or possibly just confirm the chipset (or is it not that simple?)

It is not that easy, normally the chipset specs are well hidden or not directly disclosed. The TP Link UB500 has a Realtek RTL8761B chipset, also shared by many other inexpensive :slight_smile: BT USB dongles.

Well… I don’t know how to do it if you don’t descrive me!!

Actually it’s mounted on al PC… Can it help?

@falkTX … If it can help, I have downloaded from Asus site the Linux BT driver (to be compiled) for the USB-BT500 usb adapter.

I don’t have Linux on my PC but this is the short on release note:

The “rtl” (realtek) ones are all enabled so in theory the new/next 1.13 build should work for you.
And in any case we can easily add more later on as we find more missing firmware.

Yes. In Device Manager on Windows, you can access the Properties, and on the Details tab you can see the Hardware IDs , which will identify the chipset used by your Asus device
