My motherboard did not come with pci-e card for Wifi. Is it built-in? Or is the card required?

The board should come with an Intel Cetrino Wireless-N 2230 card, connected to the mini Pci-e port in the board. You should see two small cables that go from the antenna connectors in the back of the board to the wireless card. If it's not there, You should ask for it.

You're in luck. The Wifi does not use the pci-e slot. If you zoom in on the picture you can see that the antenna connect at two coax points on the board. This is literally all you need to do to set up the Wifi.

The wifi/Bluetooth card is supposed to be close to the CMOS battery. You can't miss it. There are two wires that run from the card to the back of the board where the I/O is. If it's not there then that's a problem.

The mini pcie card is required for wifi, and if it was not included I would suggest exchanging the board for one that does. It does use an intel 802.11ac mini pcie card though, so if you did not want to go through the hassle of exchanging you could get one here - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IOS19E6/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1396336869&sr;=8-4π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

The wifi with this board is a removable PCIe wifi adapter. You can see it in the photos of this motherboard if you follow the cables back from the antennas.

After looking at the specs for the motherboard, I'd say no. I only see PCI-E slots spec'd, no PCI slots. This adapter's purpose is to allow the user to plug PCI-E cards into a motherboard equipped with PCI slots and not the other way around.

hello this is what I understandIf the module M.2 PCI Express is installed, the PCIE slot is disableddo not know if it's true I have not proven

Looking at the model specifications, it seems the only free slot you have available is a pci-e (express) slot. That's no problem though, here's an example of one with the correct interface: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166019&Tpk=rosewill%20rc%20411

Yes, you still need to install an internal card. Hopefully you have some vacant PCIe slots in your computer.

Only for the two USB 3 ports to work. Everything else will work fine. If you do not have a USB 3 connection on your motherboard, you can get a pci-e USB 3 card for cheap (~ $10)and use that. Just make sure that it also has the internal connectors.

it all depends on the wifi card that you are looking at but this board has of several different PCIe connectors that will fit most wifi cards.. this board also have free PCI connectors. So your wifi I can either be a PCIe mini-slot or PCIe 1x slot or a PCIe 4x slot or PCIe 16x slot. There aew also 3 PCI slot connectors. This board will handle most wifi cards available. Just be sure that it has a slot that will fit the connectors on this board that I have mentioned.

ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-half-WiFi-Link-Ultimate-N-6300-pci-card-633ANHMW-/250729311691 showed your system as compatible, I looked at Intel but didn't have much luck... FYI, the card has three antenna leads, the card I replaced only used two of my laptops three, and I wasn't successful getting the third lead attached -- will eventually attempt. Running with two leads didn't improve the performance (download/upload speed I'm paying for) so as my router is three feet away, using Ethernet.

If your motherboard has a slot called PCI express (PCIe) then it should wirk. The card comes with the CD with the drivers to load before insatlling the card.

What I see on the box says it is compatible with 3.0 motherboard, which means it's backward compatible. Should be just fine pci-e 2.0.

No Alejandro it doesn't. I also have a Asus Maximus V board that does have wi-fi built in and it's a pain. You are, in my opinion, better off with the Z and just buying a separate WiFi board like I did. I think it's a mistake to build a wifi module into the board, it's just one more potential problem.

No, it doesn't... I bought a separate wireless card to put in the PCI-e slot... no biggie, extra 34$ which was negligible considering how much I saved in the setup

It runs off of your motherboards power so it deosnt need a special power plug from your power supply. You do need a PCI-E slot, which most modern mobos have, but I would get intouch with your mobo manufacturer to make certain.

I got an email from their techincal support that this does NOT have an open PCI slot in it. :(

This computer comes with a network card built in but it does not come with WiFi

Yes, the motherboard has a built in LAN connection. If you mean Wi-Fi, you'll need a wi-fi card. Hope this helps.

not built in but have card installed and it works great ... mine has been functioning for us very well and the wife sells on eBay and uses the WiFi connection to our intranet.
