I don't know my bluetooth device manufacturer name?

[darkdante13]

I recently bought an "HP Pavilion notebook PC 15-n245ee" and when I tried to download drivers online for my bluetooth driver I found that there is more than one driver, so I'd like to know which one to install.

Hi:

You install the same model bluetooth driver that corresponds to the model wireless card your notebook uses.

I'm starting to think that my laptop does not have bluetooth device at all even though when I bought it the salesman said it does, I looked in the drivers downloading page and I couldn't find a driver that goes with my wireless adapter which is realtek http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4158&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=6831...

can you please help me or tell me what to do I'm confused, thanks in advance.

Hi:

You are correct. The product specs page below indicates that your PC does not come with built in bluetooth.

If it did, it would be listed along with the 802.11b/g/n (1x1) wireless connectivity specification.

If your notebook has the Realtek RTL8188EE b/g wireless card, it definitely does not have built in bluetooth.

You're very welcome.

You can always purchase an external USB bluetooth adapter, or replace the Realtek wireless card with a combination wireless/bluetooth card listed in chapter 3 of the service manual for your model.

According to the manual (chapter 5), the wireless card can be replaced by the customer.
