Wireless for desktop Mini PCs

[WhirlpoolJohn]

I have been tasked with installing Intel Network PCIE Wifi Cards into  HP model ProDesk 600 G4 Minis. I have attempted to find install information for this procedure but I have come up short. I am of the belief that it is not possible to install these model wifi cards into this model desktop. My supervisor insists they do work and insists I try again. Any information regarding this would be appreciated.

Hi:

You are correct.

It is not possible.

There are no internal PCIe expansion slots to install anything.

See the quickspecs page below, page 21 for the ports the DM has...there are only M.2 slots for a M.2 form factor wifi card and a M.2 SSD.

You would need the antenna kit to install internal wifi on those, and I have no idea where you can get the kit from.

Plus you would need the supported M.2 wifi adapters.

It is doable, but no one on this forum that I know of knows where to buy the antenna kit

Finding a M.2 wifi card to install is the easy part.  The supported wifi cards are listed on page 19.

Your supervisor should have ordered the PC's with the wifi preinstalled, which was an option.
