Hey all, I've been scratching my head with this gigabyte motherboard.
So it has the smaller MMCX coaxil port which just snaps in. I need bigger antennas so I've been trying to go from this port to > SP-SMA.
However, this port also has threads on the plugs, so is this an MCX port? (I looked everywhere and MCX doesn't have threads??).
So basically I want to go from this port > SP-SMA and make sure it's snug and is screwed in tightly because I want to screw these kinds of antennas on it via an adapter:

This Pic shows how it would wire up it should help the signal. What frequency are you using 2.4 or 5ghz
The motherboard doesn't come with antennas so unless the Wi-Fi card does you'll need to find some. Both antennas serve both Wi-Fi and bluetooth.
This one on amazon seems to have the correct MHF4 connector for the 8260NGW and would mount in the holes on the backplate.
So this would work with the 8260 then?
I can't figure out if this wifi card came with antennas, like this. Have you attached any antennas to the card?
ok so "NGFF" interface is for M2_WIFI? so I need to buy and attach any antenna that's for NGFF and not for MINI PCI-e, right?
Edit: I'm so fucking confused right now. On the wikipedia page of NGFF it says that NGFF and M.2 is the exact same thing. So I need to stuff for that interface. The antennas you linked tell me that they work for that specific interface. But on the M.2 Wifi card that I bought, here's the manual, it says that the connector is M.2: PCIe, while in the product description for the antennas it says not to use with MINI PCIe, what the fuck is MINI PCIe is it the same? cause it fucking looks exactly the same as my card when I looked at the screenshots, except it's supposed to be NGFF (M.2) according to the specs. What even is anything?
