Some words about the performance. The NUCs M.2 slot is based on PCI Express (PCIe) Revision Gen2 and has 2 lanes (X2). Each lane supports a data transfer speed of 5.0 GT/s (Gigatransfers per second). To get the actual usable bandwidth, you have to take into account that PCIe Gen 2 uses a 8b10b encoding which means that it requires 10bits, to transfer 1 byte (8 bits). Usage restrictions: PCIe 4.0 has high requirements on the equipment. As long as the extension cable is connected, the signal will be attenuated. This product does not guarantee the full speed of PCI-E 4.0. The equipment is aging. If the signal is poor or the environment is not good, please slow down to PCIe 3.0 or lower. There are two types of Wi-Fi range extenders: desktop and plug-in. Most desktop extenders look just like a wireless router and are typically equipped with external adjustable antennas, multiple LAN ports for connecting to devices like TVs and gaming consoles, and USB ports for attaching to peripherals such as storage drives and printers.vmnic3 0000:05:00.0 igb Up Down 0 Half 00:1b:21:93:b3:b2 1500 Intel Corporation 82576 Gigabit Network Connection I have then attempted to use a combo adapter which uses USB for bluetooth and PCIe for wi-fi. Interestingly, only the USB bluetooth adapter is detected and not the wifi adapter that is using the PCIe interface. In light of this, the (re-) boot time of about two seconds is stunning. Now, this isn’t all just CPU power, the Debian spin is very optimized for this board and has many unnecessary bits removed (which is a must when you’re running on an SD card). So, there’s more than just blazing storage going on here. It’s the combination of lightning-fast storage and, just as importantly, a well-optimized system.

This is where things started to get interesting. I was able to install the Gnome Desktop Environment (over the existing LXDE) and it ran alright. Then I needed to benchmark the drive. This is where I ran into some trouble again. You can’t just benchmark a live partition in gnome-disk-utility, for whatever reason it requires the ability to unmount it (my guess is that it wants to remount it with specific options). In any case, it makes sense that you can’t just unmount your root partition (but you should be able to pass the remount option, which makes this more suspicious). To sum things up - I know for fact that there is a functional PCIe lane in the M.2 port. The adapter fits. Power and USB work, PCIe doesn't. Intel refuse to provide support and claim that the product was not intended to be used in this configuration. Connect the Dupont 2PIN Cable to both PCBs. Make sure to connect the red wire to the marked pin on both sides. The P15S-P15F adapter has a Key E interface which is the second M.2 slot on the NUC5i5MYHE. It converts the M.2 slot to an Mini PCIe slot. (As a side note, I didn't manage to get the P15S-P15F to work in my NUC but I'm currently trying to find out why.) M.2 and PCIe Voltage Issue

Our support and community always has your back

M.2 is also known as Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF). It is a specification for internally mounted computer expansion cards. It is the successor to the mSATA standard, which uses the PCIe Mini Card physical card layout and connectors. M.2 is a very flexible standard that allows different module sizes and various interfaces. As M.2 cards are available in many possible variations, they are divided into different Form Factors and Keys. Maximum numbers of M.2 SSD support will vary, depending on different CPU specs and PCIe bifurcation settings in different ASUS motherboards. Please see the FAQ link for further information: If your router is having trouble delivering a strong Wi-Fi signal to certain areas of your home but you loathe the thought of switching between differently named networks for different parts of your house, the Netgear EAX15 can help. It’s easy to install, and you can use it to create a mesh-like network without buying a whole new mesh system, since it supports single-SSID naming for seamless roaming. It also supports the latest Wi-Fi 6 technology, and it delivered solid performance on the 5GHz band in our testing. Who It's For

My NUC currently runs with VMware ESXi 6.0.0 build-2494585 ( Setup Howto). The card has been detected without any further modification. With metal shield. The extender utilizes the latest materials for EMI shielding with five sole flat cables design. This technique allows each cable to be fully covered by electromagnetic interference shielding with conducting polymer to guard against incoming or outgoing emissions of electromagnetic frequencies, minimize disturbance and degradation on performance, and reduce the weight of the extender. Unfortunately, the 5th Gen NUC does no longer have a Mini PCIe slot. Instead it has M.2 slots. An easy solution would be a M.2 NIC, but until today there are no such cards available. In this post I will explain the possibilities to use PCIe cards with the M.2 slot to upgrade the 5th Gen NUC with additional NICs or other cards like Fibre Channel HBAs. For the first test I am using a network adapter with an Intel 82576 chipset. This is fully supported with ESXi so I do not have any driver issues. If your ESXi does not detect the card you should verify that the NUC has detected it in the BIOS (Devices > PCI). If the card as been detected, you probably have a driver issue in your ESXi.When shopping for a range extender, it's important to find one that matches your router's specs. For example, if you have a dual-band AC1900 router, get a dual-band AC1900 extender (or better). If your router supports Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) data streaming, which provides enhanced performance by sending data to compatible clients simultaneously rather than sequentially, look for an extender that supports this technology if you want to extend your MU-MIMO network. The P14S-P14FP adapter has a Key B interfaces which is available on all 5th gen NUCs. It converts the M.2 slot to a PCIe X4 slot where you can insert your PCIe network adapter.
