Hallo,
i would like to know which mPCIe Version the Omnia Turris is supporting? I didnt find anything in the documentation which version of mPCIe is supported.
The WLE900VX and WLE200N2 are both mPCIe 1.1.
I would like to implant the following mPCIe 2.0 wifi cards in the Omnia Turris but this only makes sense if Omnia turris support mPCIe 2.0.
WLE1216V5-20 I-TEMP WLE1216V2-20 I-TEMP WLE1216V5-20 WLE1216V2-20
All these Cards support Openwrt 3 and above.
I dont understand why the new mox is not sold with these new mPCIe 2.0 cards. What mPCIe Version is MOX supporting?
Best regards,
I’m running both cards (WLE1216V5-20 & WLE1216V2-20) in my Omnia without any issue.

This is great to hear.speedtest.net or fast.com ?
Have you noticed any Data throughput and range improvements?
On the Candelatech Site they mention that the cards get very hot and should be actively cooled. Are you using active cooling ?https://www.candelatech.com/ath10k-10.4.php
Is the installation complicated? Because on the Candelatech site they mention that you need to replace two files. board-2-ct.bin and firmware-5.bin

According to the product brief for the 88F6820 it features:
PCIe 2.0 with 1 Port x4 + 2 Ports x 1 or 4 Ports x1
6 SERDES lanes shared amongst PCIe/SGMII/QSGMII/SATA/sETM, e.g.
With PCIe 2.0 x1 the net throughput is 500 Mbyte/s in each direction, less the overhead for the transport protocol.
@chris-89 How did you connect the 5 antennas to the WLE1216V2 and V5 in your Omnia?
Did you go for something like this (from left to right):
Both
V2 only
Both (with additional diplexer)
V5 only
Both
or did you find there was another arrangement that minimized interference?
