Works on Linux and has great range in my house. Installed it in my desktop computer upstairs and it was able to go through 2 floors, past the first floor and into the basement. Far better range than the thumbnail USB dongle that I was using before. Best of all, on Kubuntu 25.10 (Linux kernel 6.17) it worked perfectly. It was a simple plug and play. 😅

Everything is connected so far with the TP-Link USB Bluetooth 5.3 Adapter Long Range Receiver including my Anker Headphone and Playstation 4&5 Controller without any issue.

Works immediately out of the box with home assistant (running on an old X86 machine). Using it to passively pick up several Switchbot temperature and humidity sensors plus several of their meter pros with CO2 monitoring. The range is excellent. One of my Switchbot Meter pros is three rooms over and still getting consistent data into Home Assistant. Only time will tell if a Home Assistant update breaks something!

Estuve meses intentando de todo para que el Bluetooth de mi PC recién armada funcionara y nada solucionó mi problema. Las antenas Wifi de mi motherboard funcionan perfectamente pero la función de BT nunca jaló por más que la configuré con Windows 11, hasta que conseguí este dispositivo. Solo se conecta y funciona al instante, no necesitas hacer más, ni descargar/instalar otra cosa. Pero es muy importante que antes de conectarlo primero desactives el Bluetooth que viene de fábrica en tu PC (en Windows, busca "Administrador de Dispositivos" y ahí seleccionas la opción de deshabilitar). En el caso de que previamente ya tuvieras emparejado algún dispositivo Bluetooth (controles de Xbox/PS, audífonos, mouse, etc) primero elimínalos de la PC, conectas el receptor y ahora sí los vuelves a emparejar para que no te de errores. Si se te olvidó hacer esto antes de conectar el receptor, no pasa nada: •Desactiva el BT del receptor en "Administrador de dispositivos" (no es necesario que lo desconectes). •Reactiva el BT de tu PC para desemparejar los dispositivos que tengas, al final lo desactivas. •Vuelves a activar el BT de tu receptor y ya puedes usarlo con normalidad. Usar controles de Xbox, Playstation, audífonos Bluetooth o hardware inalámbrico, etc, todo eso que suena tan básico por fin lo puedo hacer gracias a este receptor.

Works automagically under linux (PopOS in this case), better range than the thumbnail-sized adapter I was using. Using the teeny adapter my earbuds would cut out if I went to another room w/o direct LoS. With this adapter I get a perfect connection anywhere in a 2100sf house. Still not enough range to cover the whole yard, sadly, but definitely better. I was skeptical when shopping as a *lot* of these kind of things are bogus (a big "antenna" that's not even electrically connected, just plastic, for looks to fool buyers, and a standard tiny mini-pcb adapter)...but this one delivers. I didn't take it apart, but the performance difference is very obvious. Addendum: to get the best results, I put a simple metal plate (initially just aluminum foil, but later an old gray gov-issue bookend that was literally from the Apollo program, lol) behind the antenna; that greatly increases the signal strength in front of the plate (normal to the surface of the plate..behind the plate signal is basically gone), since the pc was at one end of my desired coverage area.That's an old antenna design trick; it effectively doubles the size of the antenna but only opposite the plate. Might help someone, might not, but free to try. :) happy trails
