Are there options to get Bluetooth and WiFi with 1 adapter? (USB or PCIe)

Morata

I am also interested in knowing if there is a good WiFi 6 option available for desktop computers?

I would be willing to go PCIe or USB, I just want a quality solution.

something to note is that both these (unfortunately) decided to use pcie for the wifi, and usb for bluetooth.

 

so it's a "single adapter", but it's two seperate connection points.

AFAIK its ALWAYS done that way.  Nobody bothers with Bluetooth over PCIe as you don't need the bandwidth.

 

Also, all the AX cards I'm aware of are based on Intel laptop chipsets, which are designed to use both PCIe and USB.

Router:  Intel N100 (pfSense) WiFi6: Zyxel NWA210AX (1.7Gbit peak at 160Mhz)
WiFi5: Ubiquiti NanoHD OpenWRT (~500Mbit at 80Mhz) Switches: Netgear MS510TXUP, MS510TXPP, GS110EMX
ISPs: Zen Full Fibre 900 (~930Mbit down, 115Mbit up) + Three 5G (~800Mbit down, 115Mbit up)
