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:
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.  |

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. http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20Z170%20Professional%20Gaming%20i7/ |

| 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. |

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. |
