Hi!
Is there a list of all currently supported Wi-Fi cards on x86_64 builds? I'm interested in potentially throwing a mini PCIe card in my router at some point in the future and I'm interested to know which ones would be supported (maybe something Wi-Fi 6? Probably not ). _________________ HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini PC [i3-6100T] (WAN, DHCP, QoS)

Are you sure that the motherboard has MiniPCIe?
It looks more like M.2 (NGFF) in the pictures.
That limits the possibilities extremely.
I looked up the specs on the PC I use and yeah, it does seem like it is using M.2 rather than Mini PCIe. I just assumed it was PCIe since it was a bit of an older system, lol.
The card that is in there right now is some Intel Wireless-N card that can work for providing Wi-Fi, but I have it turned off. _________________ HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini PC [i3-6100T] (WAN, DHCP, QoS)

maybe it could work with an adapter
but without guarantee, there are not many suitable adapters and I myself have not tried something like that yet
This could also be quite tight with the SIM card holder, many Compex cards have the chipset and an electromagnectic interference shield on the back.
I'll consider one of these if it comes down to it; primarily I was just wondering what kinds of chipsets are currently supported so I know what to start looking for. Thanks! _________________ HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini PC [i3-6100T] (WAN, DHCP, QoS)

I'm currently using a WLE900VX. I only use 2.4ghz and it works great. My S21 gets 80mbps when I'm about 50ft from the router. I run it at 25dbm with no issues. I have it connected through a pcie adapter.
