PCIe to M.2 E Key HAT, Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5, Support Various NGFF (M.2 E Key) Wireless NIC, Supports USB Bluetooth Connection and HAT+ Standard, Raspberry Pi 5 PCIe HAT

I used it on pi 5 and intel be200 to build the ultimate wifi repeater using OpenWRT

Worked well! It would be a nice option without the external antenna connections but it worked for my situation.

Product looks amazing, quality looks great, however the clip for the attachment/connector where the pcie cable meets the hat... I ran into some problems. I kept trying to figure out how to get it to release so I could connect the cable, as they came disconnected, but the little black part went flying into oblivion. Obviously I tried to open it for the cable improperly... but now the board is rendered useless because of that little missing clip. Tried to find stl files to 3d a new clip but no dice. Is there a way to just get that little plastic clip from you guys at Waveshare, or like a little big of a few of em? Can I just get one sent out with that dang cable in there already (lol)?? And maybe a hint about how to get it open. Doesn't seem the same way as the connector on the rpi5 itself, obviously.

First, this item works. Exactly as described. I can mount an m2 card for WiFi and have two WiFi connections to my pi. Why I would want to do that is a good question. For a guy like me, this makes a great WiFi router and I can have separate networks going. Or, I could setup a honey trap for my cheapskate neighbor with a SSID that says, “FreeWifiForEveryoneButHenry” and watch as he connects his password less windows laptop to my network and I get to grab all the pics he’s taken of his wife, UGH! My Eyes! But seriously, easy to install, fits well, and is inexpensive.

I have many Pi hats for my several Raspberry Pi 5 units, but I didn't have one for WiFi. I immediately decided to test it with the Intel AX200 wireless card, and it worked without any issues. The board is very well made, with thoughtful design details - from the installation process to the antenna connectors. I have no complaints whatsoever. Good job.

Waveshare never disappoints.

Die Installation des Waveshare PCIe to M.2 E Key HAT war dank der klaren Anleitung und des mitgelieferten 16-poligen Kabels sehr einfach und schnell erledigt. Besonders hilfreich fand ich die umfangreichen Wiki-Ressourcen von Waveshare, die alle notwendigen Informationen, Treiber und Anleitungen bereitstellen. Die Funktionalität mit dem AX200 Modul, das ich für WLAN und Bluetooth verwende, ist einwandfrei und die Verbindung ist stabil. Die Wiki-Ressourcen haben mir auch bei der Konfiguration des Bluetooth-Moduls über USB sehr geholfen. Fazit: Ein benutzerfreundliches HAT mit guter Dokumentation und einfacher Installation, das auch für Anfänger geeignet ist.

Bonjour, Ce hat est d'une excelente conception, et grande qualité de fabrication - il permet d’accueillir une carte WIfi / BT (non fournie) Il permettra de fixer des antennes (non fournies : ça c'est dommage)

Ce module adaptateur pour carte WiFi est bien conçu et permet d’upgrader la connexion sans fil d’un Pi 5 avec un grand nombre de cartes modernes prises en charge. Testé avec une AX200, ça fonctionne sans souci et je n’ai pas rencontré de problème depuis son installation. L’intégration au Pi est facile pour ceux qui bricolent ce genre de choses et les infos fournies sur la fiche permettent de bien comprendre comment monter le module sans se tromper. Heureusement, car il n'y a pas de notice dans la boite reçue ! Tout ce qu’il faut pour le mettre en place est en revanche bien fourni (visserie, câbles, …). Seul petit regret, les antennes ne sont pas incluses, ce qui aurait pourtant été fort appréciable ! Pas de souci pour moi, j’en avais de côté, mais il faudra penser à en acheter si ce n’est pas le cas.
