Hey All! 

I just upgraded to the TP-Link AC1200 Wifi/Bluetooth PCIe Adapter, after first plugging it in it worked right away, a couple of days later I saw that it had Bluetooth (Don't know how I missed this).. But I went on the website and downloaded both drivers Wi-Fi and one for the Bluetooth - although I don't know if I am missing something but the Bluetooth doesn't work? I don't have the little Bluetooth icon in the task bar or when I try to connect anything it instantly pops up saying I don't have a Bluetooth connection  

Any suggestions on how I can fix this? I have tried resetting my PC and still nothing!

Thanks !

Many of these adapters use an internal USB header for the Bluetooth part. Did you plug in to a USB header on the motherboard?

I should have mentioned I did that aswell,  - I assume the wifi wouldn't work if the USB header was faulty right? I did use a SUPER old PCIe wifi adapter before this and it worked fine. Its just annoying the Bluetooth isnt working!

WIFi should work fine. You dont need the header plugged in for WiFi, only for Bluetooth.
