: just disable your current Bluetooth driver in device manager, plug in this dongle, and restart your computer. The instructions say to get the new driver from their website, but mine found it automatically. So far it’s been working great, and I love how small the adapter is so it’s not really in your way. I use an Xbox controller for gaming, and haven’t had any issues so far with the connection or response time. This is a great option for a great price.

The adapter arrived promptly, and was packaged well. Once connected Windows 11 picked it up right away. We were able to connect a pair of AirPod Pro headphones easily. The audio connection was solid without any issues when used for online meetings and u=music streaming. Would buy again for any older computer that doesn't have Bluetooth built in.

As I work from home, I need a lot of peripherals hooked up to both my home computer and my work computer. As some of my gear started to get old, I replaced them, only to find that my computer did not actually have proper Bluetooth support built in. Bummer. Fortunately, this TP-Link USB Bluetooth Adapter solved the problem completely. Not a bummer at all! The connector fits easily into a standard USB port, and with next to no fiddling on my computer, it connected right away to the wireless trackball I ordered. It hasn't given me a single problem since hooking it up. That is really all I need from tech like this: a decent, reliable device that works at a reasonable price.

Review date: 3-16-2025, Revision: C. I'm using it with all, very old stuff - It works good So far (connected to to USB2.0). It sounds good, despite it being SBC/AAC Bluetooth audio... Computer: HP Compaq 8000 Elete Minitower (not the small one at all). Upgraded with Samsung SSD-840-EVO-256GB system hard drive, USB3.0 via PCIe and SATA3.0 card). OS: Windows 7Pro 64b OEM up to date (really!). I have a Avantree CARA-2 BT receiver meant for car use. I'm using it on my home (AV receiver) stereo (TEAC AG-D8900, 5channel x 100Watts ) to pass the PC's music etc. Here the down side. It only supports, BT SBC and AAC. Not Apt-X or the HD version. So I went and found an audio 20Ft cable and connected it to my stereo directly, and surprisingly, I did not notice any difference. I believe, I was listening to CD quality music. This might be an issues if your an audiofile, high-end type. This It makes little difference if your listening to MP3 files, at 320kbps or less (this is the max possible for a MP3). BT SBC is maxed out at 320kbps. I went and stated a CD on my PC. I cant tell the difference between the Avantree BTDG-80-P (somewhat new ~year or so old), does Adp-X (the CD quality codec). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Review date: 1-27-2024, Revision: C. Two Stars for Laptop use. Seems to work, for some devices but not others... My setup: T500, Windows 7Pro64b. I wasn't able to make my Logitech M505 Mouse, to work with the UB500, nor my headphones. The One of the problem I'm trying to solve is, that to use anything new USB wise, I'll need to decide which I can do without, the USB/ WiFi, the USB/ Mouse, or this USB/ UB500 BT dongle? I don't do USB hubs on laptops, its a computer not an octopus... I tried to connect to my PXC-550-II. I was unable to make these work. Its a driver issue. Not sure if its sennheiser or this dongle. This happens with I add new hardware, to connect these headphones, one of the peripheral drivers doesn't load. Sennheiser, has failed to respond to my emails... I've purchased another brand dongle. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088LNPXNN This one connects to both my BT speakers and the headphones. After using TP-Links customer support without success, I've returned the UB500, as its doesn't work. Goodluck...

Amazing little device. My PC's motherboard does not have built in Bluetooth. I wanted to use my PS5 controller to play Pragmata on PC and didn't want keep using a cord. This did the trick and on top of that it let's me use other devices besides controllers. I mainly wanted it to play games though and it's perfect for that - zero lag. As you can see from the pics, pairing is easy. First make sure you download the drivers. Once you install them, head over to the bluetooth section of your PC and select add device. Make sure the device is in pairing mode so it appears on your PC.

