Hi:

Here is the front and back of my Wifi/LAN card that expired.

Thanks for stopping by.

NETELY 802.11AX Intel WiFi 6E AX210NGW NGFF M2 Interface WiFi Adapter with Bluetooth 5.2, WiFi 6E 5400Mbps Speed, 2.4GHz 574Mbps, 5GHz 2400Mbps, 6GHz 2400Mbps WiFi Network Card (WiFi 6E AX210NGW) https://a.co/d/fy6WZcR

What is it going in (for antenna recommendations)?

Thanks for the quick response. It's going in a Hewlett Packard Slim PC.

Hardware will only die but will never expire.

Does it already have antenna wires? If so, how many?

I think I found the answer:

The card/chip you recommended doesn't come with anantenna. the antenna connector is not a standard SMA type. The antenna connector uses IPEX 4 connectors, also known as 4th generation connectors, which are different from SMA connectors. This WiFi card does not include antennas, and users need to purchase antennas with IPEX 4 connectors separately if using it with a desktop PC.

I can't salvage my old antenna.

Does your current system just have the internal wire, or does it go to a connector where you can attach an external antenna?

What is the specific model of your PC?

Here is one of each. I have used both in different systems with the same adapter linked earlier.

His model is HP Slim Desktop - S01-pF1036

[SOLVED] - Can you please recommend an inexpensive GPU for my HP Slim Desktop S01 pF-1036 that has HDMI 2.0 and HDR

Hi: I am trying to equip my HP Slim Desktop with HDR. My monitor has the necessary specs (HDR10), and I verified its capability by connecting a standalone, Panasonic 4k UHD player (with HDR) to it. It has the following expansion slots: 2 M.2; 1 PCIe x16; 1 PCIe x1 Interestingly enough, the...

The only spec I can find for its wifi is
https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06707009
Realtek Wi-Fi 5 (1x1) and Bluetooth® 4.2 combo
Could not find its back panel image

It does have 1 PCIe x16 and 1 PCIe x1 slots

You should be able to route/place the second ones I linked above inside the case.

He still needs to buy two antennas, wires and a slot bracket for the M.2 WiFi module.

He already bought one Intel PCIe wifi adapter in another thread. Why not just buy another one?

Question - Does anyone have a usb Wi-Fi adapter that doesn't overheat?

I got this $12 USD one yesterday. It worked great for awhile, but it conked out. I tried it again today (after it cooled down overnight). It worked well for a very short time, and probably overheated, So, I'm returning it. Maybe the solution is a PCIe version with heat sink technology?

Understood. The actual adapter recommended includes a bracket for mounting it. The antenna leads recommended attach to the adapter. Two different items to purchase.

I appreciate your time and efforts. But, I think that this may be exactly what I need (if it is compatible):

Sure, but that is less capable than what was linked earlier. How much is this?

Price is good. Up to you. It should do the trick of basic wireless comms.

Why do you want adapter that has only one antenna instead of two?

Don't you worry the performance?

PCIe x1 slot has been occupied?

It is strange. He should not need a antenna if he is just replacing a similar card. He could easily get much better m.2 card and then add a second antenna. Since the motherboard has a m.2 wifi slot it will be simpler to use that than messing with a pcie slot in a tiny case.

 

[lantis3]

Doesn't one antenna means 1x1? Most wifi router should be at least be 2x2.

Well, after searching the part number HP915620-001 on post #12, same as post #1
, he is just replacing a supposed now dead RTL8821CE card, so he must be satisfied with the performance before it's dead. But the picture looks like it's used. Don't know long it will last?
