I solved it and all of my wireless-networking issues by installing Intel wireless cards in all of my computers. Broadcom and Atheros have always given me problems.

Does Intel make USB bluetooth sticks? If my laptop didn't come with a combo miniPCIe card I doubt the necessary antenna is there. In a desktop, I looked for mPCIe - PCIe x1 adapters with lots of antennas but I can't really find any in low profile. So... how did you do that?

For desktop, perhaps the Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I?

It's basically an Intel 7260 Wireless-AC/Bluetooth chip plus a PCIe adapter.

Thanks! However, http://www.amazon.com/forum/-/Tx18X5FNV15HHU8/ref=ask_dp_dpm... it looks like this does not come with a low profile bracket. And, are two antennas ... enough? Just my 6300 in my laptop have three.

Intel has a desktop version and it comes with both brackets! http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/wireless-products/dua... http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Wireless-AC-Desktop-Network-7260... Also, I will be adding to a somewhat old HP SFF so I am using the single PCI slot to add an additional USB header (Rosewill RC-100). PCI speed is plenty for USB 2.0.
