Z87 vs Z97 wifi

Xorbex

I have a z87 mpower max with a motherboard wireless n adapter. My question is can I use the wireless adapter from the z97 in my board. The reasoning is that the one in the z97 board is wireless ac. Finally if its possible any ideas where to purchase one.

Thx in advance guys/gals

the realm of wifi is similar to that of black magic, but if its built in wifi its not really something you can mix and match. your best bet would be to get a usb3.0 or pci wifi adapter

That was what I assumed. Just figured the mini cards may have been interchangeable due to z87 and z97 being similar.
