mini pcie wifi

[davidc0]

i have a GA-h270n-wifi, my pcie is in use by my gfx card, im looking for a wifi card that will work with mac, any suggestions? is there anyway another card will fit where the current wifi card is that is compatible with mac?

IIRC, your H270N has it's wifi/BT card in a M.2 interface. So, you'll need the iMac BCM94360CD wifi/BT card plus an appropriate (matching) M.2 adapter. These can be found on eBay.

I got this card from Amazon:

Works perfectly. Just need to get an adapter for it as Stork said.

I see only two antenna attachments, so this might be an older version of the card I referenced.

Aha! That Amazon page also had a link to the M.2 adapter > https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KHRJVXW/?tag=tonymacx86com-20
I wasn't able to find one before when I looked on Amazon. You can buy them together on EddyMac's Amazon link.

BTW, what is your WiFi router rated at? AC1300? AC1750? AC1900?

this box is going to end up going to a friends so i have no clue what his router is. :/ im assuming whatever comes stock from his isp, but thanks ill def go eddymacs route as this is supposed to be budget based. thanks! now its just a matter of finding the adapter that is available, everywhere i look on amazon its unavailable will this one work?

with the card eddymac posted?

Looks to be the same card. YMMV.

However, IIRC, it's an older version than the one I used.
