How many devices can I connect at once?

Troubleshooting
Device is not recognized by Windows
Try plugging the adapter into a different USB port, preferably one directly on the motherboard if using a desktop PC.
Frequent connection drops with peripherals
Ensure no other high-powered 2.4GHz devices, like a microwave or router, are placed directly next to the adapter.
Cannot pair new devices
Open the Bluetooth settings in Windows, remove any old 'ghost' entries of the device, and put the peripheral back into pairing mode.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the UB500, simply insert the adapter into an available USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on your computer. For Windows 10 and 11, the device should be automatically recognized. If the drivers do not load automatically, visit the official TP-Link support website to download the specific drivers for your OS.
- Compatibility: Windows 11, 10, 8.1, and 7.
