Question 1

will this fit in the z590 motherboard?

Accepted Answer

The ASUS PCE-AX3000 WiFi 6 Adapter only supports PCI-Express x1 standard, so you need to install the adapter in a PCI-e x1 slot on your motherboard.

Question 2

Is there a specific PCI-E *version* necessary for this? I don't see any indicators that it would need to be 3.0 or anything, and I'm out of 3.0 slots.

Accepted Answer

The ASUS PCE-AX3000 only supports the PCI-Express x1 standard, so it can be installed in a PCI-e x1 slot.

Question 3

Does it come with a sff case adapter bracket?

Accepted Answer

Answering this too late to help the original poster but yes it does come with an SFF/low profile bracket.

Question 4

Does it come with the antennae? I saw a review from someone who said his didn't come with any.

Accepted Answer

Yes, this came with two screw-on antennas.

Question 5

Any issues with Linux pcie-x16 slots?
Other adapters using the same chipset report problems when plugged into a non pcie-x1 slot. There is a bug open against the kernel for this.

Accepted Answer

The ASUS PCE-AX3000 only supports PCI-Express x1 standard, please install the adapter in a PCI-e x1 slot.

Question 6

Does this require a usb header on the motherboard like the PCE-AX58BT does?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you want to use the Bluetooth feature, you will need an open USB header. It comes with a connector cable for the purpose.

Question 7

how do you install the drivers? is there a website?

Accepted Answer

It comes with a CD with an autolaunch setup program for the drivers, or theoretically you can run the setup.exe program from the CD manually. But I had trouble getting the installer to actually work and ended up using Windows' "Device Manager" to install the drivers. Log in as administrator and go to start menu and type "Device Manager". From there find the card in the unknown devices section and open it. Go to Drivers tab and click "Update Driver". Choose to browse for files and browse into the CD to find the correct drivers folder. Windows should be able to install the drivers itself directly from the CD this way.

You can also find zip file downloads of the same files as are on the CD, on ASUS's website.
