      No updates if the WiFi card had any problems nor any nfo if the card was returned. IDK man just looks at the pages and more pages of Amazon's one-star reviews.
      From what I read from those bad reviews it almost looks like Amazon just repackages the returned faulty ones and sends them back out to the next unlucky customer.

    Great job! I love the fact you actually told people to turn off and unplug the PSU. So many want to take shortcuts and it can be absolutely fatal to a motherboard. It's rare, but I'm just not willing to risk it!

    Typically you either buy a motherboard with wifi and pay the extra or you buy a cheaper motherboard and pay for wifi later. In general, I don't think you did anything wrong. There is an advantage in buying a separate wifi card, especially if you upgrade the motherboard often. The same wifi card can be used when upgrading, thus reducing the overall cost of having to buy the wifi each time you upgrade the mobo. Overall, some people like to have everything on the motherboard so that they don't have to deal with additional work and compatibility, while others like the freedom of picking their favored product for each feature and not have to be locked in by the motherboard product.
    I think you did fine with everything but that is jmo.

      True. Also some people just don’t know that their motherboard doesn’t always come with WiFi. That’s what happened to me. I just bought the cheapest and highest rated motherboard and didn’t realize that it didn’t come with WiFi and Bluetooth. I made this video to help people that were in my same predicament. From now on though, I’m prob going to buy motherboards with it already built in. Cheers 👍
