hello, I am having some issues with my Bluetooth connections. I tested a Bluetooth mouse and it worked but had an issue, it became laggy after a few seconds of being connected. One would move the mouse but the movement of the pointer on the screen was noticeably laggy. I also tried using a bluetooth speaker and experienced a similar issue. The sound produced by the speaker was slightly behind the video, just slightly behind. I know that both of these devices (mouse and speakers) work correctly on other PCs. And the issues I am having on this PC, are also present on my Windows system installed on dual boot on the same machine. I'm on a Dell XPS 9550,which I think comes with the Dell Wireless 1830. and lspci outputs : Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless This card provides both Wifi and Bluetooth. My bootup is showing some messages related to this device, maybe?: [ 1838.063937] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_inetaddr_changed: fail to get arp ip table err:-52 [ 4216.272913] ieee80211 phy1: brcmf_psm_watchdog_notify: PSM's watchdog has fired!
Is there any way for me to test the Bluetooth on this laptop to see if I have a damaged card? I need to know if I need to buy this replacement card. Wifi is working OK, Bluetooth is definitely not ok (even on Windows). I'm on Fedora 34 Workstation. If I decide to order a new Card, I think I could also get the: Intel Wireless 7260 WLAN WiFi 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n + Bluetooth 4.0 Dual Band Card or the: Killer Wireless N1535 Dual Band WLAN WiFi 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n + Bluetooth 4.0 M.2 Card - VM1D6 working on this laptop. Can anyone suggest which one might work better on Fedora?
thanks very much for your help.

A couple of general comments.
Bluetooth audio will lag behind the video due to the nature of wireless protocols. There are a few different audio protocols for bluetooth and some have less lag than others. Sometimes you can tell the player to adjust the relative audio position to correct for that.
Instead of replacing the internal bluetooth card, you could get a USB bluetooth adapter. They are generally inexpensive and can work well. See the recent thread here about those.
On my laptop bought in late 2016 (v6/7th gen cpu/Sunrise Point-LP chipset in lspci), I replaced the wifi/bluetooth card with an Intel AX200. I bought mine on Amazon. There are branded/boxed intel cards for about $27US. This card is at least one generation newer than the cards you are looking at. My card was from one of the random resellers that sell these cards but had decent reviews.
The card was a massive improvement in staying connected and working over the original one that came in the laptop. My original card was not an intel card.

There is an Intel alternative that was an option that came with my laptop (Intel Wireless 7260). I have the Broadcom alternative. I just don't know how to find out what card I could get that is compatible with my laptop. The aforementioned Intel card, I guess, would not be a newer generation than the one I already have; since it was offered originally with this pc. thanks very much for this info.

Thanks for the quick response Samuel. I believe the issues I'm having are much worse than normal. If all Bluetooth mice behave this way, no one would buy one. I will consider buying one of those adapters, I think it could come in handy. thanks,
Anil
The AX200 card is a Form Factors: NGFF M2 2230 A/E key, so if your current card is a M2 2230 A or E key then the card should fit, and will very likely work.
What kind of laptop is it and what intel cpu and chipset does it have? And what is the model of the current wifi card?

Hi Roger. I'm on a Dell XPS 9550, Intel® Core™ i7-6700HQ. I have the Dell Wireless 1830. and lspci outputs : Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless https://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=item&id=21150 Looking at this site suggests my card is effectively an NGFF M2 A/E. https://es.aliexpress.com/item/32792644213.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2esp
This laptop also shipped with 2 other options of cards: The Intel Wireless 7260 and the Killer Wireless N1535 (https://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=category&id=143&subid=...), so those would be a sure bet.
Are you suggesting I get the AX200? Any other suggestions? I'm not looking to get the most powerful card on the market, just something decent that is a bit more up to date. Maybe something refurbished I can find on parts-people.com ?
thanks again.
