WIFI/BT - I saw couple of reviews finding fault with the wifi card, also dont see slot for ext antenna. Can somebody confirm if wifi is working fine?

I have not had problems with wifi. Not the strongest radio but not terrible either. I have more than 10 of these and hadn't seen an issue.

the WIFI is not especially good, it gives very poor signal strenght and bandwidth So I had to use the RJ45 instead. And there is no connector for external antennas so there is no way of strengthen the signal.

Wish I could help. Got mine because i have a wireless system and that's what i wanted. Sadly, still in the box. Your question had motivated me to open it. I'll publish a review shortly.

I would advise you to return it. I went through the same thing. What I learned from an IT friend....I live in a townhouse complex, the wifi could not distinguish my wifi code due to so many other wifi subscribers near by. I do think he was correct in his evaluation. I gave the printer to my sibling. He lives in a home. No problem receiving a connection to his wifi subscriber. This meant no more off line nonsense. I hope that helps.

Do yourself a big favor and visit the newertech website, and contact them. The thing worked great up until I upgraded to 10.9.5 and it was that very moment I needed a patch for the antenna to work. They sent a patch to me via email. They may have all patches on their site now. Either way, it's best to contact them before buying.

Yeah... ish. I have it in my router right now and it works great in the 2.4ghz band. Im working on getting the 5ghz band up and running but I seem to be running into country code problems or it might be possible that this card doesn't support AP mode in 5Ghz mode but Im hoping for the former :) kernel 3.13. EDIT. Talked to a intel kernel dev. 5ghz is disabled for regulatory reasons.

There is no problem with Wifi. I own a UL30 and it's been working well. Just FYI

1st. This is WiFi device and not a BT.2nd. Fully agree with doctor T. rplaced 2 of those and finally switched and successfully using Ubiquiti Networks UniFi AP http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-UniFi-Enterprise-System/dp/B004XXMUCQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1408578990&sr;=1-1&keywords;=ubiquiti

No built in wifi on this board.I recommend one of these: Etekcity® High Power 802.11 B/N/G 300M USB Wireless 1000mw Wifi Network Adapter with Dual 6 dbi Antenna and two extra 10 dbi Antenna. Not only does it have strong gain due to the large antenna's, since it is external you can move it around to find even a better signal.

If WiFi is not working, make sure you have updated your z87 drivers. In some cases, you can't even use your Ethernet port without updating mobo drivers. I would call Asus if issues persists after getting updated drivers. You might have to download the drivers onto an external in order to apply them if you're unable to connect to the internet. I am able to detect my Wireless networks with 3 bars, except my router is 4 feet away. So definitely attach the antenna that came along with it.

Not exactly sure about the quality of the wi-fi. I have no problems. You will make a backup of your entire hard drive though. Plenty of room

I tried installing the toshiba BT stack drivers. They seemed to work better for me. I was able to connect all if my BT devices with no problems. Google Toshiba BT stack.

It is my understanding that will only work with the system base, meaning that will not work directly with WiFi. (NOTE:If someone finds the way to have this working directly on WiFi, I will be very happy learning how, since mine only worked with the base and as per the book for about a day and no more, so I am stuck with a system that doesn't work regardless)

Building a Full Tower PC will this work on a Desk Top? Sorry I am a Newbie! If I use this card what antennae can/ should be used with Tyco Wifi & Bluetooth Antenna and why would I need a Half to Full Height Mini PCI Express(PCI-E) Card Bracket Adapter?Thanks in advance!!

Yes, BT works fine, is the only function that works, the rest of the system is garbage... don't buy it. Spend a few bucks more but get something good. My system broke down after 6 months. No spare parts, in summary... stay away from Boss.

The one I received DID NOT HAVE NFC antenna installed. (It is shown in the image, but was NOT in the received item. I decided to try to transfer the antenna from my phone to the new back, but I cracked the new back in the process, so I could not return it. Also, the other antennas (wifi, bluetooth) are not shown in the image, but were in fact included in the back.I later purchased another replacement part from an auction site which came with all antennas, and had multiple peel-away protective plastic films that the ePartSolution did not come with, which made it seem like a true repair depot part.

I am suppose to have free WIFI also but they have a very cheap system & I am at end of park but the antenna works good in the window of my trailer & outside but if 4 to 6 people are using the Parks WIFI we start having problems but as far as the Antenna goes I would say it is worth the money(again that is just my opinion in my situation)-Good Luck
