New Gigabyte Z370N - no more WiFi support?

[aikidoka25]

I have the same interest on this motherbaord, from Tom's Hardware we can see the 2 screws.
Now let's see who is the brave soul that will get the board and try.

A member here has a build using the board and he managed to replace the card.

I have this board and I can confirm that the WiFi card is removable and can be replaced by another NGFF WiFi card. I'm getting the BCM94352Z tomorrow and will finish setting up.

Hi there! So have you been successfull in replacing the Wi-Fi card? Is everything OK?

Did you get this working?

Any updates on this at all? Was considering giving it a try, and using these:

I have the z370n wifi. The wireless card is a module. I swapped mine out for a broadcom chip (BCM94352Z) and it is working. Bluetooth had hiccups but I think it is ok now (a matter of finding the right kernel extensions).

I went for an Intel i3-8100 CPU. Video acceleration is working.

Overall happy. My issue now is USB-C and getting BIOS to see the new Crucial MX300 525gb 2280SS NVMe M.2 memory I just attached.

These motherboards with WiFi seem all the same. 2 screws and off with the m2 card. Waiting for some Dell cards from China Takes ages and will post back. I am replacing bt/WIFI on h270n-wifi and asrock intility z370.

###UPDATE###
I got these cards and ok, they were cheap. But what a pain to get them to work. Wifi is working now on full speed (AC) after good help from @YoshiMac (man that guy is nice!) discussed here but still struggling with bluetooth.
Next time I will just try to cram in a original Apple card and M.2 adapter. But of course to learn something new is not a bad thing

Says it'll stick out 13mm from the housing, seems the housing on his board is in 2 parts so maybe with 1 of the parts off it'll allow it to stick out of the top?
Is using the adaptor really the only way to get the USB BT working? Seems strange to me.

I just got these from Aliexpress and they are 30mm totalt height.
I am installing these in a Gigabyte H270n-wifi where the height seems to not matter (no shield around the card) and a Asus Rog Maximus Fat1lity Z370 with the shield. I will report back over the weekend how they fit on both. I also got the NGFF adapter with a Macbook Air (I think) wifi/bt card installed. It is much taller. 45mm. That it s a big difference.
You see on the image that the card(Dell DW1820A) is exact size as the original Intel. I hope the broadcom card will do the job.
