Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of IOGEAR Enhanced Data Rate Class 2 Bluetooth USB Adapter Ranges up to 66 Feet

Customer Review: Works with Windows 7 RC!
Summary: 5 Stars

Although it didn't work out of the box with Windows 7 RC I'm still giving it 5 stars because of the excellent support that got me through.
To install under Windows 7 (and save yourself the support call) here's what you do:
1. Make sure the device is NOT CONNECTED to your computer
2. Go to [...] and download the file (it's one file no matter what version of XP/Vista/W7 you are using)
3. Once its downloaded extract it and double click on setup. Let it do its thing until it complains it can't find the device. Click CANCEL and it will finish the installation.
4. Reboot your computer
5. Insert the device and wait for the driver to be installed. Once its done, you are good to go. If after waiting a bit (10 minutes) nothing happens, right click on the bluetooth icon on your taskbar and hit "start using bluetooth".
6. If you've done the installation a different way, you may run into the software complaining about an invalid license. Disconnect the adapter from the computer, uninstall the software, reboot the computer and go to step 1 above.

Once everything is installed the adapter and software work like a charm. I'm using it with a Plantronics 590 and Skype 4.0 and voice quality couldn't be better. In terms of range I wouldn't go much beyond 20 ft. but frankly, this may be a limitation of my Plantronics headset (although the same headset coupled with my iPhone allows me to roam a bit further).

All in all, very satisfied.
