About Intel Wireless Bluetooth

Intel Wi-Fi cards include Bluetooth, but Windows treats it as a separate USB device with its own driver. Common hardware IDs:

CNVi modules such as AX211 and AX101 can report other product IDs; the Intel Wireless Bluetooth package covers them as well.

Bluetooth missing? Check this first

1. Make sure Airplane mode is off and Bluetooth is not disabled in BIOS/UEFI.
2. Open Device Manager → View → Show hidden devices and look for Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) under Bluetooth or an unknown USB device with a VID_8087 ID.
3. Install the latest Intel Wireless Bluetooth driver from this page and restart.
4. If Bluetooth still does not appear: shut down completely (hold Shift while clicking Shut down), unplug power for 30 seconds and start again. On desktop PCIe Wi-Fi cards, check that the card’s USB cable is connected to a motherboard USB header.

Keep Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers in sync

Intel releases Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers together with matching version numbers (for example 23.x or 24.x). Mixing a very old Bluetooth driver with a new Wi-Fi driver can cause audio dropouts with headphones or devices not reconnecting — update both. See the Wi-Fi driver pages for AX210/AX211, AX201, AX200 and BE200.

Linux supports Intel Bluetooth with the in-kernel btusb/btintel drivers and firmware from linux-firmware.
