You have a Mini-PCIe slot to use for Wifi/BT but I much prefer slot based PCIe cards as to me they seem to perform far better.

Ahh I feel like an idiot. It clearly reads "Supports Bluetooth" which obviously doesn't mean included. Thanks for the reply. I need to get a PCI Express wifi/bt card.]]> Thu, 15 Dec 2016 14:57:42 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4034&PID=20737&title=fatal1ty-z170-support-bluetooth-devices#20737 <![CDATA[Fatal1ty Z170 - Support Bluetooth Devices? : ValiantThor wrote:I just completed...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4034&PID=20736&title=fatal1ty-z170-support-bluetooth-devices#20736 Author: wardog

More specifically here is the Motherboard in question:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017M5MI0U/?tag=pcpapi-20

Wireless LAN- Supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac
- Supports Dual-Band (2.4/5 GHz)
- Supports high speed wireless connections up to 867Mbps
- 2 antennas to support 2 (Transmit) x 2 (Receive) diversity technology
- Supports Bluetooth 4.0 / 3.0 + High speed class II




Where is it you see the "Wireless LAN' specs you posted above ?

The I/O backplane doesn't have places for antennas to be mounted.


"Wireless LAN' does not appear on this MBs spec sheet on ASRocks product page(s) for it.

I just completed a gaming system build and i may be mistaken but shouldn't I be able to connect a Bluetooth headset to this MB?

Here is the build i have:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/924PQV

More specifically here is the Motherboard in question:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017M5MI0U/?tag=pcpapi-20


I cannot seem to find any settings to allow Bluetooth devices. When I click Start > Settings > Devices


I don't see the Bluetooth option. The spec sheet for this motherboard shows Bluetooth wireless:

Wireless LAN- Supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac
- Supports Dual-Band (2.4/5 GHz)
- Supports high speed wireless connections up to 867Mbps
- 2 antennas to support 2 (Transmit) x 2 (Receive) diversity technology
- Supports Bluetooth 4.0 / 3.0 + High speed class II



Can someone help shed some light on this for me? I'm trying to connect my Bose QC35 Headphones and hopefully other Bluetooth devices in the future. Do I need another part? I have searched for internal Bluetooth receivers but they are all just WiFi cards with BT built in which is what this MB has!!! lol 
I for one think that a motherboard of this class should be able to support Bluetooth devices without the need of additional hardware. I have already downloaded all Windows 10 64 bit drivers and software and have gone through the installation processes along with the windows updates. This is a fresh Windows 10 Pro 64-bit install with all updates current.
