Useful when it actually works.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a good product but it lacks software required to use it. And if you go to the website for support they make you download drivers that do nothing for it. Proceed with caution.

Somewhat disappointed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought this adapter would be a speed upgrade from my old adapter. No such luck...but it is smaller and works fine. If you don't have an adapter, buy it. But don't purchase as a speed replacement for a bluetooth 2.0 adapter.

Went to find the problem and it says the product is discontinued... haven't been able to use it since i purchased it a while back and am too far to drive for what this is worth. would have been nice to know that this product couldnt be updated anymore. Why would this still be sold in store? I couldnt tell you.

Old computer

Did not work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I first plugged the adapter into my Windows 7 laptop, it did not automatically install the drivers. From the "Devices and Printers" window, it showed up as an "Unspecified" device, BCM20702A0. From there, I was able to right-click and "Troubleshoot" the device to get a driver installed, but that did not help. With the driver installed, I was able to see several Bluetooth devices. I tried connecting with my Bluetooth mouse and my Bluetooth headphones, both of which I've used successfully with other laptops. From the laptop, both devices appeared to connect, but the headphones did not indicate that they were paired, and neither device functioned. The first one of these Bluetooth adapters I purchased was an "open box" special. (That should have been a clue.) The second was a brand new unopened unit. Both exhibited the same problem. Checking the Insignia website for support was no help. There were no updated drivers to download, and the User Manual and User Guide were only available in French and Spanish. https://www.insigniaproducts.com/pdp/NS-PCY5BMA2/4884001
