Hello Janpieter Sollie,
could you please share which Wi-Fi cards you have tested, and let us know which ones worked and which didn’t?
Thank YOU!
I tried a lot, actually, but I’ll tell how I came to the conclusion it was a power supply issue:
- I populated my R4 with a mini-pcie mt7916 and mini-pcie mt7915 card, to have “one band on 6ghz and one on 5ghz”
- I added a m.2 mt7916 card on the SSD slot “to get the same dual-band effect on 5ghz because of 80+80 doesn’t work properly”
- I tried to add a number of cards into the key B slot (to split the non-wpa3 devices into a legacy ssid):
- ath10k 9884 (no luck)
- ath11k QCNA755 (nothing either)
- ath10k 9882 (sometimes it worked, sometimes it crashed due to an IRQ interrupt and unplugging+ rebooting was the only way to get it working, though not always)
- intel 8265 (no luck)
Somewhere, I suspected it was a power issue, but never sure…
I then saw a advertisement of mediatek launching a m.2 key B adapter. I asked the people of Mediatek whether they thought the R4 could handle a 4th card on the 3.3V line, but the answer was “no, wait for our 12V adapter and put your mini-pcie cards on the 12V line” So it’s not a big thing, it’s simply a pity I didn’t see earlier
