I have wifi on my motherboard. The journey took me to buying the antennas here https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01E29566W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and the wifi m 2.0 card here
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MZA1AB2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
This card has bluetooth 4.2 which is excellent with my bose qc-35 headphone as i have near zero latency.


What I didnt like about my built is :
in order to remove the RGB 3D mounting plate I had to remove the motherboard from the case as the 3 screws holding the 3d mounting thing are not accesible in my case.

I chose the latest m.2 card that is available on amazon that has bluetooth and wifi, there are newer cards based on intel roadmap, if you can get ahold of those card buy those instead and share your vendor here 🙂 The roadmap is available here https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Intel.

If I were going to do something like that , I would prefer a Killer Wireless-AC 1535. 😉

I bought Intel's 8265 with bluetooth and it works well I must say with my CH6.

I have the same card too. I spent too much time looking for the 9260NGW couldnt find any.

Ended frustrated with the 8265ngw which is a good card but would have liked bluetooth 5.0 with the 9260NGW. I think Intel needs to get out of its confort zone and release those cards now.

We need a company that can bring some competition in the m 2.0 market as newer technologies have been there for now a year and because of dominant position by market leaders, no newer version of cards have been released.

As cool as bluetooth 5.0 is, I don't think it's that needed right now.
