Howdy folks,
I'm looking into repurposing a SFF system into a HTPC in a location where I don't wish to run an Ethernet cable. While the system's eBay-bought ASRock Z97E-ITX/ac motherboard did arrive with a WiFi + BT v4.0 Module, it did not come with any other wireless accessories. The PCIe x16 slot will be occupied by a graphics card.
There's are plenty of antenna options to consider, but my ASRock mobo doesn't have the riser/bracket for securing antennas through the appropriate holes in the I/O shield. I do see such a piece included on new of the same board. I'm waiting for a response from ASRock regarding a similar part, but in the meantime, do any of you know what term might refer to that piece and whether it's purchasable separately as a common riser/bracket accessory? I'm not finding anything that looks like what other images show it to appear as. Pictures to follow.
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time in advance, and take care.
(Edit: Apologies for the separate posts, but was getting a server error when trying to post the images together.)