We recently purchased a trio of TP-Link Bluetooth USB adapters as a single Amazon order: 1.) TP-Link UB400 Bluetooth 4.0 Nano USB Adapter [UPC: 845973099664] 2.) TP-Link UB500 Bluetooth 5.3 Nano USB Adapter [UPC: 840030703447] 3.) TP-Link UB500 Plus Bluetooth 5.3 Long Range USB Adapter [UPC: 840030703447] The primary (and by far most important) of our 3 purchases was the first (UB400), intended to add BT functionality to an older – but otherwise pristine and fully-functional – XP-based laptop lacking that intrinsic capability, and which we intend(ed) to repurpose for LPPAN communications with a centralized BT receiver. The latter 2 purchases (those involving the UB500 series) were of far less importance, being simply speculative, spur-of-the-moment additions, intended to determine whether – as suggested by TP-Link – they might potentially improve BT function and stability in a pair of newer Window computers already equipped with functioning onboard Bluetooth stacks and radios, but positioned at increasingly greater distances, relative to the older laptop, from the referenced BT receiver [hence, the choice of plain and long-range versions of the UB500 series]. As per both TP-Link's UB400 website and Amazon pages (NB: not only at the time of purchase, but currently, as well), this particular Bluetooth 4.0 adapter is advertised as being compatible with ALL versions of Windows – with the apparent exception of Vista – from XP to W11 ["TP-Link USB Bluetooth Adapter for PC, Bluetooth 4.0 Dongle Receiver, Plug & Play, Nano Size, EDR & A2DP Technology, Supports Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7/XP for Desktop, Laptop, PS4/ Xbox Controllers (UB400)"] with the proviso that the two older operating systems (XP and 7) would first require installation of a "driver" available for free from TP-L's website ["Plug N' Play for Windows 11, 10, 8.1, and 8... For Windows 11,10, 8.1, and 8, just plug UB400 into your computer to enjoy a fast, convenient Bluetooth connection. Windows XP and 7 are also supported by installing the driver from TP-Link's website*... *To download the driver, go to TP-Link's website, search for the UB400 product page, click 'Support,' and then select 'Driver.'" / "Q: What operating systems are compatible with the UB400? A: Current supported operating systems include Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7/XP, driver needed for Windows 7/XP. Does not support Mac OS and Linux."]. Upon receipt of the UB400 (which for obvious reasons was unpackaged first of the three), we promptly downloaded and installed TP-Link's requisite XP/W7 software package in PRECISE accordance with their instructions. The so-called "driver" file from their website (UB400_Driver.zip), extracted and then run under elevated "Administrator" privileges on an XP Pro SP2 (32-bit) installation lacking ANY Bluetooth stack (let alone an active MS one capable of interfering with the process) and absent any active Windows Defender or anti-virus interference, installed successfully with neither problem nor difficulty. The resultant Cambridge Silicon Radio Ltd. Harmony Wireless BT Stack & GUI (for the record, at some 425GB uncompressed, a massive piece of bloatware for any typical-of-the-era XP installation on a 60-80GB PATA/IDE 2.5" internal laptop HD) were now obviously available, although unable either to recognize or activate the USB 2.0-installed TP-Link UB400 dongle. Furthermore, no appropriate driver for same could be found on the post-install system, whether via XP's built-in driver-search function or through our own extensive, system-wide exploration (indeed, unlike with its comparable W7-11 driver package, which contains a "BT_Driver" subfolder comprising multiple further OS-specific driver subfolders, each containing the anticipated .cab and .inf files, a thorough internal search of TP-Link's XP "driver" package, including within all archive files therein, likewise failed to identify and/or locate any actual driver files, per se). Scouring both TP-Link's website (and following all their "troubleshooting" advice, with careful attention to every detail, noting and testing every possible nuance or ambiguity) as well as a host of potentially pertinent postings from across the Internet, we identified and tested every conceivably useful variation in installation procedure, however minute or subtle, that might amend the situation, but all to no avail (despite more than a dozen such additional installations over the course of nearly two weeks' time, preceded in every instance with complete reversal of the previous via Revo Uninstaller Pro v3.2.1.0). When further extensive research failed to turn up even the slightest possible solution, we finally unplugged the UB400 adapter and returned it to its original (inner) plastic packaging and (outermost) cardboard box, preparatory to arranging for return of same to Amazon. Only at this point did we happen to notice that the box in which our (purportedly XP-compatible) UB400 arrived, contrary to ongoing TP-Link claims on both their own and their Amazon UB400 pages, listed only "Win 11/10/8.1/7" as the full extent of compatible operating systems, with further examination of the packaging disclosing a sticker beside the surface-printed UPC Code (845973099664) indicating – in addition to the particular "S/N" and generalized "P/N" (0152602538) – that the model received was "UB400(US)" (NB: "MADE IN VIETNAM"), and additionally identifying this particular adapter as being "Ver. 2.6" (with an additional signifier, of unknown meaning or importance, immediately below same, appearing in this instance as: "1L"). Further Internet research, including across all relevant sections of TP-Link's U.S. and (accessible) worldwide websites, strongly suggests that ONLY TP-Link UB400 "Ver. 1.0" to "Ver. 1.8" (introduced, apparently, in 2012 and c.2018, respectively) can be deployed under XP (SP2 or 3) via the TP-Link-provided software package (again, the questionably-named "UB400_Driver.zip") installing the previously denoted CSR Harmony Wireless Software Stack (i.e., BT stack & GUI). With introduction of the "Ver. 2" series adapters (c.2023-4), including the latest "Ver. 2.6" variant here at issue, the XP-relevant "driver" package available for download from the TP-Link website is no longer compatible with ANY of their BT 4.0 adapters presently available for purchase - whether through Amazon, their own website(s), or elsewhere - and the comparable driver package specifically for the UB400 Ver. 2.6 device (currently, V2_1.9.1051.3012.zip) contains no driver whatsoever applicable to Windows XP. In other words, TP-Link continues to advertise their current UB400 BT 4.0 adapters - whether on Amazon, their own series of worldwide web pages, or elsewhere - as being fully compatible with XP when, in fact, NONE of them are (and haven't been for at least a year or two); it likewise continues to insinuate that this non-existent XP-compatibility can be actualized by installation of a cartoonishly massive (but ultimately "XP-friendly") "driver" software package freely available for download from their website(s), when in fact, that software does not – because it cannot – do anything of the sort, being entirely incompatible with any currently available retail version of the UB400 BT 4.0 adapter; AND they likewise continue to then proffer an extensive series of "troubleshooting" steps in the now-inevitable event an unassuming customer, attempting to deploy this (TP-Link recommended) hardware-software combination for its express purpose (i.e., adding BT functionality to an XP SP2-3 installation otherwise lacking that capability), should find – against all expectations – that the purchased UB400 simply and repeatedly fails to work under XP, no matter how carefully TP-Link's installation instructions are followed, or how many slightly varied versions of same are attempted, essentially thus throwing good time and effort after bad. In the (unlikely) event TP-Link should respond productively to this review, which is to say, by 1.) providing a means to selectively procure a "Ver. 1" series adapter (with guaranteed functionality under XP via the still-available "driver" download package) and/or 2.) providing a functional new "driver" download package extending the advertised XP-compatibility to their current "Ver. 2" series adapters, or 3.) at very least (and at long last), correcting their long-standing false advertisement re. the (absolutely nonexistent) XP compatibility of their current product line, then we will revisit this review and, as warranted, amend the presently given rating (which, for the record, would for obvious reasons stand at zero stars, save that Amazon requires at least a single one be "awarded").
