No, they are not compatible. The WiFi card is m.2 the adapter is designed for Mini-PCIe. Besides cheap no name adapters are rarely reliable. Sometimes they work usually they are a pile of crud.

Most people certainly don't do that type of setup.

I would suggest a proper PCIe 802.11ac card.

As far as cheaper cards go. You are probably better off with a high quality n card than a low quality ac.

i know its for a laptop but will it work for the adapter... thats what most people do....

most companies just slab an intel chip on top of their circuit brand trays ... might as well repeat these methods
