Wi-fi system: TP Link Deco M5 mesh network Is that speed about what I should be getting? I'm getting 188/144 Mbps up/down now, compared to the 14/16 I was getting with the USB wi-fi, so that's cool.Ī follow-up for anyone who might still be reading. It's the MSI Z170A M5 for anyone keeping score. It for sure doesn't have built-in wi-fi, though. In the midst of this upgrade, I got laid off so my work laptop didn't matter much and for some reason the thought of "my computer doesn't have gigabit" stuck with me and I bought an unnecessary PCI-e expansion card. My girlfriend's iMac for sure did support it, but my WORK laptop didn't. When we upgraded, I make sure our computers could take advantage of it. I realized I got my wires crossed when we first upgraded to gigabit fiber. Thankfully I didn't have to go through disabling COM ports, etc, having never done that you were right about the gigabit on the motherboard. I kept the USB 9-pin cable connected to the same motherboard connector, and left the card's USB-A port empty Somehow it made more sense to me when I built the computer, and couldn't wrap my brain around it this time. I went into the motherboard's manual, but honestly couldn't figure out of I was "overloading" the PCI lanes.
#Gigabyte gc wb867d i bluetooth installation driver
re-deleted and re-installed the wi-fi drivers, but not the bluetooth driver (this wi-fi card also has bluetooth).I'll note that I have no idea if that card even worked in that slot, because the day after I installed it, I had to move my computer out of the room with the hard-wired connection, into the kitchen where I've had to work since, on wi-fi.Moved this wi-fi card down to the slot the LAN card was in.Unfortunately I tried a few different things, so i don't know what the silver bullet was. I've been having to use a USB wi-fi dongle that constantly just drops out on me so that I have to turn off wi-fi and turn it on again, and then every 5-6 times, that stops working and I have to unplug it, and plug it back in again. Ugh.why do networking components always seem to have such GARBAGE documentation?Īnyway, I've submitted tech support requests from Gigabyte and Intel, and haven't gotten a reply after 4 days, and pulling my hair out. Although.I have to assume this is just a cord for USB pass-through for the seemingly un-used USB port on the card itself? Or.maybe the cord isn't plugged in to the right spot on the motherboard? It says to connect the "USB" cable to the "F-USB" connector on the motherboard, but I didn't have one, so I plugged it into the JUSB1 connector. I wonder.if maybe I have too many things plugged in to my motherboard's PCI-e slots? (video card, gigabit network card, and this wi-fi card (my motherboard doesn't support gigabit, nor did it have built in wi-fi) along with an M.2 drive) Is that a thing? Buy it.I've tried un-installing and re-installing both Gigabyte's and Intel's drivers, i've tried restoring bios defaults (a suggestion I saw somewhere), many re-boots, to no avail. I was expecting to be taking it on and off everytime i moved my rig but the thing just stays there now looking like some hot shot CEO racing down the road in his drop top red ferrari a good magnet as wellĤ) the best part, and what made me write this review, is that i can lay the antenna flat, and stick in on the side of my case!!! makes it look like my case is wearing some super weird looking bluetooth earpiece. I love it, was worried about having and external antenna but lemme tell you, this bad boy does not dissapoint.ġ) It does not feel cheap, in fact it seems to be built rather nicely.Ģ) the antenna part swivels!!! it goes from laying flat, to a 90 degree upright stance, back down to laying flat on the other side.ģ) the base is magnetic. Most people have covered the performance/install side of it.What I found to be the best part about it, something that no one touched on, is the ANTENNA!!!!!!!!!
