Well, except maybe this, but it's not a PCI-E card https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PB1X4CN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As there is no XP driver for this model, I'am just searching for a replacement. https://www.zotac.com/us/product/mini_pcs/en760 17 hours ago, RainyShadow said: driver here - https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/archer-t2u-nano/#Driver @genieautravail If you insist on internal adapter, PCI-E slots have USB pins (usually), so you can just solder that one directly to these pins. https://pinoutguide.com/Slots/mini_pcie_pinout.shtml You may have to source the +5V from elsewhere though, if the adapter doesn't work with 3.3V.

Sfor Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I just bought AR5B22 adapter. According to the seller there are XP drivers for WiFi adapter. But, I do not have a solid proof there are XP drivers for Bluetooth. As for the Realtek RTL8821AE, I was able to get it working with XP in Asus EEE PC X101CH. However, I found no XP driver for Bluetoth, as well. Both these Adapters are dual band with integrated Bluetooth. I bought half size mini PCI-E versions.

genieautravail Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 @Sfor Thank you for the informations. To be honest I don't need Bluetooth with XP. So the lack of a XP driver for bluetooth insn't a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
