I have an Asus CM1630 (https://www.cnet.com/products/asus-essentio-cm1630-athlon-ii-x2-220-2-8-ghz-4-gb-750-gb/specs/) and just ordered a ASUS PCE-AC55BT 802.11ac Wireless-AC1200 Bluetooth 4.0 PCIe / mPCIe adapter (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320293&nm_mc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel&cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_-) and it requires me to plug in the F_USB for some sort of connectivity. I can't find or may not have a F_USB so if you know where it should be or know I don't have one is there any work around? Thanks.
Not sure if my Mobo has Frontal USB?

if that asus motherboard have one, it would be use for the front usb port on the case, don't think they will have an open one on a budget board. but open your computer and look for it

Also, if my computer doesn't have USB can I just buy a USB Bluetooth "thing"?
You could get a usb pcie card. but from the other thread, you don't have any more open pcie slot
if you are not using the front usb port on your asus, then yes, you could use it.

I looked at the wireless PCIE card you purchased and I see no where for this card to need a USB connector unless your using it for Bluetooth.
in this case look on your motherboard (picture below) and in the circle are your 3 USB ports on your board. use any one of those that are not being used.
but you only need usb connectivity if you are looking to use this card Bluetooth abilities not for regular networking/internet

Okay, so, I have the device plugged in and my computer recognizes it but it won't connect or even prompt to connect to the internet..? I've ran the set up and everything.
okay,,
shut pc down
then make sure the card is properly seated into the motherboard, the wires to the card, disconnect the USB portion for a minute.
boot pc
now you should go to "start", "control panel ", " network and sharing"
click on " change adapter setting on the left column
you should see the new WIFI adaptoir at this point;
if not respond to me again I will keep an eye on this thread,
if the adapter is showing:
you should see on bottom right next to clock on your toolbar a WIFI icon like this
click on it once and if the unit is working, you should see the wifi networks available to you.

bottom right corner see the "^" icon, click on it then customize, then bottom of page (always show all icons) check that box and apply , now do you see the WIFI icon on toolbar ?
When I right click the "^" icon, the only option similar to customize is a settings icon and in that menu when I find "always show all icons in the notification center" is doesn't show wifi and in another interface it has the WiFi icon turned on.
could you answer a few questions here;
1.what operating system are you using
2. in device manager, if you right click on the wifi adaptor (under network) does it state in "working condition" in the status box ? (see image below what it could look like ( the example below is my Ethernet card but the result applies to the question)
