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.

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?

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?

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

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.

USB is definitely easier to implement tho, as you just plug it in and go.

***** 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.
