WIRELESS PCI USB Bluetooth Connection

joe sarge · 1 Nov 2020 at 17:56

Just bought a new wifi pci card which comes with Bluetooth 5.0. However, I didn't check whether my motherboard has spare pins and it turns out I don't.

Is there any way around this at all?

Thank

What do you mean spare pins ?

It should just slot into the motherboard into the correct slot.

@mickyflinn I wonder if they mean that they can't find any "small" PCI Express 4 ports?

@joe sarge what's your motherboard and the make and model of the adapter?

I think the Bluetooth part of the WiFi card plugs into the usb header on motherboard

If it is a lack of USB ports, this may help.
