KingRay,

Click my name and send me the private Aurora R4 service tag number. I only found a reference to an optional integrated bluetooth module. I see several addin BT/WiFi cards on the Aurora R4 parts page.

someone in this community said before that the built in wireless adapter in R4 is inferior compared to common inexpensive wireless dongle, which can run in Win 7.

Not on Motherboard. It was an optional module for (mostly) Windows-7 systems. Older WiFi and BlueTooth versions (BT-2 and WiFi-G maybe ?)

I agree with @redxps630  ,

It's much easier to just get an industry-standard USB-based WiFi Adapter. Basic and working 64-bit drivers are already in Windows-10.

Those Dell Proprietary radio-modules connect to a Proprietary Dell-USB-like Hub on the Alienware Proprietary MIO-Board.  IIRC, there was a WiFi one also. I could never get my BlueTooth one working on my Alienware Aurora-R1 in Windows-10_64bit (so I bought one of these BlueTooth Dongles for cheap ).

Excellent. I was looking at those options, because I couldn't imagine how much good it would do inside this thick case on my motherboard.  I'm maxed out on USB connections, but I could purchase something and exchange it for another connection that I don't use all the time.  Any recommendations for the WiFi adapter?  Returns on the internet are a pain if the part doesn't work.

I'll update this after I receive my Linksys AE3000. Will accept your response as a solution if it goes well.

@KingRay 

Those 4 wire connections in the picture are USB for bluetooth and wifi.

Please press the blue Accept as Solution button below if this answers your question.

Best option is $20 usb wifi.  Unless you specifically need bluetooth dont get it.  The KNOB vunerability is real and bluetooth interferes with 2.4 ghz wifi. You cannot take advantage of 802.11AC wifi unless you have a newer dual band router. EIDEMAX is plug and play no drivers to download and it works instantly.

If you want wireless mouse and keyboard use Logitech unifying keyboard and mouse instead. That way if you lose dongle or it breaks its easily replaced.

Thanks for your response. My motherboard doesn't have anything WiFi on it. All I was trying to do is get my slammin' wireless headphones to work with my desktop. I tried a couple of solutions, but they didn't work. My WiFi is going through my modem/router, not this computer. Oh well; I tried.

They would not be WiFi, but Bluetooth...

Right, @Vanadiel. I'm sleepy. Excuse my terminology, grammar faux pas.

Look back in the thread. Any existing Dell/Alienware Bluetooth adapter will not work in Windows-10, due to proprietary-interface and/or missing driver support.

However, you just buy one of these. It will give your computer Bluetooth capabilities again, and you can then Pair your headphones to it.

I'm not running Windows 10 or 11. What made you say that, @Tesla1856? Is the link for computers running previous versions of Windows???

I looked at it, and I'm out of USB ports directly to my computer. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate.  I've virtually given up on this, because I didn't have the right motherboard to begin with. I purchased this machine before Bluetooth became popular or I would've ordered the right one. Thanx anyway.
