Posted May 28, 2019 Hi, I want to upgrade my laptop to have a built in 4G modem. There are cards for this, like this one here, but they take an M.2 slot and my laptop doesn't have one free. It's WiFi card is M.2 though, so if there is a combo card that handles WiFi AND 4G that would be epic. Does anyone know of such a card? Yes, it's 2871 as in the year 2871. I traveled all this way, back in time, just to help you. And you thought your mama lied when she said you were special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 28, 2019 To my knowledge wifi and modem have different chipset. You can have either one but i haven't seen any of both.

This also means one would need multiple sets of antennas, since you can't share the antenna for both. AFAIK, there is no such an M.2 card in existence at the moment. Hand, n.

Posted May 28, 2019 The easy way is to have which one is your main device and add a usb dongle for the other. I say have the 4g module in m.2 / mini pcie and a mini wifi dongle like this one.
