Waveshare AC8265 Wireless NIC Module for Jetson Orin Nano/NX Supports 2.4GHz / 5GHz Dual Band WiFi and Bluetoth 4.2

Works perfectly well in my Jetson. The wifi works great. I used a wifi dongle before but sometimes they seem to have a slight delay. An internal wifi works magnificently better.

fast wifi

Plug it in, it works. Can't ask for much more...

I recently purchased this Waveshare AC8265 Wireless NIC Module for Jetson Nano and when I went to attach the included IPEX antenna connectors, only one IPEX connector would stay connected. A computer friend who deals with IPEX antenna connectors verified that the one IPEX connector that would not stay connected to the Waveshare module was badly damaged, but also verified that the male connector on the Waveshare module was ok and undamaged.I therefore suspect that I received a returned product and not a brand new Waveshare module as the damaged IPEX antenna connector did not have its attachment hardware installed which was laying in the bottom of product box.I was able to salvage the Waveshare module by purchasing a replacement IPEX antenna connector that fit the Waveshare module.A friend of mine later purchased a Waveshare module, from Waveshare, that came with all of the components (module, IPEX antenna connectors, and antennas) in one large anti-static bag with the Waveshare module in its own anti-static bag therefore proving that I received a returned product.The Waveshare WiFi module works great in my Jetson Nano SBC and I would recommend this WiFi module to anyone who needs to add WiFi to their Jetson Nano. The Jetson Nano Ubuntu Mate OS found the module right away and allowed me to connect to my home WiFi router without a problem.

I purchased this module specifically for the Jetson Nano, and it works perfectly, but I noticed that the board fits M.2 headers which means it could easily be used for any M.2 equipped device.

Mine came with the antenna leads already connected to the circuit board. That is good since the type of RF connectors used are notoriously hard to work with and can be a problem for users.

One of the challenges of living on the bleeding edge with new platforms like the Jetson Nano is that you never know what will work and what will not work. I purchased this wifi kit, and was pleased to see it works very well, and connects directly to the Nano. You will use certain words you should not when you try and get the little antenna connector snapped onto the board. Very tricky as you do not want to bend the connector, but it does take a lot of force. Just the nature of these connectors. Worked great for me.

Does not fit in the Jetson orin nano developer kits edition
