ZDE ZP596 PCIe to M.2 E Key WiFi7 6 6E 5 PCIe to 2.5G Ethernet Network Port HAT Adapter Expansion Board 2.5GB 2.5GBE for Raspberry Pi 5 Support Google TPU WiFi 7 BE200 WIFI6E AX210 MT7922 WIFI6 AX200

Features:

This expansion board adds one M.2 E-KEY interface and one 2.5GBE network port for Raspberry Pi 5, perfectly compatible with Raspberry Pi 5 2GB/4GB/8GB/16GB pc computer (NOT include Raspberry Pi 5).

Through the PCIe interface with PCIe Switch chip to expand into two PCIe interfaces, one to achieve the expansion of M.2 E-KEY and the other to achieve the expansion of 2.5Gbps Ethernet through the RTL8125 chip.

WIFI7 is the latest 7th generation WIFI with faster speeds than previous generations of WIFI. And there will be more and more WIFI7 wireless routers, WIFI7 network cards and other devices.

At present, Ubuntu supports wireless network cards of WIFI7 WIFI6(E) WIFI5, which can be used without installing drivers. The currently supported network cards include BE200, 8265C, AX200, AX210, MT7922.

To use the WiFi7/6/6E/5 wireless network cards, the Raspberry Pi OS needs to install a driver, it depends on how familiar you are with the wifi driver and Raspberry Pi OS. We have instructions about driver BE200, AX200, AX210.

After power on, the Ethernet network port of the board can be automatically recognised as eth1 without installing driver under Raspberry Pi official OS system. When you use ubuntu system, you need to install the RTL8125 driver and then you can use it.

Comes with on-board SMA connectors, suitable for installing WIFI antennas.

The ZP596 acts as an adapter board between the WIFI7 WIFI6(E) WIFI5 module and the Raspberry Pi 5 motherboard. The performance of the wireless depends on the Raspberry Pi 5 motherboard, the operating system and the wireless module.
