Question about Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265
Hello Dear Digiteg Team Can this W-LAN module be installed on the ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming (AM4, AMD B450, ATX) motherboard together with the WD Green 3D NAND (480GB, M.2 2280)?! Thank you very much for your feedback

No, this will not work. Your board supports M2 cards with a minimum length of 40mm (M2.2240) - but the WLAN card is only 30mm long (M2.2230). Furthermore, this is not recommended anyway, as this WLAN module is intended for notebooks. Est does not include antennas, so extra antennas would have to be bought and installed. My recommendation would be to buy a full PCI-E card, for example something like this: ASUS PCE-AC56 (PCI-E x1, 866Mbit/s, 320Mbit/s)
... I couldn't have said it better myself! That's exactly how it is and I also used the WLAN module in a notebook!
