ZEXMTE Long-Range USB Bluetooth 5.1 Adapter for PC - Updated Version

Amazon Customer: The CD that came with it did not work, if you get this do a search for Realtek Bluetooth 5.0 Adapter RTL8671B on google, Or search for "peteristhegreat realtech" that driver worked, but it took a lot of effort to find the driver.

Rich from Oakland: Easy to install. I was worried a little during installation, as my laptop said "does not support this operating system" or something to that effect. But it did install and works great! No problem at all.

David: Terrible. This is a poorly made and presented product.
It claims to work with Windows 7.
The product I received came with a CDROM disc with software. That's useless in 2023.
The paper instructions makes no mention of where to download any software.
I determined the product was BT-505, did a Google search for a driver, and downloaded what was hopefully the correct software.
The software installed a device called "Realtek Bluetooth 5.0"
which is not what I paid for.
This device is supposed to be Bluetooth 5.1
The software didn't install correctly, with some new devices saying "this can't start".
I thought about un-installing the software but there's no listing for this product in the list of "Installed Programs".
I tried re-installing the software and it won't let me. It says "There are unauthorized Bluetooth adapters in your system"
and then "Realtek Bluetooth" is not installed in your system.
Ridiculous.
I tried pairing with my headphones. It doesn't work.
So in conclusion, this product is worse than the Bluetooth that is in-built to my laptop.
I haven't seen a computer accessory this bad in a long time.

didier cousin: Le produit fonctionne parfaitement. Je l'utilise avec home assistant pour mes thermostats aqara/xiaomi LYWSD03MMC. avant j'utilisais un simple clé bluetooth, mais je perdais régulièrement plusieurs thermostats, depuis que j'ai installé celle-ci je n'ai plus aucune déconnexion. La différence est vraiment flagrante.

M D: A lot better range than the built-in BT-antenna. But nowhere near as good as claimed in the description - To be honest I wasn't expectin it to be...
Overall satisfied with the product, but can't really give it better than 4 stars for obvious reasons.

Amazon Customer: Lo uso per connettere il PC desktop alle cuffiette bluethooth. Mantiene la connessione stabile, al contrario di quello che avevo prima, e prende il segnale anche in tutta la casa, anche se c'è da dire che non vivo in una casa molto grande.

David Park: I have a 5 year old HP Envy desk computer that came with a built-in bluetooth/WiFi adapter. I was getting about 10 feet of scratchy range on my bluetooth headphones so I bought this adapter. Installation was easy but making it work was a challenge. At first I disabled the driver and native bluetooth adapter and installed this one and the new driver and it worked... until I rebooted. The old adapter and driver reinstalled, conflicted with this one and I had no or unreliable connection. I almost returned this adapter in frustration.

However, I took a deep breath and opened my computer case and went looking for something that might be the built-in. Behind the hard drive and CD drive I found it, a WLAN chip with 2 antenna wires attached. I removed the chip from it's socket and restarted the computer. NO bluetooth (and no WiFi). I plugged in the adapter, installed the driver from the CD and rebooted and my bluetooth devices started working. I can now walk outside, 50 ft away, and still have sound on my bluetooth earphones. I no longer have WiFi but I do have hard wired ethernet so I don't need it. If you need WiFi, be sure to purchase an adapter that has both.

So, in my...

nzh: Update: after the latest Win 11 update, the driver does not work. Cannot be used with Win 11 any further.

By now, I've bought 3 adapters. First one for an old desktop that did not have Bluetooth. The quality was good enough, and the range was much better than I had with built-in Bluetooth for other computers. Then, I got another one for a laptop replacing the built-in Bluetooth. Again, the range is much longer, and it works much better with headsets that had some problems with the original laptop Bluetooth. Now, I've got the third one for another laptop, and that's the same -longer range and more stable. Highly recommend.
