AX210 Desktop Kit

Update: I reset the networks on my laptop through the Windows system settings, and once my system rebooted, I was able to get the speeds I expected from the card. Original review (four stars): I ordered this kit to kill two birds with one stone. I used the external antennas to replace the ones I was using for my desktop computer, and that was a pretty simple swap-out. I used the AX210 Wi-Fi card to replace the AX201 in my laptop. My smartphone regularly records Wi-Fi 6E speeds of over 1050Mbps, and I was only maxing out at around 750Mbps on my laptop's Wi-Fi 6 card. I was hoping that upgrading to the AX210 would give my laptop speeds similar to those on my smartphone. While the card was relatively easy to install, reattaching the antennas is annoying because the connectors are so small and have to be precisely aligned to be snapped into place. I got it done, though, and I was prepared to be impressed by the speed increase. Unfortunately, not only did I not see a speed increase, I haven't come close to the top speed achieved with the previous card; the highest speed I've recorded is around 660Mbps. Don't get me wrong; that is plenty fast for a laptop. However, I'm disappointed that my smartphone's Wi-Fi6E modem achieves much faster speeds than my laptop's Wi-Fi 6E card, and that the newer, more advanced card is not as fast at its highest speed as the old one.

The only complaint I have is the length of the antenna wires but I can get over it, it's a one size fits all. Not everyone's set up is as close as mine is to the graphics mounting (They are pretty long for my motherboard.) Internet speed hasn't bottle necked for me yet. It supports my ISPs speed at 250-300mbps. Bluetooth on this card was good, no issues with connecting. This card is the Intel AX200 m.2. So far it was worth the price.

for $28 I am thoroughly impressed with the ease of use of this card, Dell automatically recognized the card, didn't need to connect the computer via cable to download. The speeds are great, the only issue I have with the card is that there is no screw included to mount the card in the m.2 slot, if not for having a spare screw the installation would not have proceeded. I would gladly have paid $29 and had the screw included.

Easy installation, connected to WiFi without any issues. Fit m.2 slot, speed test is perfect for the price!

I could not make the cable connection. I must be too old. I could line up the connection, but it would not join together. People who design this trash need to be forced to use it.

I was skeptical of this Wifi card working with my Lenovo laptop since a lot of reviews and forum posts says Lenovo whitelists wireless cards on certain models. What I learned ALSO is that after a certain model/year, Lenovo stopped the whole Whitelist fiasco. My Ideapad 3 15ARH7 comes with Realtek 8825BE(?) and noticed wifi drops periodically. I searched Google and noticed a lot of Realtek Wifi card users were swapping in these Intel AX210 cards. Mine worked, and I'm glad. Be sure to download the Wifi and BT drivers before the transplant. Also, before you remove your old wifi/bt combo card, unpair any peripherals.

Excellent product 👌

It's pcie bracket is total crap. It works wonderfully do not have any troubles did not even need to grab any drivers just started working.

We spent 4 hours trying to fit the tiny antenna pins to the wifi board and failed. Then we had to return the item. Completely unusable product just because we couldn't attach the antenna.
