Question Asus Rog B450 F motherboard m.2 problem

[nicknick1212]

Hi im tryin to figure out where my m.2 key e port is on my asus b450f mobo i recently upgraded and want to install my wifi/bluetooth module but i cant find a e key port anywhere on this board ? but ina review on here it says clearly there is a m.2 e port for wifi ??? The Asus Strix B450-F Gaming costs $119.99 at Amazon and is, for the most part, a fully featured board and based off its big brother from the X470 chipset. The B450-F gaming includes six SATA ports, *two M.2 slots for storage plus an M.2 Key E slot for a Wi-Fi module**, premium audio, USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) ports, as well as tastefully implemented RGB LEDs. A full list of specifications are found below..........soo if anyone knows where or if this is wrong pleasee lmk im trying to install this module asap thanks...

The review was

And he stated it here:

The Asus Strix B450-F Gaming costs $119.99 at Amazon and is, for the most part, a fully featured board and based off its big brother from the X470 chipset. The B450-F gaming includes six SATA ports, two M.2 slots for storage plus an M.2 Key E slot for a Wi-Fi module, premium audio, USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) ports, as well as tastefully implemented RGB LEDs.

It is very misleading for anyone using this information to purchase a board with an M.2 Key E Slot and then the board doesn't even have that slot.

on top it also said
No M.2 heatsinks
No Wi-Fi
Higher idle power consumption

return it.
get a motherboard that have wifi in the name

That'd be the mk II of the board the original doesn't have it

In the user manual the 3rd M.2 slot is not described, lol

Spoiler: but it's there

I bought Intel Dual-Band Wireless AC9461 WLAN + Bluetooth 5.0 just to get a Bluetooth, apparently the that extension card doesn't work for me
