01:25 The Bluetooth header solved my problem I was struggling with my card for over a year and when I switched the power to another header on Mobo it started working. A very big thanks to you
You should mention the Wifi Chipset. It is an Intel 7260 variant: 7260HMW. You should mention that you can replace the mPCIe card so you can upgrade to better wifi standards in the future.
I am always connected via ethernet in my room, but I opted to get one anyway, so if for whatever reason I move my PC somewhere else I won't be stranded...Also I have the ISP provided router which gave me 100Mbps on cable and when I connected to the wifi with this card from point blank range I got 230Mbps! Damn you Sagem!
what driver should i get for this card? I have tried downloading 7620ac driver from intel, the original win10 driver (That it self-installed when I did a fresh win10 installation) and the driver directly from gigabyte website...yet nothing works. Wifi is just extremely slow and drops after 1-2 min of usage. Any advice?
your remark was so accurate: a lot of times when you build pc's for people they'll want WiFi for some reason, it's so annoying specially if you're working on a small budget
Do you know any other PCI-E cards that have both WiFi and BT? The only other decent one I can find is the Intel 7260, so I'm thinking of getting this, but I'm still undecided and looking at other options.
Im curious as to what the little USB 2.0 Female Port does on the card... I know one of the comments said they attached their wireless mouse/keyboard dongle to it to get their mouse and keyboard to work but Im wondering... what about a Corsair H150i AIO cooler? The RGB function of the cooler is 9 pin USB controlled so technically you could connect a USB cable to the female port and power your RGB AIO cooler with it... One more thing, I currently have this PCIe wireless/bluetooth card connected via an NZXT internal USB hub which turns 1 USB header into 3 as well as 2 standard USB female ports...is it safe plug something into the female USB port on the Gigabyte wireless PCIe card while its being ran through the NZXT internal USB hub?
Would an RP-SMA extension cable work with this wireless card? I need to run the antenna to somewhere in my house that the cable on the antenna can't reach.
Actually yes you do...Why do you think that cable is included? Wifi will work fine but to get full Bluetooth 4.0 you need that cable. If your mobo doesn't have a 9 pin usb header then you use the standard USB (female) slot. The newer cards have a mini USB (female) slot but still come with a 9pin cable. You have a work around ..please share so i can cancel my Ebay order for a nine pin cable. I scoured the interweebs for a week and if you can prove me wrong I'd be happier then a two peckered billy goat. Then I can let the other 6,999,423 people who have ordered, waiting for or told me I needed that cable know they are all wrong as well. Thanks
im having issues with this card, ping spikes every 5 mins... i cant even play one single game without lag, went back to usb adapter and the problem is gone.
Use the black cable that came with the card and plug it into a USB header on the mobo. Should work fine then . The review isnt great . the Wifi and bluetooth are separate on the card . The bluetooth is a simple USB bluetooth "dongle" fitted onto the board , hense you need the USB connectivity.
I am in the same boat just with a different brand and have not found a work around. I ordered a cable from Amazon. www.amazon.ca/Duttek-2-Pack-Dupont-Female-Motherboard/dp/B06Y5C8RD6?psc=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duc12-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B06Y5C8RD6 Hope this helps M8
This should work if your mobo has a 9pin usb header if not then you will have to use a cable similar to the other link i provided..cheers www.amazon.com/USB-Internal-Motherboard-Extension-Cable/dp/B004RS5OYI
I installed it and my WiFi was working fine but my Bluetooth shows every device as "unknown". I tried updating all of the driver to no avail. Please help!
So I don't need to plug the USB thing into my motherboard for the WiFi to work? Because my motherboard is out of USB 2.0 ports. I don't really care if the Bluetooth works. A reply from anyone knowledgeable would be great. Thanks
+Michael Cawley I was looking at the Q&A's on Amazon and it seems that you don't need anything for the wifi just plug the card into your PCIE port and install the drivers, but you do need the USB for the bluetooth (I know you said you didn't care, but I just wanted to mention it).
Hey, i got a z170 Pro gaming mainboard with a i5 6600k and a gtx 970 running on Win 10... so the card doesnt work, well only bluetooth works fine, the wlan doesnt... i installed 10 different drivers and it still shows me: " there is no physical adapter installed" ... what can i do :/
for the love of god would someone post a link to the drivers to make this thing work? I have no physical connection I can use for internet so I have to download them on my laptop and go from there..
Today i bought the GC-WB867D-I (rev. 2.0) i dont get a lot out of the manuel. Can you tell me witch drivers you installled? I can't get bluetooth running. I am using Win7 64bit. I tried the drivers from the CD and now i went over to theses www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5157#dl any advise? And for what is the USB port on the card?
Finndu Okay my wifi connection is wonderful, do you know what wasn't in the right slot? I can't get bluetooth and it's driving me nuts. (I use it for a Microsoft Sculpt Mouse)
no sorry out of my head i dont remember. i had the antenna connected wrong to the card. Can it be a driver problem? Witch operation system are you using?
***** It was the best one I could find that was decently priced. Besides, I have no more USB headers on my MOBO. My Hue+ used the last one, and I fancy having brilliant, and fully customisable colours in my PC than Bluetooth capabilities. Besides, Bluetooth is wireless which results in input lag, which, if you game (like I do), can be disastrous.
***** I'm not sure you understand what I'm getting at. I had the intention when I purchased this card of using the Bluetooth as well. Also, seeing as this was decently priced, and had exceptional reviews, and specs, I went for it. However, I purchased the Hue+ shortly after, which arrived before the WiFi/Bluetooth card did. After I installed it, I realised that I had just used the last USB header. I made this comment asking if I'd at least get some function out of this card. Then, the more I pondered about it, the less I missed not having the Bluetooth functionality.
***** It depends on your preference. If you don't want to open or "Take apart" your computer. Then USB is the best option for you. If you prefer that the Bluetooth device is Inside the computer and you have enough knowledge to place it in yourself, then go for it. USB is definitely easier to implement tho, as you just plug it in and go.
+Ethan Maxwell Yeah like Hole InTheSeat said, its preference. if you don't want to open your computer up, the usb is the way to go. If you do want to open it up, your computer should have a slot to plug in the adapter for power.
+Hole InTheSeat hey can you help me, I'm trying to get bluetooth working, this is plugged in as a PCIE card in my motherboard inside the case itself. Wifi is working wonderfully, but bluetooth refuses to function. ._. I have a USB 2.0 header I'm using for this, and it just isn't showing bluetooth on Windows 10 Home 64bit at all. Even the Device Manager doesn't show it when searching for hardware changes.

