Bluetooth on TPLINK TBE400e not recognized at all
I recently bought a wifi card, TPLINK WIFI7 TBE400e, v.1 (12.01.2025). My system : Ryzen 5 7600, 32 GBDDR5, RTX4070, motherboard Asrock B650 Pro RS, assembled in December 2024. WiFi works just fine but Bluetooth doesnt show at all in Device Manager, unrecognized or not. The wifi card is fine, bluetooth works well on another 2 systems, I5 8700k and I5 10400. No previos bluetooth driver installed, deleted or unistalled all. USB port works fine, tested vor +/- 5V. Freshh install with W11, the same.
Windows 11 is up to date, drivers are all updated, bios too. Disabled in bios, as a precaution, the WiFi/Bluetooth for my M.2 WiFi on the motherboard, no change.
Any help is greatly apreciated.
Thanks
Hi,
The 5V being present doesn't guarantee the USB port is actually working.
Have you already tested both frontpanel USB headers on the motherboard?
I don't know how different the Asrock MBs are, but look if they also allow to disable each USB port from the BIOS, like the main brand ASUS does (picture below). If they do, then verify they are all enabled. (which they should be by default)
By the way, do you already have another M.2 Wi-Fi/BT card installed in the motherboard's dedicated M.2 slot?
Does the Windows Device Manager show a "Bluetooth" section on your computer or not?
