You can use M.2 key adapters for that https://www.delock.com/produkt/63343/merkmale.html An additional slot is *not* an option as we got only a single PCIe lane. Hopefully there are also going to be single-band (6 GHz only) 4T4R or even 4T5R modules based on MT7916E available at some point... _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
