Can I Upgrade Airport to 802.11AC?
Mac Mini (late 2006) Model A1176
My goal is to make my mini into a 802.11AC access point (AP) and a NAS. I know the thing doesn't have the antennae needed, but hey I got a Dremel ;)
Would this card work with my mini ?

The thing I'm worried by is the mini pcie connection, is it compatible? The pins seem to be similar (looking at the picture)
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

There's a lot more to getting 802.11 ac throughput than just installing a card. Router and network have to support it also.

Router and network?
I think the first and foremost need for the 802.11AC speed is to be able to provide sufficient bandwidth for my mac book pro (NAS & Internet). The mini has gigabit ethernet as well, so it shouldn't be a big bottleneck for my LAN access needs. ISP provides me with 100Mbit so obviously the biggest gains would be in the NAS access with my mac book.
