In this way, you may install over 100 Wi-Fi NICs to your system in theory. Therefore, you may install connect multiple NICs to only one of the motherboard PCI-E slots via the bridge adapter.Īnd even more so, you may build a multi-layer hierarchy of the bridge adapters and install AX200, QCA9300 or IWL5300 to all its leaf nodes.
The PCI-E bridge adapter can split one PCI-E connection into multiple, just like a PCI-E hub. PCI-E bridge adapter-based multi-NIC installation Modified ThinkPad X201 laptop equipped with two Wi-Fi NICs (QCA9300 and IWL5300) and three external SMA antennas # The laptop can also install AX200 using a M.2-to-Mini PCI-E converter. Even more, X201 enables you to install three SMA-based external antennas! The following photo shows our modified ThinkPad X201 equipped with both the QCA9300 and IWl5300 and three external antennas.

With some hardware and software tricks, we modify a old laptop model ThinkPad X201, and install two Mini PCI-E/M.2 based Wi-Fi NICs.
The onboard Mini PCI-E or M.2 slots spare the need for PCI-E 1x adaptors. This is the most convenient approach for installing multiple NICs. Multi-Mini PCI-E/M.2 slots based multi-NIC installation This type of motherboard have dozens of PCI-E 1x slots, and you can use PCI-E slot riser to install dozens of Wi-Fi NICs on one single motherboard. To overcome this issue, you may choose the cryptocurrency mining motherboards, such as MSI B360-F Pro. However, there are usually only 2 or 3 PCI-E slots left for the Wi-Fi NICs. With the help of the Mini PCI-E to PCI-E 1x adapter or M.2 to PCI-E 1x adapter, you can install multiple AX200, QCA9300 or IWL5300 NICs directly on the motherboard of a desktop PC. PCI-E 1x adapter based multi-NIC installation We recommend four multi-NIC installation methods. Installation of (Multiple) Commercial Wi-Fi NICs # To help you get the hardware ready, we share some hardware preparation experience, mainly focusing on the multi-devices setup. The most welcomed feature of PicoScenes is the concurrent operation of multiple RF frontends, i.e., simultaneous CSI measurement or packet injection using a commercial Wi-Fi NIC/SDR array. PicoScenes currently supports 4 commercial Wi-Fi NIC models and USRP-based SDR devices, including the AX200/AX210, QCA9300 and IWL5300, and all USRP models.
