Intel Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) Desktop Kit, AX200, 2230, 2x2 AX+BT, vPro®

Intel just does WiFi well for those who want minimal headaches.The installation is as expected, you can find videos online or follow the instructions provided with the device and/or your motherboard.Quality is as expected, solid and reliable components that perform as expected (strong signal and consistent data rate)If your motherboard can support this device, and the specifications meet your desired WiFi setup, this device should work well for you

I bought this to replace the Broadcom adapter in my HP Pavilion x360 laptop that's roughly 2 years old. The Broadcom chip had so many issues with dropping the connection or refusing to connect to my WiFi, regardless of where I was standing in relation to one of TWO Unifi U6 Lite APs mounted in my home.Installing this was easy. It comes with antenna's but they aren't necessary for use in laptops, so I was able to just unhook them from the chip. I opened my laptop, which was the hardest part since the some of the screws were under the rubber feet (Which were actually rubber strips running across the laptop. Ugh.). I finally got the case off, pulled out the Broadcom chip, inserted the Intel chip, reattached the antennas, and booted up the laptop. The chip immediately worked out of the box with no drivers or anything required, and it simultaneously gets better speeds than the Broadcom but also consistently connects to WiFi 6 (The broadcom would nearly always do WiFi 4 for some stupid reason) and reliably connects and stays connected to my network.Overall, I'd say if your laptop takes an M.2 WiFi chip and you're having issues with it, just bite the bullet and chunk some money at this Intel one. About 30 minutes of effort has saved me hours of headache.*Note: This was tested on Ubuntu 24.04, NOT Windows 11. However, I had the same issues on Ubuntu 24.04 that I was having on Windows 11, prompting me to switch the chip regardless since I was able to remove the OS as a variable. Broadcom is not known for their Linux support; Intel, however, works great. I would expect the same quality that I've written about here when using Windows 11, as well.

The Wi-Fi card is great and works better than the one that came in my laptop originally. I installed it in my PC and the accessories were great for this, you can take apart the bracket and just install the wires into holes in your IO shield if you have them.

Found this when I realized my motherboard did not have an inbuilt wifi card, but this just fits right in below my gpu slot and it has been working since. The upload and download speeds are comparable and sometimes even faster than my phone. Having an unexpected cost of needing to buy a wifi card felt frustrating but hopefully it can stay around long enough for another motherboard upgrade or two. An important thing to note: it does not come with a m.2 screw, I had to spend a bit more getting that too.

This was super easy to install and was plug and play. Nothing to set up, it worked as soon as I turned on the PC. The one disadvantage, there was no screw to hold it in place on the motherboard in the kit and had to buy some on amazon here. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08S7NV2B7?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. The Wi-Fi signal was strong and reliable. I would definitely recommended this - I just wish it included a screw with the kit.

After building a new gaming desktop, I regretted choosing a motherboard without built-in wi-fi. I bought this to add wireless connectivity since I already had a dedicated m.2 Wi-Fi slot on the board (completely hidden under my graphics card, so sorry for no picture) and premade holes in the rear panel for the coax connectors.Installation was tricky because I decided to mount the connectors in the existing holes in the motherboard rear panel, then route the little wires under the motherboard shroud to keep them out of the way. I foolishly did this without removing the motherboard from the case, adding a lot of extra difficulty. I eventually managed the cable routing and got the antenna wires plugged back into the wi-fi board.I wasn't quite sure if this Intel board would work since I have an AMD system (AMD 7800X3D CPU, ASRock B650 Pro RS motherboard), but that was no issue. In fact, when I booted up it already seemed to recognize the new wi-fi capability. I downloaded the driver from the Intel website via wired internet just to be safe, then unplugged the ethernet cable and tried wi-fi. I still have internet! Download speeds are a little bit slower on wi-fi (150 Mb/s instead of 180 Mb/s on ethernet connection), but that's expected since my wireless router is pretty old and doesn't even support the latest connection standards.In the end, everything worked and I'm happy!
