Hi! These WiFi/BT miniPCIe cards rely on the USB protocol for Bluetooth. I'm searching for a BT 4+ adapter that offers strong coverage without breaking the bank. After testing, I've found that a miniPCIe card with an antenna gives the best performance. However, my current device lacks PCIe support, so I'd love to find a functional USB-based option. Could someone suggest connecting a USB cable to the card's data and power pins (with a small buck converter for 3.3V)? I've seen adapters for miniPCIe 3G modems, but I'm not sure if they work for Bluetooth. It might be a tricky idea, but I appreciate any help!

The adapters could function. It relies on whether the card is compatible with BT.
