I don't really know much about M.2 slots and the different capabilities and how the key type corresponds, so I don't want to spend money on something that won't work.
There's an unused slot on the motherboard marked 'M.2 PCIe / SATA1'. I believe it's M-keyed.
Can it be used with an M+B keyed adapter like this one? Or will it physically fit, but the socket itself isn't wired to work with an ethernet adapter? Is there a command I can run to figure out the capabilities of that slot?
My plan is to use this machine as an OpenWrt router to replace the shitty Linksys one my ISP supplied, but it would obviously need a second ethernet socket. My home wifi is dealt with by a TP-Link mesh network, so I don't need it to have wifi and bluetooth. I could use the slot that the networking card is using, but if I can retain those then that would be ideal for any future flexibility I may need.
Well the item they linked is listed for 17,99 euros, probably listed for 24 usd on the american website.
Unfortunately I can't switch to the american version. For some reason they use the absolutely awful captcha with the slowly disappearing images, which I refuse to use. The Dutch version has the regular one where you just select the images without them disappearing.
The disappearing images are the worst. Often makes me rethink how bad i want to visit their website
Its showing $17.97 USD for me, though I have seen prices charge drastically once you actually log in.
I guess it automatically locallizes the price. Shows me 23.99CAD.
Doesn't show me a captcha either.
