Can you guys give me some advise on what I should install to make my desktop wireless and bluetooth capable? I would like something that is fast and reliable. I have to admit that i am clueless on what I need. I seen this on the egg but not sure if there are better choices out there. Please Advise. Thanks

I believe that is a mini pci-e device for laptops not desktop pci-e. For a desktop PCIe connector if you want wireless and bluetooth, THIS is the Intel adapter that you want.

Do you have any experience with this adapter? My local computer shop wanted to sell me a Cisco PCi card. It cost around $80. Do you know what would work the best?

WHat are your thoughts on this?

None of these have Bluetooth so I guess I will get a USB adapter.

I've used that Intel adapter for several clients that wanted dual channel with the integrated bluetooth 4.0, and it worked well.

I have also used a couple of the ASUS PCEE-AC68 recently and they are fine but the drivers are not mature IMO -- I would only use that adapter if you have one of the high end ASUS AC routers. The ASUS does not support bluetooth.
