- Convert an available M.2 M-Key 2260 or 2280 motherboard slot into an M.2 NGFF 2230 wireless card socket for desktops, mini PCs, SFF builds, embedded systems, repair benches, and homelab systems
- Fits M.2 NGFF 2230 wireless cards with Key E or Key A+E edge connectors, helping simplify compatibility for common PCIe-based WiFi card upgrades and internal wireless installations
- Supports PCIe x1 signaling for WiFi operation, while the included USB cable connects the adapter to an open motherboard USB header for Bluetooth function from the installed wireless card
- Compatible with many PCIe-based 2230 wireless cards including Intel AX200, AX210, BE200, BE202, 8260, 8265, and 9260, plus similar supported Key E or Key A+E wireless modules
- Includes adapter, USB cable, and screws for installation; wireless card and antennas are not included. Installs using the adapter first with the wireless card, then mounts into the motherboard M-Key slot
M.2 M-Key to Key E / A+E WiFi Adapter: Use an available M.2 M-Key motherboard slot to install a standard M.2 NGFF 2230 wireless card. This adapter is designed for desktops, mini PCs, small form factor systems, embedded builds, diagnostics, repair benches, and homelab setups where a dedicated wireless card slot is not available
2230 Wireless Card Support: This adapter is intended for M.2 NGFF 2230 wireless cards with Key E or Key A+E edge connectors. It is designed for PCIe-based wireless modules commonly used for internal WiFi and Bluetooth upgrades
Motherboard Fitment: The adapter installs into an M.2 Key M motherboard slot and supports mounting positions for 2260 and 2280 host layouts. This allows the adapter to fit common motherboard M-Key mounting points while holding a 2230 wireless card on the adapter
Signal Path: WiFi uses PCIe signaling through the M-Key slot. Bluetooth function from the installed wireless card requires the included USB cable to be connected to an open motherboard USB header. Without the USB cable connected, WiFi may work while Bluetooth does not
Installation Overview: First insert the 2230 wireless card into the adapter. Next insert the adapter into the motherboard M-Key slot. Then secure the adapter to the motherboard using the provided screws. Finally connect the included cable from the adapter to an open motherboard USB header. Install the required drivers for your specific wireless card after hardware installation
Compatibility: Compatible with many PCIe-based 2230 wireless cards including Intel AX200, AX210, BE200, BE202, 8260, 8265, and 9260, along with similar supported Key E or Key A+E modules. Wireless card, antennas, and drivers are required for operation and are determined by the installed module and host system
Package Includes: 1 adapter card, 1 USB cable, and mounting screws
WIRELESS CARD AND ANTENNAS ARE NOT INCLUDED
