    I'm looking forward to the upcoming TPCast wireless accessory for the HTC Vive. Just read it will require a WiGig card. Does anyone know if such a card is available and can be installed in my P870DM3? Intel makes some WiGig cards, possibly in m2 format. I may be misinterpreting, and not sure how that would even work, as in could I plug it into existing laptop antennas and retain regular wifi capability, or would it be one or the other. Seems like an external solution may be the only way.

    Thank you! Looks like I'd have to do some DIY and custom install extra antennas. And a lot of questions remain. Would the antennas be long enough and fit behind LCD and is there even enough space back there, which m.2 slot does p870dm3 have so I can get corresponding card, will this cause reception issues with current wifi, would setup in the link for sure be compatible with TPCast. I'm thinking I might wait for TPCast to come out, will have more definitive info on compatible setup.
