Wifi Card in M.2 Slot

>>61818901
hackintoshes are just as gay, you prancing la la homoman.

Why not use a wifi usb stick for 10$? These things have gotten really good in the last years

I personally wouldn't try it, physical size means nothing and m.2 has many pin configurations

it's not just for hackintosh, I just think it's cool to have 2 wifi cards, makes me feel like mr hacker

they're bulkier by nature than native wifi cards- the bulge, and minus one usb port

The second M.2 slot (the extended one) in there won't take a WiFi card so don't bother. I've tried. It's specifically for a WWAN card so putting in a WLAN device won't even get recognized. You can use it for an eSATA device though. I stuck an extra SSD in there and it works fine.

M.2 slots are just Sideways PCIe slots with an x4 interface.

However they're usually keyed for storage NvME, or for WLAN or similar add on cards.

>eSATA

meant to say mSATA

Just flash the bios to remove the whitelist.

Whitelist flashing won't do anything for the WWAN slot. It's physically not connected to any PCI lanes. It's only connected to the SATA controller.

So he could just replace the existing wifi card?

>>61819503
Yeah, the mini-slot is a real PCI device so you can stick whatever you want in there. The extended one isn't. It can only take a WWAN card or an mSATA drive.

>>61819478
Isn't WWAN USB only?

>>61819344
OP here, I see, thanks a bunch!

how does the 3g module work through a sata port?

I don't see any M.2 slots there.

I looked it up. Guess I was wrong. I figured since it takes an mSATA drive it was connected to the SATA controller but it seems to be on the USB controller. mSATA just werks over USB I guess?

>>61818901
why would you want to replace it? the default card can do even 5ghz networks so there should not be any reason to replace it.

Those are PCIe slots duder

Macos doesn't like that card.

How come that it doesn't work with a WLAN card then?
>>61819893
I wanna have 2 wifi cards for simultaneous torrenting in different networks or whatever this allows me, I just think it's cool to have two wifi cards

I ALREADY UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT AN M2 SLOT FAGGOTS PLS STOP BULLYING

>How come that it doesn't work with a WLAN card then?

WLAN cards are PCIe devices. WWAN cards aren't so they cripple the second PCI slot and just connect it to the USB controller.

>>61820154
it might work but i could not test it because i dont have a custom bios so it just says that its an unauthorized network device.
