AX210HMW WiFi Card, Wi-Fi 6E Laptop Wireless Card Mini PCIE Interface, Tri-Band Wireless Module for Laptop, 802.11AX WiFi Adapter with Bluetooth 5.3, MU-MIMO, Supports Windows 11/10 (64bit)/Linux

The WiFi connection in my 2014 Gateway Intel-based laptop seemed to drop often lately, and it required more reboots than anything else to get the WiFi card and Windows to function together again. I think it must have been the driver software, as the RealTek driver had not been updated in a long while. I decided to upgrade it to something much newer as I had extra m.2 cards lying around... then I opened the case and found that it used an older PCIe short length card for its WiFi.I was amazed that they still sold them on Amazon... even more amazed that they had a recent Intel chipset available. I ordered this one as it upgraded the laptop from 2.4Ghz only to also support 5Ghz and possibly 6Ghz channels. I can confirm that the Intel drivers work well on this card as they have not yet dropped the signal and refused to connect like the old one... (and also no weird new crashes of Win10). The card connects to my WiFi 6 (AX) network and the Windows properties show that it is using AX style channel sizing on the 5Ghz channels... so the WiFi 6 is functional as well. As for WiFi 6E (6Ghz), I will just have to wait for my next router upgrade to see if it works -- I just paid the extra five bucks to have that silly future-proofing in my mind.... but also because there are probably other firmware/driver updates to the AX210 vs the AX200 to support performance and stability.I am rating it four stars... it works well and it is stable, but I dropped a star mostly because installing these cards is not really that easy for the average user... and connecting those tiny wires is not easy for anyone. As always, your mileage and preferences may vary...

Saved my 13-year-old Thinkpad W520. Its old Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (Model 62205ANHMW) card had pathetic Bluetooth range and Wi-Fi was frustratingly choppy, averaging around 20 Mbps download speeds or less. Meanwhile, my router reported over 500 Mbps download speeds. (This speed may be for wired Ethernet connections.)The EDUP card took a few days longer to ship than I had expected, but it was worth the wait.As of July 2, 2024, I was able to easily download BIOS 1.45 from Lenovo’s site and install that over 1.46, in order to install a modded 1.46 that removes BIOS Wi-Fi whitelist.I installed Intel’s Proset Wireless Tools from their website, took out the two screws holding the keyboard in, and lifted the keyboard to replace the old Wi-Fi card with EDUP’s card.My eero router reported that a Hon Hai Precision Industry device connected to my network when I fired up the W520.Download speeds now max out at about 220 Mbps, but mostly stay in the 170-190 Mbps range even with nobody else connected to the network. (Please inform me if there is a way to push it faster on this old machine.) Bluetooth also connects quickly. I can finally have the laptop in one room and a Bluetooth speaker in another!--July 6, 2024 update: I am not a tech geek, but Device Manager shows this card as a Qualcomm Atheros AR5BWB222 Wireless Network Adapter. I had supposedly bought an Intel AX210HMW, and the little flyer that came with the card directed me to install Intel drivers. I am also running Windows 10 Pro. I do not have a Wi-Fi 6 network. However, my speeds appear to be in 802.11ac "real world" ranges, which matches my eero mesh network (installed in 2020). Strange, but good enough.

Product worked well after a little while (I think it settled in with my router after a while). Windows 10 didn't work in 6 GHz, but that's a windows 10 issue. I still managed to get 1.7 gigabits / sec on windows 10 pro. Great card!

I installed this mini PCIE card in an older Toshiba Satellite 678 laptop computer, 64-bit, with dual Intel Pentium B940 processors. The operating system is Linux Fedora 36 Workstation. Upon boot up, the card instantly recognized my 5.0 GHz WiFi network. One by one, I tried each of my Bluetooth devices. Some Bluetooth devices paired with little effort. Other devices required a computer reboot and multiple pairing attempts. Eventually, however, all my Bluetooth accessories, old and new, paired with the card.Switching out cards was an easy process and, unlike a competitor's card I previously purchased, the EDUP card's protective metal cover didn't dislodge from the circuit board upon installation.I paid a few dollars more for this item, but the 1-year warranty and higher quality control standards more than justify the product's slightly higher price.

While most routers are constantly upgraded to the new 802.11 standards, the network adaptors on PCs and laptops don't get that chance. I had an older Dell Inspiron laptop. I upgraded the Wifi module from the Advance N-6235 module to this card. The download speed improved from 25Mbps to nearly 400 Mbps.Note: You need to download and install a special driver that the document suggests. Make sure you do that before you remove the old Wifi module. Otherwise, you won't have a network connection to download the driver with :-}.

Works great with Linux Mint.

Fastest WiFi 6 card you can get currently (May 2025) with BT 5.3. This is the same chipset that the M.2 version has (Intel AX210) but this version is for the older PCIe half-height card interface.Be sure your antennas support tri-band in order to connect to WiFi 6. The card works under Windows 10 but not on WiFi 6 (a limitation of the Win10 operating system, not this chipset). Fully functional on Windows 11.Worked for me on a Dell 2330 One with drivers from the Intel web site and updated antennas. No issues that others have reported. I'd buy again.

Funciono en mi computadora de escritorio con placa base H61, cuál tiene conector MINI PCIE.Es importante comprar las antenas, ya que no vienen integradas.
