Reviews of the Actiontec USB Bluetooth adapter
-
CNET Review
The Good: Small; supports a variety of devices and services; three-foot extension cable enhances connectivity.
The Bad: Flawed setup and configuration processes; sparse documentation.
The Bottom Line: This adapter's dicey installation and configuration software make it difficult to use. Unless you're an expert, steer clear.
Manufacturer: ActionTec Electronics
Part number: HBU00100-01
