Intel AX211NGW Wi-Fi 6 Wireless Card M.2: CNVio2, Bluetooth 5.3, Tri Band 2.4/5/6 GHz Network Adapter for Laptop Support Windows 10/11 (64bit) Linux Chrome OS Only Available with Gen Intel 12+ CPU

Worked great on a Lenovo Legion 5. Make sure to download the proper driver beforehand.

I ordered this to replace an existing AX201 Wifi card on a Dell G16 notebook, with 13th Gen Intel I9 CPU, running Windows 11. The existing AX201 board kept failing at random times. No physical replacement instructions provided, but it was pretty straight-forward - remove the bottom cover of the laptop, locate the existing wifi board. Use the supplied small screwdriver to remove one screw, remove plastic connector cover over the mini coax connectors, disconnect the 2 connectors (needle nose pliers are helpful here), then pull the wifi board away from the connector. Install the new wifi board and reassemble in reverse order. I restarted in BIOS setup mode (hold F2 while powering up), then made sure the new integrated wifi was enabled. Didn't even have to download new drivers, Windows recognized the new AX211 board and even gave a new message that 6GHz band was now available. So far it has been working great!

Lots of people purchase M.2 WiFi cards thinking they just work as-is, or are plug and play. This card is for Intel Processors only! This is because Intel added all the wireless protocol technology into their latest gen CPUs which are accessed via the PCIe lanes in the M.2 slot (there's more technical details I will spare) This card is quite literally just an antenna that has a proprietary microcontroller that tranceives and amplifies the electromagnetic signal to/from the antenna. It translates those signals and **sends them to the CPU** to finish translating the analog signal into the Wifi or Bluetooth protocols which then futher propagate down to what most people just understand as "An internet connection" This card is NOT a WiFi card. It's an Intel microcontroller that has an antenna for WiFi. You need an Intel CPU that has the ability to connect to this device, vice versa.

I've installed a half dozen of these into my Orange Pi 5 plus single board computers. They work great when installed. The problem is getting the tiny external antenna wires snapped onto the board's two connectors. I've wrecked a good 4 of these boards trying to attach external antenna connectors. The connectors on the board tend to deform much more prevalently than the connector on the antenna wires.

Blows the factory Wi-Fi card that came in my Lenovo Legion laptop out of the water. Install was easy, connects to network right away, fast enough for surfing, streaming, and gaming. If possible, I do recommend downloading the proper drivers for this unit prior to swapping out your old card since you will not be able to connect to Wi-Fi.

Worked perfectly! Dropped in and away it went, no issues at all. Would buy again, would recommend!

I bought this to upgrade a Dell OptiPlex 7000 Micro I bought used that didn't originally come with WiFi. It installed no issues, came with all the necessary screws and in packaging that protected it. If you need to upgrade a computer that has the older AX201 WiFi6 to a card that supports WiFi6E (6GHz band), then this is a good affordable way to do it. Just be sure to also purchase the antenna kit separately if your OptiPlex 7000 Micro did not come with WiFi from the factory (as mine didn't).

Did not work. Replaced, installed drivers, was not visible by computer at all. Connected to ethernet to trouble shoot, no results. Dead card. Old card still works, so not computer (was upgrading due to intermittent loss of connection.)

All I can say is that the one I received is working and I appear to be getting the wireless speeds I would expect. It appears as though these are alternatively sourced pieces, maybe excess stock or pulls from e-recycling. It comes in a nondescript box with nothing denoting Intel on the package. The added screw and retention bracket is nice, and it came with a basic cheap screwdriver as well.

probé varias tarjetas solo esta funcionó en un equipo dell precision

No funciona con wifi 6e ni siquiera con los drivers en windows 11, la operatividad del dispositivo inalámbrico es errante con wifi 6e porque aveces lo visualiza y en su mayoría de uso del pc simplemente no aparece la banda de 6Ghz en la lista de redes. Es molesto que ni siquiera con la version 23.20.0 mas actual de intel funcione adecuadamente. No Recomiendo esta version ax211 CNVIO2 de intel mejor compren la ax210 pcie esa si funciona bien.
