Sorry guys, I just got a new motherboard for my first PC build and I’m really new to tech. It’s a Gigabyte z590 UD AC. When I opened it, I found a tiny tower-like device inside—like a router? What is it? 😅 Thanks for the help!

It's a WiFi antenna with two connectors that attach to the back ports.

Ethernet works when available. I recommend using the antenna if you need Bluetooth functionality.

Yes, you can use Ethernet cable for both purposes.

You can't connect both Ethernet and WiFi at the same time. However, you can use Ethernet for a stable internet connection and Bluetooth through an antenna.
