I forgot about Airetos completely, will check with them whats the lead time
Even that FN-Link is now in most of the places (including Alibaba) out of stock (maybe single pieces here and there, some are still available on Taobao).
Yes, QCA639x is a budget option, but that FN-Link is a really bad one with 11 dBm only.
I have seen others that claim 16 dBm or more.
It's not the M.2 that's the issue on QCN907x but rather the fact that they require 5V which is not present on M.2 or Mini PCI-E at all, so you cant just plug it in.
Yes but not the "R" version (regular M.2 2230 size). In my case anything bigger/wider just won't fit
Of course you can! All I have seen so far (most of them are based on QCA reference design), provide additional input for external 5 V, see in the right top corner:
Its just QCA6390, so it should work with ath11k and 5.10.
I was looking into them, but somebody said that they just now shipped their preorder from June.
Yes, it is mt7915a dualband selectable MU-MIMO card which can work at 4x4 2.4G (1200Mbps) or 4x4 5G(2400Mbps). If you use R64 with two 7915 cards, it can become ax3600 router (1200+2400).
For dualband concurrent mode, mt7915d can be configured as 2x2 5G(1200) + 2x2 2.4G(600). It means we can have ax1800 concurrent router by only use 1 pcie slot.
AsiaRF has plan to have such card in the future. (chip is mt7915d with different pcb board)
