Functions wonderful in Ubuntu Linux 9.10. I am employing it on my Aspire One 250 and it performs perfectly. The truth that it is a micro device is great since I can maintain it plugged into my netbook and under no circumstances have to take it out. It fits in my bag perfectly and I don't have to be concerned about it finding ripped out. None

Install was quite straightforward. I integrated with Windows 7 flawlessly. Have had no concerns with this device.

Incredibly little I could not get this factor to function reliably with Windows 7. I attempted the incorporated drivers, the drivers from the internet site, generic WIDCOMM drivers, built in Windows drivers. Absolutely nothing would work. Appear elsewhere.

Everything! Popped this into my Vista Ultimate 64 box and I was in a position to sync my Palm TX in much less than two minutes. Bluetooth is the only resolution for Vista 64 for those who want to sync their Palm PDA's. Why wouldn't Palm support 64 bit OS is beyond me. I didn't have to install the drivers from the mini-CD that came along with the adapter. Vista took care of every little thing. Connection was solid; no drop offs. Not when. Variety is good albeit I usually sit in the immediate proximity of my computer system while I'm making use of sync'ing; I don't normally carry out this process even though cooking breakfast in the kitchen, so I can't comment on "how far" does it go. Not certain if I care about it. I sync'ed my a dozen times w/o any difficulties.It's really little; very easily lost if not cautious. Offers out a nice soft blue light when on (not negative at all). Love the tiny issue! It's merely great! None! NewEgg is the ideal as often!

I downloaded the driver from iogear.com, instead of making use of the drivers in the package, as other evaluations on newegg.com recommended. It worked fine for me with Windows 7 and a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000. The blue light blinks as I am moving the mouse about. It doesn't truly bother me, considering that the blue light is not vibrant and I usually perform and surf in a nicely lit location. It is a excellent value. I bought it on sale with rapidly, free shipping. It was simple for me to set up and found my bluetooth mouse proper away. I haven't paired it with something else, so I can not comment on other devices.

-micro adapter won't block most common USB port layouts-decent range for antenna size-integrated software program stack superior to Microsoft Bluetooth Stack-inoffensive soft blue activity light none so far For the price paid (พ.98us) this is an superb alternative for adding bluetooth 2.1 to an older Computer or laptop. I have but to test it in Ubuntu's linux stack, but it was automatically recognized by Microsoft's drivers in Win7 32bit. Installing the integrated Winnicom bluetooth stack enabled numerous pieces of hardware and functions left out of Microsoft's bluetooth develop, including letting me access my 290c feature telephone with out additional for-spend software program. The variety may well not attain the advertised Class-2 30ft range advertised in genuine planet operation (what ever does?), but it's got a fantastic sufficient range to let you step away from your Pc or laptop without dropping a connection. Some reviewers complain about the blinking activity light, but unless you're staring suitable at it in a really dark room, it's truly hardly noticeable.

Functions fantastic. Excellent price tag. Fits tightly into the USB port and really hard to take away. Computer software not built into the adapter. Require to use CD to install software program. This adapter supports A2DP, which implies that you can listen to audio from your computer system via your bluetooth headset that has A2DP profile. I am capable to listen to music and watch videos and hear the audio by means of my bluetooth headset. No delay in audio and video.You can also use this adapter for speaking on Skype.

Bluetooth connection is state of the art. I noticed no delays even though watching videos or chatting with good friends.Blue light is hardly noticeable. Even in the darkest of rooms.Supports up the 7 devices. Tiny, so it's simple to misplace it.You have to pair your devices soon after set up yourself. No system pops up to do it for you. The Bluetooth adapter was speedy and easy to set up. Just plugged it in, popped the install disc in and it worked just fine. Pairing was also really easy. i would propose this to friends and household mainly because it demands small technical understanding to set up. It does most of the perform for you. General I'm extremely happy with this device. Thanks IOGEAR!

I bought this mainly for the fact that I wanted to use my bluetooth headset on Skype and in on-line games. Also, I purchased it so that I could sync up my phone and transfer files to and from it with ease. It does all of these pretty properly. Bluetooth connection to my desktop is not extremely user friendly. I have to manually connect and disconnect my phone and headset each time. Transferring files is a small clunky, but that is far more Windows fault. Also, when attempting to use it for multiplayer on the web gaming, it didn't perform out exactly how I wanted. The microphone worked for sending my voice to other players, but hearing them solely through the earpiece did not function. I was informed that this is due to the way the games have been not programmed to handle VOIP incredibly properly. This is only a minor downside, but everything else functions wonderfully.

