Hi,
Still rocking my Z170 Classified 4-way with a 6700K since day 1 and no problems. However, I have always used a TP Link Powerlink for Internet and have had a few issues recently with signal dropping. 
Was thinking of changing over to WIFI and had read that the Z170 with M.2 slots could use M.2 Wifi Cards.

Can anyone advise which ones would be compatible with the Z170 Classified 4-Way ?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

    What Wifi router do you have? If you rent a modem/router combo I would recommend trading it out if you haven't recently. A lot of people sit around with old ones for long after it becomes old which can result in slow Wifi regardless of what card you get. As for the card itself I wouldn't spend a ton right now since Wifi 6 options are starting to come onto the market and the FCC just cleared the use of 6Ghz use in future Wifi products. Odds are good you would want to upgrade to Wifi 6 6Ghz in the near future for as lag free gaming as possible of course it will take both the card and the router supporting it.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.

    I have my Virgin Broadband Router support up to 80mhz so my Killer AC1500 support up to 160mhz so I have set to 80mhz which is brilliant signal! If you get Router that support up to 160mhz it will be no problem for you!

    I can order that card off amazon.co.uk - do I need anything else like an antenna or some sort of connector etc ? Many thanks 🙏
