    160 MHz mini PCIe 802.11ac cards

    I might get a 9260 card just for shirts and giggles, although I already have a gigabit wireless Point-to-Point link between my laptop and my multipurpose mini-server using WiGig. Those routers are so unnecessary expensive ... It bugs me so much that manufactures like Intel don't also develop...

    160 MHz mini PCIe 802.11ac cards

    Thx for the suggestion. I have 100 Mbps internet, but I don't want the wireless speed for internet, only local, laptop - server/router.

    160 MHz mini PCIe 802.11ac cards

    Again, one adapter goes in the laptop, for which I have already mod the BIOS, and one in a miniITX PC, which I already use a server/router/AP.

    160 MHz mini PCIe 802.11ac cards

    Neither the client adapter or the router I have support 11ac VHT160 mode. This is why I was looking for a pair of adapters that support 160 MHz, one for the client (laptop), one for the home server.

    Intel 9260 uses M.2-E or M.2-A. As long as your motherboard has either of these connectors, you're good.

    What chipset? You mean the motherboard bios? If you don't have bios whitelist non-sense, you're good. If you do, you'll have to mod your bios, like I did. Usually, the ones that whitelist wifi cards are Lenovo, Dell and HP.

    160 MHz mini PCIe 802.11ac cards

    I see they updated the page for WLE1216V5-23 at http://shop.compex.com.sg/wireless-modules/802-11ac/linux-4x4-wifi-module-pcie-adapter-bundle.html and included a link to the ATH10K driver for Linux kernel 3.3/3.4 (OpenWRT), so still no client support :(. On a side note, I dipped my toes in 60...

    160 MHz mini PCIe 802.11ac cards

    Welcome from the future :p Apparently 160 MHz adapters got on the market sooner than we thought. http://www.compex.com.sg/product/wle1216v5-23/ http://shop.compex.com.sg/wle1216v5-23-pre-order.html ONLY 130$ a piece, and I need 2 of them, + antennas + 100$ shipping .. oh dear. Will see how crazy...

    160 MHz mini PCIe 802.11ac cards

    Small update: I have contacted Acelink about this board and asked them if they have any distributors that ship in Europe, but they refused to share any information :(. "Thanks for your mail. So you are end-user not brand company ? If yes due to Acelink is an OEM/ODM company, so we can’t sell to...

    160 MHz mini PCIe 802.11ac cards

    My understanding from what I can read on the web is that "wave 2 standard" supports 160 MHz wide channels (contiguous or non-contiguous), so all of those devices listed in that press release should support VHT160. All I have to do is find 2 mini PCIe cards under this "standard".

    160 MHz mini PCIe 802.11ac cards

    There are 160 MHz routers (ASUS RT-AC5300, Netgear 8500, ...) Check this link from Qualcomm. What do you mean it's easy enough? I would have to take the laptop apart, and squeeze another antenna in there, and there is not much room left in there. Plus, taking the screen apart it's a mess and I...

    160 MHz mini PCIe 802.11ac cards

    I currently have a 80 MHz SISO 802.11ac setup (laptop - AP - NAS), so 433 Mbit/s max (in reality ~ 200 Mbit/s), and I want to double it by upgrading both the router and the laptop with mini PCIe Wi-Fi 802.11ac cards that support 160 MHz wide channels. I don't care about MIMO and MU-MIMO, since...
