Hey everyone, it looks like your setup is getting tighter—only one PCIe 2.0 x16 slot left. I’m curious if an Express WiFi card can fit there. Since you’ve used powerline before, maybe there’s another way to boost connectivity without buying more hardware. What do you think?

They work backward compatibility too. There could be minor speed issues with a 1x card, but it shouldn't be a major problem.
