M.2 WiFi and Bluetooth card device
You're looking for a mid-range M.2 card that supports both WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0, around 300+ Mbps speeds, without needing a PCI-E or USB interface. The B250M-PRO-VD from MSI seems like a solid option, but there are many M.2 variants available. Make sure to check the specifications for the exact model you're interested in and confirm compatibility with your motherboard slot. If you need help narrowing it down, let me know!
In fact, the link points to a product page on Newegg featuring a specific item.
Well, I guess I'll have to accept the USB connection unless I manage to get a PCI-e riser. That way, I could free up the slot that the graphics card would normally occupy. I'm not sure if a PCI-e card can stay in place just with the case slot and a riser that doesn't provide much support. Any advice? Thanks!
For a PCIe WiFi card designed for use in an empty slot without a motherboard, it should work fine. These units are compact when not installed.
