Hi:

What model wifi adapter does your notebook have?

Hi:

The realtek rtl8188ee 802.11 bgn is not a combination wifi bluetooth adapter.

Your notebook does not have built in bluetooth hardware for the bluetooth to work.

If you want to upgrade to an internal dual band wifi card that has bluetooth you can remove the RTL8188EE and replace it with this one...

Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supported) HP part # L17365-005.

The only place I have been able to find this model is on eBay.

The card has the same throughput as the RTL8188EE on the 2.4 GHz wifi band, but on the 5.0 GHz wifi band with an AC router, it has a maximum throughput of 433 MBPS.

On a dual band wireless N router, it would have a maximum throughput of 150 MBPS on the 5.0 GHz wifi band.

Or you can purchase an external USB bluetooth adapter, such as this one that I use...

Below is the link to the service manual, where you can find the wifi card removal and replacement procedure.
