Attention - Swapping Wifi card to updated 9260 or 9560 is not working. Motherboard says it supports CNVi architecture for 9560. Simply put it is not recognizing either card. Current Intel Card is a Intel 3168 in Motherboard. Windows 10 Pro lists no Wifi adapter in device manager. I do realize 3168 is a 1x1 versus 9260 or 9560 2x2 wave. Have any of the Minix techs tried to update to J504-c to an Intel 9260 or 9560 wireless card? If so, what is the quick guide please.

Thanks again!
 
I would like to get some response from Minix on this issue as well. I was surprised to see 9260 not being recognized; only Bluetooth part (USB) shows up, but not he Wifi adapter (PCIe). I am considering on trying 8265 (867Mbps) as an alternative; its pinouts seem to be very close to 3168. Thanks.
 
Well, I went ahead and picked up an Intel 8265 card (got mine on Amazon), and IT WORKS! I am getting a much better signal from my UniFi access point, connecting between 650-860 Mbps. I am going to be using this computer as my telescope PC, and it will allow me to remotely control things wirelessly. I hope Minix will support 9260/9560 series in the future, allowing even more robust wi-fi connections.
