mPCI card with 802.11ac standard

Mon May 22, 2023 10:36 pm

Hi guys,

i've been wondering if there are mini PCI (not PCI-E) cards that support 802.11ac.

I've been searching for some, but failed to find any.

Do you guys know anything about these, if they exist, or if it is even possible for them to exist? :D

Thanks for replies,

Michael

No. All Qualcomm Atheros chipsets (QCA) exist only in PCIe variants and original Atheros (AR) chips doesn't support AC.
There are some PCIe to PCI adapter cards (PCI1PEX1) but none with miniPCI connector and realistically it's not worth the money... just get RBM33 or other Mikrotik instead.
