Mikrotik x86 compatible wireless

Thu Nov 21, 2019 5:52 pm

Hello, I am trying to mount compatible hardware with mikrotik x86. configuration I have,
Motherboard: intel dq77kb
processor: intel xeon E3-1260L
Ram Memory: 8gb
SSD Msata: 32gb

I was able to install normal, but I would like to use the mini pcie slot for a wifi mini-pcie card, but the ones I have here do not recognize in the interfaces field, in system / resource in PCI detect. I have several of them here but none works. Is there anything I can do or can you point me to one that works?

thanks

x86 does have following drivers:
AR5211
AR5212
AR5416
AR9300
AR9888
QCA9888
QCA9984
So cards with above radio chipsets should probably work...
There is zero support for any non-Qualcomm/Atheros radios, so forget about any common Intel/Realtek wlan cards.

Have you tried anything from this list yourself? Maybe something outside this list? And do you know about the state of affairs with the compatibility of wifi modules from intel / realtek?

Not really

At least this does not work in V7

I requested a support ticket but so far not yet able to make it work.

Only the system recognised it

So, does it mean that even a Wi-Fi module from MikroTik doesn't work on MikroTik devices?

Did you contact the local support or the global support? What is the contact address?

I guess x86 in combination with Wireless is not the main focus of MikroTik...
