  • TypeM.2 Key E to PCIe

Type M.2 Key E to PCIe

  • Converts an M.2 E-key module to a PCIe x1 slot for desktop Wi-Fi upgrades
  • Triple-band 6 dBi RP-SMA antenna kit covers 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz frequencies
  • Supports Intel AX210, AX200, 9260, 8265, 8260, 7265 and 7260 NGFF modules
  • Includes both 12 cm standard and 8 cm low-profile brackets for any chassis
  • USB cable routes Bluetooth 4.0 through a motherboard header for full wireless functionality

PCIe x1 M.2 E-Key adapter

This adapter installs in a PCI Express x1 slot and accepts NGFF M.2 2230 Key E or A+E wireless modules. It supports WiFi 4 and Bluetooth 4.0 through 5.4, covering common Intel and third-party cards such as the 7260, 7265, 8260, 8265 and 9260 series. A USB cable connects to a motherboard header to enable Bluetooth functionality. Both regular and low-profile brackets are included.

Triple-band 6 dBi antenna kit

Two 15 cm U.FL to RP-SMA pigtail cables connect the installed module to the supplied 6 dBi antennas covering 2.4 GHz and 5–6 GHz bands. The external antennas provide gain for desktop chassis where internal placement would be shielded. Signal travels over the PCIe x1 lane for Wi-Fi and the USB link for Bluetooth. No CNVio or CNVio2 modules such as the 201, 211, 9461, 9462 or 9560 are supported.

Upgrade from soldered or Mini PCIe wireless

Builders moving from soldered laptop Wi-Fi or Mini PCIe cards gain a removable M.2 slot with standard antenna connectors. The jump is worthwhile when the existing platform has a free PCIe x1 slot and a USB header but no M.2 E-Key socket. Systems lacking a spare PCIe x1 lane or an available USB header cannot use this adapter.

Questions about this item

Will the WA01 adapter fit in the same PCIe x1 slot I use for my older 7260NGW module?

Yes, the WA01 uses a PCIe x1 interface and accepts M.2 2230 Key E or A+E modules such as the 7260NGW, so it installs in the same slot type.

How can I confirm Bluetooth is active after installing the WA01 with an AX210NGW module?

Connect the supplied USB Bluetooth cable to a motherboard USB header, then check Device Manager for a Bluetooth radio entry and pair a device to verify the link.

Does the WA01 package include a low-profile bracket for a slim case, or must I buy one separately?

A 12 cm regular bracket is pre-installed and an 8 cm low-profile bracket is included in the box, so no extra bracket purchase is needed.
