Add WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities to your computer lightning - fast with this amazing USB Bluetooth/WiFi Dongle! This multi - purpose device is a real gem. The WiFi part can make IoT devices wireless, or you can use a single - board Linux computer's USB ports to create a low - cost, high - reliability wireless connection. The Bluetooth side is perfect for all sorts of BLE connectivity projects and devices. It's ideal when you only have one USB port, like on a Raspberry Pi A+ or BeagleBone, as there's no need for a hub to add both wireless types. If you only need a WiFi module, our Miniature WiFi Module and beefier USB WiFi Module are great. For just Bluetooth, our Bluetooth 4.0 USB Module is outstanding. Windows 10+ has built - in drivers for Bluetooth modules, so just plug it in and let Windows auto - install the BT driver, which might take a few minutes. For Linux, you need to install a kernel module. There's a tutorial at https://raspmer.blogspot.com/2018/07/mantistek - wa150 - wifibluetooth - rtl8723bu.html. We tested it on a Raspberry Pi Zero and it worked, though the install took some time. The Realtek RTL8723BU is an 802.11bgn 2.4G single - chip that combines Wireless LAN, a network USB interface, and a Bluetooth 2.1/3.0/4.0 controller. It offers high - throughput performance and low power consumption. Key features include 802.11bgn, USB 2.0 for WLAN and Bluetooth, Wake on Wireless LAN, Antenna Diversity, and Bluetooth Low Energy.
Using this USB adapter is a breeze. For Windows 10 and later, simply plug the adapter into your computer's USB port. Windows will automatically detect it and start installing the Bluetooth driver, which may take a few minutes. Just be patient and wait for the process to finish. If you're using Linux, you'll need to install a kernel module. You can follow the tutorial at https://raspmer.blogspot.com/2018/07/mantistek - wa150 - wifibluetooth - rtl8723bu.html. It might take some time, especially on a device like the Raspberry Pi Zero, but it will work. When using the adapter, make sure there are no strong interference sources nearby, as this could affect the wireless signal quality. As for maintenance, keep the adapter clean and free from dust. You can use a dry cloth to gently wipe it if it gets dirty. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture, as this could damage the internal components.
