Looking for an affordable way to connect your PC to WiFi and Bluetooth using a USB adapter. You have a mini PCIe and a PCIe X4 slot available. Staying within a $25 budget is your goal.

Similar options include devices with dual-band wireless and Bluetooth 5.0 features.

Is that the M.2 port? I don’t have a dedicated M.2 slot. I purchased a $5 WiFi card that resembles it, but it didn’t function properly.

It would be a mini PCIe interface.

I think I probably didn't get the mini PCIe slot. Sorry about that. I'm curious what my system is actually using... edit: this is the WiFi card I purchased. About two weeks ago I should have checked the compatibility list at the bottom of the listing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Intel-W...2374605151 Updated April 24, 2019 by star_pilot475 More Info

I personally utilize the Gigabyte GC-WB1733D-I, a PCIe Wi-Fi card compatible with 802.11ac 2.4 and 5GHz bands, plus Bluetooth 5.0. This version delivers speeds reaching up to 1733Mbps. I purchased it for £28 on Amazon UK, and it has performed excellently since installation. It fits into a PCIe slot without needing any drivers.
