I have a z270 extreme4 mobo by ASRock I purchased a (Intel Wifi Wireless-AC 8265 8265.NGWMG Dual Band 2x2 AC + BlueTooth M.2 Brown Box) Amazon btw, it won’t fit into the M.2 slot on the mobo. Really kind of frustrating at this point since I already tried a PCIe WiFi card and my computer wouldn’t post. Any help is appreciated thanks.
