It also has a convenient USB port (you need your own A-to-A cable for this) to plug into if you don't have a free USB header to enable Bluetooth. It comes with the USB header cable which is used to connect Bluetooth.

Once the bracket is secured it's rock stable. It fits snugly enough in the slot, but it still needs to be secured. The antenna cable is only about 2.5', so if your PC is on the floor, the antenna won't go much higher than the top of your desk surface.

The card has only a full height bracket, so unless you feel like modifying the bracket to make it fit a half height case, I would advise finding a different card. In the three weeks I've had it, it's been very reliable and fast. Was going to get the v2.1 version with the 7260 card in it, but this became available on the exact day I went to order it, so I decided to chance it, and haven't been disappointed. This network adapter is just not worth the trouble! Now it is gone again and I am tired of pulling the card and restarting and putting it back and. Six months later: I give up! The Bluetooth worked for a while, off and on.

If I end up buying another card in defeat I will update this review. Voila! Bluetooth! Until now, Win10/64b had stubbornly refused to acknowledge the existence of Bluetooth on the card. Then finally shut down, added the cable and restarted a third time. I pulled the card out and restarted my computer, shut down, put it back in and restarted again (without the BT cable). In my case, I was finally able to get it working by following the recommendation of another reviewer: pull it out, restart the computer without it, shut down, put the card back in. Several reviewers here on Amazon note that BT works inconsistently, or sometimes stops outright after weeks or months of use.

The Gigabyte support site is opaque, to say the least, and support for this device is limited to 'download the driver again.' Now that online meetings are the norm I need it for headphones. I thought I had not connected the cable, but never opened up the case to verify. I didn't need it at first, so though there was no Bluetooth signal I didn't try to run down the problem. It drops occasionally, but always picks up quickly if the signal is actually present.īluetooth is another issue entirely. WiFi seems to be working as well as it can be, given the inadequacies of the current computer location.

I purchased this specifically because it has an external antenna. I bought this card a couple of years ago. I highly recommend this product, plus, the antenna has a magnet on the base, so you can stick it on the PC! Antenna cable is shorter than expected, so you cant set it far from the port, but no biggie If you have any questions, feel free to let me know. Since turning it to only 2.4 I have had 0 problems. My 5G kept dropping, and since it was running on dual-band, this would make the ping drop. Click that and then for the dropdown box on the right I just changed it from dual-band to -options 4- 2.4 GHz b/g. Just focus on the very first option on the left, 802.11a/b/g wireless mode. Once there, go to advanced and there's a list of big words and options. I went into device manager -> Network Adapters -> and then right-click the dual-band wireless and click properties. I looked around the internet and couldn't find anything, so I just tried stuff. This did not help me, and I had no idea what to do.

Although the drivers weren't updated, I would recommend keeping them installed for maximum efficiency.

I tried many things, I updated the drivers (the best way to do this is to go into device manager -> Network Adapters -> and then right-click the dual-band wireless and look for an update and install it. Not bad for daily life and browsing and streaming, but for gaming this was not ideal. Troubleshooting: I had been having some issues with the wifi getting dropped every few seconds or so. Once they're on, your wifi signal will go WAY up. It screws onto the two yellow nut looking things on the back where you would expect them to, doesn't matter which is which, just screw them on. Setup after setup: After you have your computer up and running, it's advisable that you use the antenna that comes with the wireless adapter. Put the PC back together and then make sure everything is good to go and start it up! Wifi kicked on instantly, and the connection was pretty decent. You literally plug it into a PCI-e slot on the MB and then connect the USB connector to the MB. Setup: Setup was fairly straight forward. The packaging could've been a little more secure, but nothing to worry about! Open it up and it comes with the wireless adapter card, a disk with drivers (didn't need to use), an antenna, a USB connector to plug it into the motherboard, and an instruction manual. I ordered the product with free shipping, so it arrived in around a week and a half or so.
