Upgrade a Mini PCIe WLAN Slot for Modern M.2 WiFi Cards
Convert an existing Mini PCIe wireless card slot into an M.2 NGFF Key E / Key A+E interface and install a compatible M.2 2230 WiFi and Bluetooth card. Ideal for upgrading older laptops, mini PCs, embedded computers, industrial systems, and repair projects without replacing the motherboard.
Supports Key E and Key A+E Wireless Cards
Designed for compatible PCIe and USB based M.2 2230 wireless cards, including models compatible with Intel AX210, AX200, 9260, 8265, 8260, BE200, and many other Key E wireless adapters. The adapter routes PCIe signals for WiFi and USB signals for Bluetooth, allowing modern wireless cards to operate in systems equipped with a Mini PCIe WLAN slot.
Important Compatibility Information
This adapter supports standard PCIe/USB wireless cards only. It is not compatible with CNVio or CNVio2 wireless cards, including Intel 9461, 9462, 9560, AX201, AX203, AX211, AX411, and Killer 1550. It is also not compatible with SSDs, NVMe drives, SATA drives, WWAN modules, LTE modules, 3G modules, 4G modules, or 5G cellular devices. Some manufacturers may implement BIOS whitelist restrictions that prevent unsupported wireless cards from operating.
Simple Installation
Install a compatible M.2 2230 wireless card into the adapter, secure it using the included mounting screw, then install the adapter into the Mini PCIe slot and connect the antenna leads. The adapter itself requires no drivers. Install the appropriate WiFi and Bluetooth drivers for the wireless card being used. Bluetooth functionality requires USB support from the host Mini PCIe slot.
Technical Details
Supports M.2 2230 Key E and Key A+E wireless cards. Approximate dimensions are 51mm x 30mm x 5mm. Approximate weight is 4g. Features onboard WiFi and Bluetooth activity LEDs. No external power connection required. Compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS environments because the adapter operates as a transparent hardware interface.
