[SOLVED] ECWA1 Network Adapter - Missing Module

[Rayven2]

Hi guys, so I bought a Silverstone ECWA1: https://www.google.com/search?q=pccasegear+ecwa1&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-ab

And this thing is missing a module, they call it ECWA2... Yet its not sold anywhere in Australia.

I'm shocked that I ended up with a partial NIC. Does anyone know what I could use in its place?

Would be much appreciated... Thanks guys.

Just get normal pcie wifi adapter.

To get your card, what basically is mini-pcie to pcie adapter, you'd need mini-pcie wifi card.

Late answer, my PC actually died on me for a unrelated scenario.

Can I use any module basically in there from a old laptop? Or can you recommend one to purchase, as there isn't one in stock anywhere from this exact brand

As for the normal pcie wifi adapter, I got that one, since its only 2.4ghz, my speeds are slow and it drops out as well as i'm further away from the router/modem

Should be possible, yes.
