AX210NGW WiFi 6E Card M.2 5400Mbps Tri-Band Wireless Module for Laptop,11AX WiFi Adapter with Bluetooth 5.3,MU-MIMO, Ultra-Low Latency, NGFF, Supports Windows 11/10 (64bit)

My house that I moved into is older and has a lack of cabling/coax jacks, so I setup a nice Wi-Fi 6 mesh network. Issue was that my laptop is a 2015 Dell Inspiron 14-5458. If 802.11ax mode (Wi-Fi 6) is enabled on the network, my laptop could not detect it due to the outdated WLAN/Wi-Fi 5 card. My mom's 2019 Dell Inspiron 13-7375 laptop had a defective card that would randomly be unable to detect any network.I decided to purchase a couple of these cards after verifying they would fit our device models, and needless to say, they work great! I searched for, downloaded, and installed Windows 10 Intel AX210 Bluetooth and Wi-Fi drivers prior to installing the cards. I looked up some diseembly videos and pictures to get an idea of where to install them. Once the laptops were taken apart, I made sure to disconnect the batteries and located the cards. I unclipped the antennae, pulled the cards out of their slots, and popped the new ones in. The toughest part was clipping the antennae back onto the replacement cards because the parts are very small. After around 30 minutes of strenuous effort, sweat, and frustration, I finally got them perfectly lined up to snap into the cards! Thankfully, the process was a bit quicker on my mom's laptop after tirelessly struggling on mine.After the new cards were installed and the laptops put together, I tested them out. My old laptop detected the network without issue and download speeds over Wi-Fi 6 were significantly faster than with the old card! With the new hardware, my mom's laptop consistently detected the network after reboot and when waking from sleep.All in all, this purchase was definitely worth it and for roughly $40, these newer WLAN/Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) cards can breathe life into the wireless connectivity and bandwidth speeds for your older laptops!

This was simple to install into our Lenovo Ideapad 3. Just plugged it in and it updated and worked perfect. Did not preload drivers. I logged back into our WiFi and then each website required logging back in. Simple fix

I recently got a new Dell Inspiron 15 (Ryzen 5-7530U) laptop, it has nice specs, however I didn’t like some internal components, specially the WiFi card, it came with a Realtek RTL8821CE which only supports 1-stream 802.11ac protocol with a max connection speed of 433Mbps, so I knew I had to upgrade it to a better one like this Intel AX210 card:PROS- Came well protected.- Includes screw and protector plate.- Just plug & play (didn’t need to download drivers on Windows 11)CONS- The main disadvantage would be you need tech skills to install it. If you have doubts, consider someone else to do it for you.MAIN SPECS- Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax)- 2x2 MIMO streams- Target Wake Time (TWT) to increase laptop battery life.- Bluetooth 5.3INSTALLATIONInstalling this card involves:- Removing 8 screws holding the laptop bottom cover.- Locating the WiFi card and removing the screw holding it in place.- Unattach the antennas.- Swap the new WiFi card in.- Connect antennas, consult your computer manual, as there is no standard on the color of the main and aux cables, for my laptop, white corresponds to MAIN connector and black to AUX connector.- Secure WiFi card with protective plate and screw.- Put back the laptop cover and secure it in place.DRIVERSAfter booting the laptop Windows 11 recognized and installed the drivers automatically, I just had to enter the WiFi credentials again and it connected flawlessly.BLUETOOTH 5.3I have a BT mouse connected to the laptop and all I can say is that it works. But BT 5.3 offers a more robust, power-efficient, and user-friendly Bluetooth experience compared to Bluetooth 5.0, especially if you use it to connect audio devices.CONCLUSIONI now have a speedy 1733 Mbps connection, as I have a WiFi 5 Synology RT2600 Router that I got back in 2017, I’m happy with the upgrade, if I ever upgrade my router I know the laptop will support WiFi 6.

Even as a somewhat early adopter of Wi-Fi 6 (a.k.a "802.11 AX") technology, I am really impressed by the speed and performance of this Intel AX200NGW Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 5 adapter! I have had zero problems with the consistency, speed, or reliability, throughout my entire 1400 sqft home, of Gigabit+ network file transfers, or internet access, on my Dell Inspiron 15 5570 laptop. The Bluetooth 5 also works flawlessly, and simultaneously with the Wi-Fi, albeit sharing the same overall bandwidth pipeline. For example, surfing the net and using a Bluetooth mouse and/or speakers is well within the capabilities of this card. But all that being said, Wi-Fi 6 is still relatively young at the time of writing this review, and hence I recommend that for most people that don't feel comfortable performing "surgery" on their laptop, or paying much more than the price of this adapter for a certified technician to do it, and want to "set-it-and-forget-it" (a.k.a. leave in for the entire life of their machine) like I sometimes find myself contemplating, wait until the Wi-Fi 6 technology matures a little bit more, and it is more refined, for optimal efficiency, and better max speeds, at least on the hardware side of things, so you won't find yourself regretting your decision when a faster and more capable adapter comes around in the "not-so-distant" future. But if you need or "want" bleeding-edge Wi-Fi 6 technology today, and have the correct interface for it available on your laptop, you really can't go wrong with this adapter. It's an excellent value for the money!
