Sorry, fraid I don't know. Our computers at work have built in WiFi, and
this was a simple and cheap way to add Bluetooth along with WiFI.
The place I work at (computer/phone, sales/repair) already has a public WiFi
"hotspot", and we added the simple dongle thing to our existing computers so
we could do bluetooth things with the V710 (our philosphy is try it/make
sure it works, before selling it).
