Product: Z2 mini G3
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My Z2 mini workstation arrived with no wifi card.  There is an m.2 slot for a mini size card (300 mm).  I have ordered an 

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 but there is no antenna in the Z2 system box,   so I need an install procedure or guide with sugested cable ways so that I can install the antenna cable before I install the card

I have the same problem, I bought both things but the chassis of the z2 is surrounded by metal and has poor signal if the antenna left inside the box, I have the idea to leave the end of the antenna under the motherboard, in the others places I tried and I still do not get good signal.


I also tried to leave the end of the antenna on the sides but not very good signal

Thanks Joel,  Very useful.  I also found out today that the recommended card from HP is the  Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265, 2230, 2x2 AC + BT, Vpro which is a newer card with a more complete BT spec.  BTW I could not get my Z2 to boot past the blue windows logo with the 7265 card installed.  I will post again after I get the new card.  I still expect to have a battle fitting the antenna onto the tiny connectors.  The first card went back to Amazon and they have refunded me.

Dear Jaymex,

 

Could you tell me if this works with the 8265?

 

Specs of HP says Wireless card is optional but requires factory configuration.

 

I would love to hear if this works.

Sorry no luck - had a friend look at the card and he has told me that the antenna sold with the card is not the right one.  The antenna conections are too big by I think 1mm.  We are trying to find smaller ones.  I am using the LAN connection which is fine for me.  I wanted the wifi for backup and for the bluetooth - I am using a dongle for that.  I will post when and if I get an answer to the problem.
