Compact Bluetooth 5.0 adapter

The BONAEVER AK14Y50G-1 adds Bluetooth 5.0 to laptops and desktops through a standard USB port. It supports mice, keyboards, headsets, speakers and printers. The tiny form factor includes a hanging hole so it can stay on a key-ring or bag strap.

Upgrade from Bluetooth 2.0 or 2.1

Systems still running Bluetooth 2.0 or 2.1 gain faster pairing and a more stable link with this adapter. The jump is worth it when you need 3 Mbps throughput for audio streaming or file transfers. Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP and Vista are not supported.

10 to 20 metre practical range

The RTL8761B chip delivers reliable connections across a typical room at 10 to 20 metres. Throughput holds at 3 Mbps for music and documents. Range drops beyond 20 metres and the adapter cannot reach the 100 metre theoretical limit in normal use.

Questions about this item

What USB port type does the AK14Y50G-1 adapter require?

It uses a universal USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 interface and has a micro form factor for a compact fit.

How do I install the adapter on Windows 10, and what step is often missed?

Plug it into a USB port; Windows 10 usually installs the Realtek RTL8761B driver automatically, but you must enable Bluetooth in Settings to pair devices.

When might I need to replace this Bluetooth 5.0 adapter?

Replace it if the USB connector wears out, the Realtek RTL8761B chip fails, or you need support for operating systems beyond Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10.
