WiFi upgrade for m6800

Hi all.

 

I have a dell m6800. What would be the best choice to upgrade the WiFi board?

Besides the intel 7260, what other choices do I have? The intel ax210 looks great but is it compatible?

Tia

    The Intel 7260 is a mini PCIe card which is the correct interface on the M6800. The Intel AX210 is M.2 interface and not compatible. However, you knew there was a caveat here, there are AX210 modules that have been soldered onto 3rd party mini PCIe cards. A Google search turns up cards such as this one at candado.

    Also find This  . Adapter mini PCIe to msata that would go on the wwlan slot of the m6800. Someone reported a ax200 working like this.
