<p>Hi Kevin, I am looking specifically to use something that will
take a Mini-PCIe slot-E WLAN card into something like an Odroid C4
(I have the software sorted using a raspberry pi and usb WLAN
adapters). Some of the Mini-PCIe slot-E WLAN cards I have do
beamforming with multiple antennas - few usb wifi adapters do two
antennas, and none more that I can find (to use with beamforming)
so I would prefer to use them if I can.</p>
<p>The Moxa doesnt look suitable as there is a note its PCIe socket
is for a wwan module - they are incompatible with wlan as far as I
can find out.</p>
<p>My fallback will be an Omnia Turris which at $350 (delivered,
might be $us too) is expensive and lacks ram and storage compared
to other options.</p>

<div>I note that in the industrial world there are loads of
RS-232 or RS-485 to Ethernet serial servers (e.g. from Moxa or
Lantronix) but practically no otherwise identical device for
USB, unless you step up to e.g. a Moxa UC-8100 "pocket
computer", where you can use Linux OS utilities to do the job
on a USB port.</div>

<div>I have these devices if you would like to look. Either
hands on or I have them exposed via port forwarding.</div>

<br>
I have a current project where I want to use mini PCIe
E-slot<br>
(atheros) wifi cards in a custom WiFi access point. Ideally
some kind<br>
of converter/adapter to usb3. Googling doesn't show anything
that works<br>
- there are loads of simple PCIe WWAN but they are not
compatible for<br>
WLAN - there are apparently usb and/or data protocols involved
with WLAN<br>
cards not using the usb ones.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have a suggestion of something that would work?<br>
<br>