that is one GINORMOUS heatsink

Not everyone has an ethernet port where there pc is
Is it a problem to replace the original antenna with different one? Would BT still work?
Do you know any other PCI-E cards that have both WiFi and BT? The only other decent one I can find is the Intel 7260, so I'm thinking of getting this, but I'm still undecided and looking at other options.
+blankaex in my case this is the only card I could find. I haven't bought it yet though.

dont get this wifi card, it has ping spike problems due to the intel chip, get the archer t8e, its much better
Is it installed inside of your computer or is it somewhere else?
the card goes into the system, but the wired antenna allows for the antenna to be outside the machine if wanted.
Would an RP-SMA extension cable work with this wireless card? I need to run the antenna to somewhere in my house that the cable on the antenna can't reach.
Is this the best WLAN card for you or do you know some better?
the reason I need something like this is simply because to be in my room I need more than a 100ft cord to route it around and get a wired connection.
You need to connect the usb to motherboard header or outside case to use bluetooth.
Jose Jose no you don't.
Actually yes you do...Why do you think that cable is included? Wifi will work fine but to get full Bluetooth 4.0 you need that cable.

im having issues with this card, ping spikes every 5 mins... i cant even play one single game without lag, went back to usb adapter and the problem is gone.
+JarheadLeeds noted. thanks for the comment
update your drivers and or chipset.
What is the usb adapter? im looking for a good one
Because it's crap if it loses to a USB card.
its because it has a chipset problem, i got a archer t8e and its been miles better
does this have a wifi direct software function like 2 phone of wifi direct does
Can this be used with a USB 3.0 header instead of 2.0 and if not, is the USB 2.0 header required for the WiFi or Bluetooth to function?
USB mainly acts like a relay to the USB plug on the board, both BT and Wi-Fi are handled through the PCIe connection.
I can't seem to get bluetooth to even show up for this.....can someone help me
Needs USB connection.
Thanks im going to try connecting it. My friend is the one who built my PC.
Use the black cable that came with the card and plug it into a USB header on the mobo. Should work fine then . The review isnt great . the Wifi and bluetooth are separate on the card . The bluetooth is a simple USB bluetooth "dongle" fitted onto the board , hense you need the USB connectivity.
Victoria, you're right but that is how all of them work.
can it be used with different antennas to plug on instead of using the antenna it comes with...cause i want to deal cables
Yes of course
Hi I just want to know if its also works without connecting the bluetooth to usb cable? I bought mine surplus and it doesn't came with that cable. thx
I am in the same boat just with a different brand and have not found a work around. I ordered a cable from Amazon.

