M.2 wireless cards?

[themaskofwraith1]

Bummer, the packet says the right stuff but the card is wrong?

yes when i asked for returns, they said they will take it back. but they cant send BCM4352 as they dont have it any more.

Here is another BCM43162 card that could work $18. But only 433 Mbps

 

No one has tried this though. So it will required some tweaking of the Ids

There is a guy on another website who tried, but the card was failing. I don't think this card is an option.

Just want to let you all know, partstore seems to have the lenovo 20-200480 cards back in stock. I ordered one a few days ago and it arrived today.

Hi,

 

cross-post from tonymac, but here is my ill-advised purchase of Lenovo 20-200480 if anyone is interested..

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Broadcom-B.../231598292035?

 

Not suitable for DELL systems though due to the pin notches

 

Hopefully the price is ok, i saw another BCM94352Z on there earlier for about £50!!

Hi Guys!

 

I just bought a GA-Z170N-Gaming 5 Mini ITX LGA1151 MOBO for my upcoming Skylake build and I'm wondering if anyone had any insight as to what/which M.2 Wireless card I'd need for OOB compatibility/handoff capable wireless card.

 

From this post, it looks like the Broadcom BCM94356Z and/or the Broadcom BCM94356ZAE (key A+E). Things I'm not really sure about are: (1) what the difference between key A+E and the normal one is (I think the notches on the actual card are different? not sure..) (2) which one I should go with and  (3) where I should get that from (right now I'm thinking eBay).

 

If anyone has any insight or knows where I could get some help to answer these questions or even if there is a different compatible M.2 wireless card that I totally missed, that would be great!

 

Thanks a ton in advance!

I would go with Dell DW1560

Works perfectly in El Capitan

 

Here is a listing

Thanks! So Gigabyte just updated their site actually and I found out that the wireless socket that is on it is a M.2 socket 1 (A & E keyed). The card looks like it is one.. but I'm not sure.

 

Also, what do you think of the Broadcom BCM94356Z  since that one is A & E keyed and it is bluetooth 4.1 instead of 4.0?

 

Finally, does anyone know if there are any compatible bluetooth 4.2 Broadcom wifi cards?  I'm guessing bluetooth 4.2 is too new for us to know?

 

Thanks again!

 

EDIT: So I was just reading that Bluetooth 4.1 is more of a software update as opposed to a hardware one? Does that mean you can actually upgrade your bluetooth versions? I've never seen that/heard that before... does anyone know if that is true and/or how to do it?

I ended up replacing my BCM4356 with BCM94352 (DW 1560) since the 4356 was not functional in OSX.
