NUC DC3217IYE and Intel 3160HMW Dual Band WiFi Bluetooth PCIe card (half size)

[NKont]

Hello,

I have a Nuc DC3217IYE and I just plugged a PCIe card so to add bluetooth (and wifi).

The card is an Intel 3160HMW Dual Band WiFi Bluetooth PCIe half-size card. I also installed the latest drivers (Intel PROSet/Wireless Software and Drivers and Intel Wireless Bluetooth Software for Windows 10 - 64bit version)

I can now see a bluetooth icon (but no Wifi ?) but in any case, Windows doesn't seem to detect anything : I tried to detect my android smartphone or pair my bluetooth speaker = nothing found

Is there something I forgot or that I am missing ?

I recently noted Intel Customer Support saying that the Bluetooth package needs to be installed before the WiFi package (though I previously thought it didn't matter). I suggest that you

(a) uninstall the two driver packages that you currently have installed

(b) reboot (important!)

(c) install the Bluetooth package followed by the WiFi package...

Hope this helps,

...S

Hello Nikko,

We understand you are not able to connect to WiFi nor Bluetooth* after installing the Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 in your NUC. Please check the following and let us know if this helps:- Make sure that the antennas are firmly plugged to the connectors of the wireless adapter, as seen in step 3 of the http://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/boardsandkits/nuc-kits/DC3217IYE_IntegrationGuide06.pdf Intel® NUC Kit DC3217IYE Integration Guide, and in pages 5-6 of the http://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/boardsandkits/nuc-kits/DC3217IYE_UserGuide02.pdf Intel® NUC Kit DC3217IYE User Guide.- Do a clean install of the recommended driver versions for your new adapter:https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26510/Intel-Wireless-Bluetooth-Software-for-Windows-10?product=75442 Intel® Wireless Bluetooth® Software for Windows® 10 [19.30.1649]https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26528/Intel-PROSet-Wireless-Software-and-Drivers-for-Windows-10?product=75442 Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software and Drivers for Windows® 10 [19.30.0]- Check the Device Settings and confirm Bluetooth* is enabled. Also, verify WiFi is On in the Network & Internet Settings.Regards,Jonathan.
