I own a laptop with an M.2 card with Wifi 4. Now I would like to upgrade to Wifi 6 or 7, but as you can see, I only have one antenna cable. Are there any suitable M.2 cards with Wifi 6 or 7 for this setup? So far, I have only found M.2 cards with two connectors for two antennas.

 

Best regards,

According to the HP 14 notebook manual the following options are available

Wireless networking Integrated wireless option with dual antennas (M.2/PCIe)
● Realtek RTL8822CE 802.11ac 2 × 2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth® 5.0 (MU-MIMO supported)
Integrated wireless option with single antenna (M.2/MIPI/BRI)
● Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11ac 1 × 1 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.2 (MU-MIMO supported)
● Realtek RTL8723DE 802.11bgn 1 × 1 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.2

 

You just need to get that second antenna to go with the RTL8822CE card

 

I d not know which type of antenna to use.

Different types of Mini PCIe are shown here. Check the socket on your card to see if it matches and look on ebay for the correct antenna.

Different sizes of connectors
