Customer Reviews

Best overall Bluetooth USB Adapter....
With all those Bluetooth USB Adapters that are out in the market, this is good overall adapter. Most computers today would detect this TBW-101UB Adapter and would not need to install the software for it. Once the adapter is installed and detected on the computer, the rest is pretty straight forward for those that know how to search devices in the My Bluetooth places.

The transferring rate of files is decent. It is not blazing fast, but faster than the traditional USB connection. Syncing the bluetooth from your Bluetooth enabled phone to the computer is a little tricky. I have a Blackberry 8310 and using bluetooth as my mode of transferring was a little tedious.

In all, this adapter performs very well. I have a Motorola Bluetooth receiver that is hooked up downstairs on my Home Audio and playing music from my Office upstairs where the Adapter is hooked up. The music streaming is good knowing you are using it wirelessly through Bluetooth.

Bluetooth adapter
I Just opened instruction and followed setup steps and everything is working. No problem, everything is fine. All my mobile devices can connect to PC.

It works all right, but at the time you install it in your pc is really difficult because the instructions are not enough clear. I had a problem with de COM port, and I took me all day long to find out what to do.
