I am looking to use the wifi adaptor 3168ngw in my desktop motherboard (ASrock B550 Steel Legend) with m.2 key- e. I did suceed in receiving the wifi and bluetooth signals (without the antennas, placing the devices very close to the PC). Now to increase the range I need the antennas and I am not able to filter down to the matching connectors (tried different antennas available online, does not fit). Kindly advice me the type of conncetor I should search for before buying the antennas.

All of Intel's NGW (NGFF) WiFi adapters use the IPEX 4 MHF4 antenna connectors. Here's an example of an antenna kit delivering all necessary components for a PC-mounted solution: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLRT1RVK.

Hope this helps,
