I’m finally getting around to installing my RCore upgrade in my iMX8MXP Pocket. I bought the Intel AX210 WiFi adapter ( from the MNT store) at Lucie’s suggestion. But it seems that the connector for the antennas on this adapter are MHF4 connectors, and the included antenna (as well as the WiFi connection on the iMX8MXP board) has U.FL connectors.
Am I reading this right? Is the fix as simple as ordering a couple internal antennas with MHF4 connectors?
Thanks!
Well, Intel Tech Support took over a half hour, but eventually confirmed that this card has MHF-4 connectors. So I ordered two Molex 204281-1200 antennas from mouser. They should be here some time next week. Leaving this here in case someone else encounters the same problem.
Thank you for sharing your challenges. I will watch out for this when I finally upgrade.
Just a note to say I had the same issue, but hadn’t gotten around to reporting (or fixing it). I’ve got the big antennas with the PCI card blank hanging out of the bottom of my case.
If you’re in the US, Mouser had over 2400 antennas in stock, so it’s a good time to order parts.
Just an update, with the antennas from Mouser, the pocket is up and running and reports a better signal strength than before the upgrade.
