    Hi all,

    I've got my UDOO x86 advanced installed xubuntu 16.04.02.
    The wifi is working fine, the bluetooth seems recognized by system, but never detected any device.
    I've searched the keyword "bluetooth" on the forum, there's nothing related.
    Is there anyone who have the same problem?

    Thanks!

    Hi waltervl,

    Thanks for the reply.
    I have no luck with ac3168 bluetooth.
    My final working bluetooth is with additional usb bluetooth dongle.
    And I switched to Ubuntu 16.04.02, with many try-on-error.
    Anyway, finally get it working, thanks!

    Using another bluetooth device is not what should be the solution. Anyone elso got bluetooth working on the Intel® Dual Band Wireless Wi-Fi AC and Bluetooth 4.2 module (Intel® AC3168)?

    I got it working, but I absolutely HAD to have the antenna connected to the AUX connector of the Wifi Card (nearest the corner of the card).

    I had the same issue but in windows 10, Eric is correct you must put the antenna on the auxiliary output on the AC/ Bluetooth card, now my Bluetooth is working perfect as before the Bluetooth device had to be within 5 inches of the board to connect.

    but if I put the antenna to the aux output, WIFI is not working correctly. Is there a second antenna missing?

    There are dual antenna sets available (Amazon, eBay) with each having a slightly different design for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Just be sure they have the tiny Ipex Mhf4 connectors if you are using them with a NGFF M.2 network card.

    In my received package there was only one antenne : RFPCA308_01 Rev.01
    1.) So I don't know - is it for WIFI or Bluetooth
    2.) Where is the second antenna?
    3.) Why is the package not complete after waiting sooooo long? Even screws for the WIFI and SSD are missing.

    Does it mean that if I'm going to use wifi and bluetooth at the same time, I'm going to need the second antenna?
    If yes, why isn't it included in the package?

    From the Intel FAQ: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking/000005821.html

    Can you use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi radios simultaneously (can they coexist)?

    Bluetooth and Wi-Fi radios share the same frequency band (2.4 GHz). Bluetooth Wireless Technology uses frequency hopping techniques to prevent conflicts from causing wireless connectivity issues. However, when Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios transmit and receive data in the same frequency band simultaneously, performance may suffer. On Intel Wireless Adapters that support Bluetooth, the main antenna is dedicated to Wi-Fi, but the auxiliary or secondary antenna is shared between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

    Well, I'll say that when I initially set things up I had the antenna plugged into the AUX port on the Wifi/BT board and I got ZERO wifi signal, but BT worked fine. When I moved it to the Main port on the board Wifi worked fine, and I got basically no BT. Personally I care more about Wifi than BT so I'm going with that setup. But thanks for the info for getting the 2nd antenna if we want it.

    Apparently there is a Kickstarter update with more info about missing antennas.
