Abstract: An electronic device includes an M.2 connector, a protection circuit, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine whether a module inserted into the M.2 connector is a 4G module or a 5G module. In response to that the processor determines the inserted module is the 4G module, the processor causes the protection circuit to execute a protection process. In response to that the processor determines the inserted module is the 5G module, the processor causes the protection circuit not to execute the protection process. In the protection process, the protection circuit blocks an electrical connection between a first pin of the M.2 connector and a first power supply and blocks an electrical connection between a second pin of the M.2 connector and a reset signal. A method for making two communication modules be compatible in a single M.2 connector and a computer-implemented method thereof are also provided.
