Adapter for B200

[Tekman]

Good day and thank you for reading my question. Is there a Intel approved PCIe adapter for the b200 daughter card?

I see a lot of Wi-Fi 7 cards and non-descript products but nothing with the Intel name on it. I've also searched for any kind of indication as to the b200 being a standard "E" key.

Thank you in advance

Hello Tekman,

Greetings from Intel!

Regarding this case, To proceed further could you please share the following details:

1. Could you please confirm the exact model or part number of the B200 daughter card you're referring to?

2. Are you looking to install a Wi-Fi card or another type of PCIe device into the B200 slot?

3. Can you share a photo or documentation of the slot on the B200 card you're referring to?

4. Are you looking specifically for an Intel-branded adapter, or would a third-party adapter using an Intel chipset be acceptable?

5. Is this for a specific system or motherboard? If so, could you share the model?

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Good afternoon sir. Thank you for your patience. I will attempt to answer as many of your questions as I can although this format seems kind of limited.

My objective is to upgrade the Bluetooth in my new motherboard on my desktop PC. My processor is the 14th gen I-9 900k
I have 64 gig of RAM and 2 TB of storage. The new motherboard is in Asus z790 gaming Wi-Fi 7. The previous motherboard was not made for the 14th gen and eight bios updates later I thought I might as well get it right. The new motherboard has Bluetooth 5.4 but it's magnetic brand. My previous motherboard has Bluetooth 5.2 that was Intel. I can really hear the difference. Plus Intel updates the driver frequently where is magnetic hasn't even bothered in over a year to update their driver.

So in searching for a device that would utilize my PCI bus I found that there really was not anything that said Intel on it or used Intel or anything. So I went to Amazon and found a X1 pcie card with a m.2-e slot. It also supports Wi-Fi 7 which I won't be using. My PC has ethernet which is so much better than token ring. The description said it could work with the be200 Intel daughter board.
I was really very surprised that I could not find a drop in solution for PC. Obviously an m.2 - eKEY can go into a laptop but it's very rare for PC motherboards to have this. I'd also seen the same daughter board with an a-e-key again very rare for PC motherboard.

So in looking through the literature the one thing I cannot find is the maximum impedance for the antenna
I also was unable to determine if the pcie 4th gen X1 slot would be able to handle the be200 data stream.

I will keep you apprised of my progress I should be getting both pieces of hardware from Amazon next week. Again thank you for your patience and I look forward to reporting my findings.

Hello Tekman,

Thank you for your response, we really appreciate it.

As from what you have described, your concerns are whether the PCIe card with an M.2-E slot will work with the BE200 daughter board, the maximum impedance for the antenna and if the PCIe 4th gen X1 slot can handle the B200 data stream.

Due to this, this thread is beyond our support scope. The correct channel will be our Wireless Community forum [https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/bd-p/wireless]. Kindly raise your concerns and query on the Wireless Community Forum.

Should you need additional assistance or have new questions in the future, please feel free to submit a new inquiry, as this thread will no longer be monitored.

Thank you & Best Regards,

Again thank you for your help. Please excuse me as apparently the last message I put in was deleted. I will try this again

Intel made a card for their Wi-fi 6 called Killer. It is available but I do not know if it will work with the BE 200. Here is a picture of it:

This is the card I bought off of Amazon as it has apparently the same set as the Intel card. It does have a port that connects to your USB system on the motherboard. And it obviously goes in the next one slot.

This is what I plan to put in it. I am confident this should work I don't see a problem if you do please let me know. Of course I have a test computer I will put it in first. My home rig is a 14GI9 My test computer is a 10th Gen I 9.

Again thank you for your patience and help.
