cMP 5,1 2010 without WiFi - what's needed

[adam9c1]

I have a 2010 cMP 5,1 without the optional WiFi adapter.

I'm looking to obtain the AC BT LE card. Will it come with all necessary antennas?
If not what do I do?

Antennas are attached on the logic board regardless if the WiFi card is there.

However, the screw may not be there, this could be an issue.

Isn’t the WiFi card is the standard parts in 5,1? Are you sure you cMP is from 2010?

yup cMP 5,1

The SN shows up as a 5,1 mid 2010
Perhaps the previous owner pulled it.

Not a powerhouse ( don't need speedy WiFi for my cMP ) but for about US$9.60 I got a USB WiFi card to work in my 5,1 cMP in Maverick, Sierra and High Sierra https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...orks-with-dlink-driver.2089607/#post-25491259

I use an "Edimax" USB dongle when I want wi/fi from my MacPro3,1, never let me down yet!

I bought this 2nd hand. Perhaps the previous owner pulled it out to use in another device.