Sorry for the late reply but did you solve your problem? Did you install the usb cable that came with the card?
Do you know if this card works under FreeBSD?
Harry of All Trades I have no idea, maybe if there are linux drivers..
i need a wifi or a 20 meter cable going through 2 rooms and doors. i chose wifi
doesn't recognize my card, installed all drivers and everything's plugged in
So I don't need to plug the USB thing into my motherboard for the WiFi to work? Because my motherboard is out of USB 2.0 ports. I don't really care if the Bluetooth works. A reply from anyone knowledgeable would be great. Thanks
+Michael Cawley I was looking at the Q&A's on Amazon and it seems that you don't need anything for the wifi just plug the card into your PCIE port and install the drivers, but you do need the USB for the bluetooth (I know you said you didn't care, but I just wanted to mention it).
+RRW alright, good to know. I have 2 unused USB 2.0 headers.
RRW how do you install the drivers is it on a disk because I don't have an optical drive
Sykes Maybe they are online? If not, I guess you need a USB drive.
RRW thanks
Mac-compatible?
Is it possible to get bluetooth support for UEFI with this card?
will the bluetooth work with an xbox controller?
Hey, i got a z170 Pro gaming mainboard with a i5 6600k and a gtx 970 running on Win 10... so the card doesnt work, well only bluetooth works fine, the wlan doesnt... i installed 10 different drivers and it still shows me: " there is no physical adapter installed" ... what can i do :/
+Kai Oestreich COntact Gigabyte customer support, they can help you better than I can
Ok I will... Thx ^^
Yes I downloaded a software which downloads drivers who are uptodate... I'll look up the name when I'm at home in like 2 hours ^^
Download driver booster free... It Sounds strange but it worked perfectly fine... Funny thing, even fixed an issue I had with my card reader...
I did not try it but I guess so... However the z170 got enough USB ports I think... ^^
for the love of god would someone post a link to the drivers to make this thing work? I have no physical connection I can use for internet so I have to download them on my laptop and go from there..
try advanced system care driver booster works great and is free.
+matthew neal dont listen to the guy above me, most likely a virus
does this card support 5g?
Can I replace the Intel 7260 with Bigfoot Killer 1202?
+Toàn Lý I guess, but why would you downgrade?
Unicorn Reviews Well, as I know that the Bigfoot Killer N1020 has wider range and is more stable than the Intel 7260C
Nice video mine isn't working I tried installing the cd says no device detected
+ShavedCouch If you never solved this, the solution is to download drivers from the website onto a USB drive.(on another computer obviously)
holy crap can someone pleease just tell me wtf the PCIe slot is
It's a slot on your motherboard used for expansion cards like WIFI adapters and graphics cards.
ik what it is I meant which one the card works with
Today i bought the GC-WB867D-I (rev. 2.0) i dont get a lot out of the manuel. Can you tell me witch drivers you installled? I can't get bluetooth running. I am using Win7 64bit. I tried the drivers from the CD and now i went over to theses www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5157#dl any advise? And for what is the USB port on the card?
+Finndu Did you ever get this working? I can't get bluetooth running either. :(
yeah i had somthing not in the right slot now everything works fine but i have a really bad mobile connection.
Finndu Okay my wifi connection is wonderful, do you know what wasn't in the right slot? I can't get bluetooth and it's driving me nuts. (I use it for a Microsoft Sculpt Mouse)
no sorry out of my head i dont remember. i had the antenna connected wrong to the card.
Can it be a driver problem? Witch operation system are you using?
Finndu 10 64bit.
does this work for gaming?
Worked would be ideal
no if you open a game the card explodes due to it being fueled by video game sensitive nitroglycerin.
flap cat why are u lying for. I'm. PC veteran
Wait, so you don't need to plug in the USB cables for just the WiFi? Sweet!
If you just want to have Wi-Fi connection, why would you buy a Wi-Fi+Bluetooth card?
***** It was the best one I could find that was decently priced. Besides, I have no more USB headers on my MOBO. My Hue+ used the last one, and I fancy having brilliant, and fully customisable colours in my PC than Bluetooth capabilities. Besides, Bluetooth is wireless which results in input lag, which, if you game (like I do), can be disastrous.
+Brad Oxford There are some cheaper PCI-e Wi-Fi only cards. If Wi-Fi is what you want, you might save some money and get one of those instead.
***** I'm not sure you understand what I'm getting at. I had the intention when I purchased this card of using the Bluetooth as well. Also, seeing as this was decently priced, and had exceptional reviews, and specs, I went for it. However, I purchased the Hue+ shortly after, which arrived before the WiFi/Bluetooth card did.

Then, the more I pondered about it, the less I missed not having the Bluetooth functionality.
i mean he said press dislike if you dislike so i disliked
Can this part work on an AMD system ?
Yes
xXOneJJXx Yes, so long as you have a free pcie slot. also you WILL need to use the usb connector for the bluetooth to work
