🔌 Sena USB Bluetooth Adapter UD100-G03: Extended 300m Working Dist. with Exchangeable Antenna & Bluesoleil Driver Review

Excellent long range Bluetooth adapters. They say they work up to 300 meters, I haven't checked. I've used it at about 150 feet with no problems. The included software and driver gave me a bit of trouble. The driver was not recognized by the industrial software I am using. I had to uninstall the driver and use the generic bluetooth driver and it works great. My colleague told me that his portable radio interferes with this adapter. He said his radio's antenna hit the adapter's antenna and…

Good range on device but you have to use their software package instead of just working in windows like other bluetooth dongles. The software version that comes with it is outdated and they want more money for the latest version. The software requires some calculations, and if you disconnect from a device, you'll need to restart that device to use it again. I had trouble installing the software and had to go to the installation CD and manually find the correct installer.

I ordered this specifically to use A2DP. I just want more range in our office with my headphones but it doesn't and I don't see why not. At 8ft outdoors the audio is choppy, but with the mini BT-LE adapter I can easily do the standard 10m without clipping, and even at 40ft it's barely choppy. The moment I leave my office I lose the signal from him. I specifically placed it above the outdoor monitors so the antenna sticks straight up and doesn't get in the way. I'm sure it will work better with…

Has its own adware-like Bluetooth stack. It seems you have to buy software to have legitimate drivers. Not good for what I bought it for. The bluesoleil software installation is almost 100 MB and full of ads.

I've never given a bad review so this is my first. I installed the software to do this on my Windows 10 desktop. Terrible, just terrible experience! This messed up the Windows 10 recovery install points and made my PC unbootable. Sometimes it makes the USB ports unrecognizable so that you cannot use your USB with Windows 10 recovery software. I cleaned my hard drive, reinstalled Windows 10 and when I tried reinstalling the software for it a second time it did the same thing! I spent over a week

The key works fine, but the drivers and the application are weird to say the least. The only place I could get the drivers (that I could find) was on the disk that came with it. The drive is a smaller CD drive, which is a problem with slot-loading drives.

Combined with the TP-LINK TL-ANT24EC3S 3m/10ft antenna extender I was able to place the antenna over the computer desk and to the side of the room so we can now use our Bose Soundlink Speakers in almost any place in your home by playing music from iTunes on your computer. My wife asked for that flexibility, so it was a very good decision.

READERS PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE SENA UD100 ADAPTER AND NOT THE BLUE SOLEIL SOFTWARE SUPPLIED WITH THE ADAPTER. Blue Soleil is a third-party app provided by the manufacturer for Windows users, as Microsoft never did a good job of supporting Bluetooth. If you are a Windows user, you may be able to install other software packages if you do not need Blue Soleil. You received this item after an unsuccessful attempt to purchase it before it went to the Revain warehouse. I ordered…

[.] - wide range, good product but for Windows users - FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY. While I would have spent nearly hundreds of dollars for another solution, I found a non-'mini' BT dongle with a proper external antenna connector. Bought with a separate external antenna. With a separate external antenna, the range of this dongle is much longer than I expected. BAD: BT radio is a commodity. Why this company had to use a single chip that doesn't have easy-to-find drivers is far from clear to me. The…
