Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of TRENDnet Bluetooth USB Adapter TBW-101UB (Blue)
Customer Review: OK, but bad software installer
Summary: 3 Stars
I just got the product and installed the CD that came with it. The installer kept coming up with boxes saying that this or that file was missing. Then before I could try to find the file it asked for, it would ask for another missing file. At one time, it kept popping up missing file boxes to where there were about 6 of them on the screen. It seems that a professional product like this should include all the install files on the CD. At this point, I have only had limited results when connecting to other devices. I don't think the installer installed the drivers correctly.Customer Review: Poor directions and slow support
Summary: 1 Stars
This device is supposed to allow you to add bluetooth functionality to your notebook. It may do that, but the directions are of no use with Windows porgram beyond Win98. Apparently, you need to disable a bunch of Windows functions in XP or 2000 for this to work. That is never mentioned in the directions.
An email to customer support went unanswered for 5 days. When the answer came in it was complex. I returned the product.TRENDnet Bluetooth USB Adapter
Customer Review: Used with Motorola H500 Bluetooth Headset
Summary: 3 Stars
TRENDnet Bluetooth USB Adapter was easy to install and configure. I was able to quickly connect to it using my Motorola H500 Bluetooth Headset, and to receive and make Skype calls. However, there does seem to be noise on the connection, which the other person can hear more than I. When using a regular headset connected to the headphone and mircophone connections on my laptop, the line is clear. Therefore, there does seem to be some noise issue with the TRENDnet Bluetooth USB Adapter, which could be due to it only being USB1.1, but I am still able to use it.Customer Review: Works fine... sorta...
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the TRENDnet adaptor instead of the D-Link adaptor which Apple supports, based on price and the reviews below. I'm using it on my PowerMac Dual 2ghz G5 to connect a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse. Unfortunately, when the computer is put to sleep the mouse goes dead. The only way to reconnect the mouse is to disconnect the adpator and reconnect it. This is a bit of a pain and requires me to only use the adaptor in the USB port at the front of the Mac.
Otherwise, works just fine, but I could see this being a long term frustration for some people.
Customer Review: Good Bluetooth Adapter
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the TRENDnet Bluetooth USB adapter to get a bluetooth
headset I use for my cellphone to work on my PC as a Skype headset.
It installed easily with the software and fully supports the
headset. It has worked without any problems. I do get static
on the headset, but this is a general bluetooth problem not
related to this product. I've tried other bluetooth USB
adapters and they didn't support the required profile for
the headset. This feature combined with the low price makes
this a good buy.
