[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1643946, member: 234411"] Hi again - as stated at the end of my previous post, I have no experience in using a BT USB dongle on an older laptop - also, I'm not sure that if you first disable (i.e. turn off) BT on the laptop and then plug in the BT dongle, whether the device would work? Likely there are drivers installed and the device might function? Take a look at this [URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007GFX0PY/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]Amazon LINK[/URL] to an Iogear BT dongle - review the comments carefully - there seems to me a mix of positive and negative statements regarding what you would like to do - the devices are at least cheap - ;) Hopefully, a member or two w/ experience in this area will come along to help solve (or discourage?) your issue - also, you might want to tell us why you need to go beyond the BT 2.x standard now on your laptop, i.e. is BT not working and/or do you want a faster connection, and if so, for what purpose. Dave :) [/QUOTE]
