so I have a z87 Pro, and I found the bluetooth a load of gash!! Basically My PC is on the desk about 5 inches away from my left had.. I have a PS4 controller, was excited to have it run wirelessly, only to find I get drop outs all the time and can only sit at a certain angle (with the controller over my keyboard) I tried everything, drivers, resets, yada yada... Then I spend £1.75 on ebay, get a BT dongle stick it in and disable onbaord BT, and it works better than I could have imagined...?!?!? Is this just me, or is the ASUS BT a POS?!?!?! Why would they even ship boards with such crappy chips like that?!?
It is not you my good old friend Li , you are absolutely correct , integrated BT on asus boards are mostly crap , i had that problem before on Asus mobos where sending pictures from my phone to my pc via BT the signal suddenly drops ans stopped working . I am glad you found a cheap and reliable solution bro . Regards: Angelo
just getting controller set up for NFS mate!!!... for some reason Playstation controllers are all I can use for racers despite never having a Playstation since the PS1...lol See you on the streets soon brah!
Did you plug in that extra wifi antenna, because you need that to work it properly.. its not just for wifi but also for bluetooth as a transmition beacon
I have the same board. If you open the metal box (there's two tiny screws on the bottom), you'll come to find out it's a mini-PCI-e card. Rip out the crappy Atheros card and install one of these awesome Intel ones: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106190
Nice one, I'm settled with the dongle just now.. but will probably do this at some point in the future
It was worth the change for me since I got a new wireless AC router. The stock wi-fi on the Z87-Pro is wireless-N.
