    I am working on putting one of these CB160H cards into my CF 19 mk6.
    Minor modification is required.
    AW-CB160H----not a cheap card.
    802.11ac
    3 antennas just like the Intel 6300
    The CB160H uses different antenna connectors so short adapter cables are required.

    Photos coming soon.

    Actually I lied...I am modding in a ngff equivalent of the CB160H.
    I got confused somehow.

    I'll get Blair to adjust the thread title once I post photos and get it sorted on my end.

    Promised photos
    This is on a dead motherboard. I will install in on a good mk6 and test is electrically later tonight.
    I installed it in the WWAN slot and it recognized the Bluetooth but not the WIFI. Odd..
    First image shows the stud on the rear of the adapter that needs ground off.
    Second photo shows the adapter. Notice the corner needed trimmed slightly.
    Third shows the adapter and card in place. I had to trim a small amount off the passthrough bracket.

    Installed it tonight. Device manager found it but I had a driver install issue.
    I think it was a conflict with the fact i transferred this drive and win7 install from a mk4 to this mk6.

    I was too tired to recall that I had another caddy with a clean win7 install on it.
    I will try again later.
