[SOLVED] Is Intel AC 9260 compatible with Asus Z390A

[klequis]

I'm wondering 2 things:

1. Is either the M.2 slot or the PCI-E slot on the Asus Z390-A compatible with the connector of the Intel AC 9260. The specifications seem to say so but looking at the connector on the 9260 and the slots on the Asus Z390-A, they appear to be different.

2. The 9260 says compatible with Bluetooth 5.1. Does this mean that adding this card will provide bluetooth connectivity?

Thanks!

While it may seem like a good idea to make things neat with adding a card to a motherboard slot, you will need to run antennas for the thing out of the case so a better idea is to use a PCIe wifi/bluetooth card or a USB one. I use this card for one of my desktops for wifi and bluetooth https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-802-11A...1H1SY6AQCJKS&refRID=6GP7VBXY1H1SY6AQCJKS&th=1
