Sorry to disagree with webworkings, but usually (if not always) Bluetooth is located on a laptop's wifi adapter. look at Intel adapters for examples. I have been having problems with my Bluetooth on my ASUS laptop so I replaced my wifi adapter with the one in this thread. I do still have wifi, but my previous Bluetooth no longer shows up in device manager. In fact I no longer have Bluetooth at all, so the answer to the original question is that this adapter does not have Bluetooth. Look to a newer intel adapter if you want 2.4ghz, 5ghz and Bluetooth, you can find plenty of options. Please note that you need to make sure you get an adapter with the same number of antennas as your laptop currently has. if your current card has 2 wires then you have 2 antennas and you need to match your new card, but not all laptops have 2 antennas. BTW, I just use intel as an example. I am sure you can find a satisfactory adapter elsewhere. Upgrading your card is a good way to take advantage of your new 802.1 AC router. Match your adapter to your router. don't waste money putting a newer standard adapter in your laptop if you don't plan on updating your router soon. Likewise, why by newest tech router if your adapter won't take full advantage. I realize I am a year late answering your question. Sorry