Comment:
Extremely very good variety crystal clear sound A2DP assistance. I bought this to use with my laptop as it did not come with Bluetooth and my bluetooth head phones it performs flaelessly and took me about five minutes to hook up quite nice product and I am operating widows7. NONE!

Okay, I will confess that I watch a lot of movies in netflix or DVDs on my computer system at evening so I decided to upgrade my computer system to a bluetooth dongle with a bluetooth earpiece. My plan was effective, but I had to troubleshoot some difficulties before lastly figuring out the setup. The first time, I attempted connecting the dongle and installing the software program on my personal with out reading the directions. I thought all setups are always the exact same, but right here it's not the case. So my suggestions to these with troubles attempting to make the dongle work is to very first set up the software program just before connecting the dongle to your technique. I have a Windows XP and the dongle works great. I utilised the earpiece of my cell telephone and pair it with this laptop and it worked like a charm. All the sounds of my speaker have been transferred to my earpiece and now my family can go to sleep even though I can continue watching motion pictures at night. Very picky software installation approach. But after set up properly functions nicely.

little and does perform as expected Driver from manufacturer is terrible. Immediately after set up an additional software, just about every is fantastic

Low-cost, small, gives fairly a bit of functionality, extended range 2008 driver it shipped with didn't operate with Windows 7, but the updated driver from the Iogear web website did. For Win7, you're best off not installing the software that shipped with it at all (you'll have to uninstall it again) - just download directly from the web web site. I was capable to access my Pantech Breeze phone and download pictures from it. Under Windows 7 it also apparently supports use of the telephone for web connectivity (if phone so equipped) and use of my laptop as a headset/speakerphone and remote dialer for generating telephone calls. I surprisingly picked up a broadcasting Bluetooth laptop in a different workplace one hundred feet away, so the variety is quite very good, as effectively.

its wireless Honestly I am in a terrible location to in fact try to use this item. I had alot of difficulties with its compatibility with Vista 64 bit and the Sony headset i purchased to perform with it. Signal strength was nowhere close to as robust as it claimed and I finally gave up employing it. Not a fantastic acquire if you nonetheless use Vista or reside in an location that tends to make making use of bluetooth a painful experience. Manufacturer Response:Thanks for acquiring IOGEAR.

Modest receiver Doesn't function appropriately. It messed up with my Windows Vista x32, had to reinstall it once again. I strongly suspect the dilemma is in the drivers.

Functions. Simple and easy to install and has decent driver support. In a position to connect to all of my bluetooth devices. Oftentimes has problems connecting to my Samsung-a867 as both an audio device and as a telephone for calls. When undertaking so it'll many times trigger the connection to reset.Also the interface dialog for audio devices is poor, it's consistently set as on leading and appears following just about every song. exceptionally annoying when listening although employing complete screen applications as it'll kick you back out everytime a new song is played. I have however to find an selection that turns this setting off. Other testimonials reported as being unable to connect to the Samsung-870 headset. This is false as i have implemented the headset to speak over ventrilo with this adapter. Just recall that you have to have to place the headset in pairing mode when generating the initial connection.

Fast! and Affordable! N/A I checked out a feedback about Samsung Headset WEP 870. I have this headset and it operates fine with this adapter. Please press the middle button for at least 5 seconds so that this bluetooth adapter can locate out the headset.

modest/priced appropriate this is a terrible adapter if your seeking for a bluetooth adapter with fantastic range. It advertizes 30ft. but your lucky to get 12 ft. and that is on a straight line from your pc, unobstructed. Purchased 2 of these, and both are the identical substandard. I contacted buyer service, and all they will do is take down your info, and tell you they are passing your complaint to there enginering folks. They won't refund your income, only replace with yet another substandard piece. I would tell you not to purchase this item. There are otheres on new egg that get significantly far better critiques for the similar money Manufacturer Response:Thank you for deciding upon IOGEAR and we apologize for your knowledge.
