Setup is not as straight forward...
Downloading installation software then install was easy. Getting the Bluetooth to pickup signal was not easy. Lack of instruction for troubleshooting did not help. After searching the web for answer, was able to resolve issue, then everything worked. Installed on Window 7.Read full review...

Not 100% Windows 10 compatible
I purchased this IOGEAR BT 4.0 unit because on their website it has the firmware for Windows 10. It is not, however, 100% Windows 10 compatible. I contacted IOGEAR when the firmware kept crashing my computer and to start with, they offered no help at all. After pushing for an answer they admitted that if the PC was upgraded from Win 7 or Win 8.1 to Win 10, then there were some problems with some users. A quick Google search showed more than a few users have the same trouble as me. A fresh install of Windows 10 is the only solution in MANY cases (and is a P.I.T.A. to do). IOGEAR declined to RMA the dongle and I am now left footing the bill for a component that does not work. The kicker is, IOGEAR know about this issue but have posted no warnings at all.
I would not recommend buying this BT dongle if you upgraded from Win 7 or 8.1 to 10.
I hope this review helps someone.Read full review...

Excellent Bluetooth Product, Cost Effective Purchase
We were surprised by the quickness and ease of installation on our W8 HP laptop. The IOGEAR Bluetooth Donge worked as advertised and both the laptop and smart phone were able to communicate with one another within a few minutes. The signal strength is excellent and the music we stream can be heard on either device clearly and as loud as we want. This has been a superb purchase.Read full review...

Add bluetooth to your PC
The good: It works on both Win10 and Win11. The bad: Nothing bad really, it's just not as powerful as the embedded bluetooth in my TV or TSR-700 receiver. Stay within 50 feet and direct line of sight and it works perfectly. Walk into another room or step behind an obstruction and it'll start cutting out.Read full review...

Worked great
I used this on windows 10 to use a bluetooth stereo for computer speakers. I did have to go into the control panel to let the computer know what I wanted , but it was easy and quick. I don't have a blue tooth printer so cant comment on that. I don't like wires and have eliminated speakers , keyboard and mouse so far.Read full review...

A winner in a tight place!
My computer case is in a closed cabinet, so adding a Bluetooth dongle has always been a dicey situation, but not with this one! It reaches outside of the office into the rest of the house and is very easy to remove and store. Price is very good for the level of quality, and it ships FAST!Read full review...

Saving money
My computer speakers went so instead of buying new ones I bought this to connect to my bluetooth stereo receiver. Better sound at a better price. Worked better on Win7 than it is for me on Win10 - might be something I need to adjust - not sure.Read full review...

Update your old laptop
This little usb guy really did the trick for updating my old but wonderful laptop. I was so close to chucking it and shelling out 2 grand for a new laptop when I saw this little gem. It installs easily and does everything an internal bluetooth does. It is small and not intrusive-- I hardly know it is there.
I highly recommend it.Read full review...

Little issue?
Had a little trouble with the initial setup, but after that haven't had any more problems. Although I haven't used it as much as anticipated.
