The ASUS USB-BT500 Bluetooth 5.0 USB Adapter offers faster data transfer, wider coverage range, and energy-saving wireless connectivity. It allows wireless communication with Bluetooth-enabled devices and is backward compatible with Bluetooth 2.1/3.x/4.x.

It needs a Wi-Fi driver to communicate with the Wi-Fi, and a Bluetooth Driver for the Bluetooth Technology.
