Upgraded my old Z370-E MB. SOOO MUCH FASTER!!! Wifi and BT. Works flawless with windows 11 and a i5-8600K 8th gen CPU on this MB

The Acer Aspire 5 (Model 515-44 AMD Ryzen 7) came from the factory with a Qualcomm 344A-AC network interface. The Qualcomm card has always been a bit flaky and after I upgraded to an Asus Wifi6 router, it was taking 30 seconds to establish the connection on start-up. Wasn't sure if I could upgrade to a Wifi6 card but the Acer support website provided both Qualcomm 344 and Intel AX200 drivers for this model. So, I ordered the card and hoped for the best. Opening the back of the Acer was by far the only minor challenge and that is because you have to be gentle after the screws are out and you're prying the edges up and off the snap connectors. The network interface installation was literally remove old and insert new. Reconnecting the antenna leads is always a little tricky for those of us with big hands. Restarted the system and, naturally, it couldn't connect to the web. New card means the networks and password settings have to be reentered. The system immediately recognized both the new WiFi and the new Bluetooth but ran them with default Microsoft drivers. Fortunately, I had already downloaded the Acer AX200 WiFi and Bluetooth drivers so I just executed the installer for each (WiFi first) and restarted the system. First thing I checked was the link speeds between my laptop and the router. I found that the new card has increased the speeds by about 50% to 1155Mbps transmit/receive. Also had to set up my Bluetooth by re-pairing my ear buds but that went smoothly and they work perfectly. All-in-all, easy peasy ... $20 and an hour of my time to bring my old laptop up to modern WiFi standards.

It does what it says on the tin.

Intel BE200 Wireless Wifi7 / Bluetooth v5.4 Ethernet Card Pros: –Easy replacement on Windows 11 23H2 and Lenovo IdealPad3 laptop using an Intel CPU but connecting the antenna wires requires patience. Router is wifi 6 with FIOS internet. –This is an upgrade from bluetooth v5.2 to v5.4; purchased this card to take immediate advantage of v5.4 for my mouse and earbuds –The laptop arrived with wifi 6 using AX201NWG adapter, this wifi 7 BE200 card still communicates well with the wifi 6 router so this purchase is future proofing for me. Internet speeds remain fast and stable –Very pleased BT v5.4 increased distance earbuds continue receiving signal away from source –Downloaded and pre-installed latest Intel wireless/bluetooth drivers so installation was seamless. –I would purchase this card again, it’s a good investment for current use and future proofing Other thoughts: –Did not expect but had to un-pair and re-pair the bluetooth mouse and earbuds after switching out the adapter–determined that from trial and error so that should be first on anyone’s troubleshooting list before thinking the card is defective –Research indicates it will be late 2024 when MS releases Windows 11 update 24H2 which will include wifi 7 drivers and support. Until then, we operate with wifi 6 or 6E. –People are still reporting issues using the BE200 platform with some AMD CPUs but that varies between CPU models

For some background info, I recently moved into a new rental unit. The wifi speeds were already not great (I don't pay for it, wifi was already installed when I moved in) but I wanted to make sure the connection from my pc to the router was as lossless in connection as possible. My pc is too far away from the router to use an ethernet cable, and I was not able to use a PCIe wifi card due to not having any open PCIe slots on my motherboard, so I resulted in swapping over to m.2 wifi since my motherboard had a slot for it. I was initially using a Tplink Archer T3U Plus which would get the job done but my connection would not be stable. I would have to limit the amount of programs running that were using the internet, watch twitch streams/youtube videos in 480p, and have to primarily play offline games due to ping spikes. After looking into solutions, I decided to try the AX210. Even after installing it with two 9dbi antennas, the card was no better than the T3U plus, in fact it was even worse. After that, I decided to take a gamble and buy this AX411. Using the same antennas, this one is way better. From having to watch twitch streams in 480p and having the stream lag/crash often, I am now able to both watch a youtube video and a twitch stream at the same time both in 1080p without lag and having the youtube video render far ahead. I believe that this is largely due to the fact that the AX411 has double connect (connect with 2.4 and 5 GHz at the same time) but I find that it's a lot slower using the 5 GHz to download games compared to 2.4 GHz since I am far away from my router. I'm not sure how to change which band is used for downloads or if it's even possible to do so. My ping in games is a lot more stable, a lot less ping spikes which I would honestly say the spikes that I see are on the wifi's end, not on my hardware. For all of the hardware I used, I optimized the settings in device manager to fit my situation. If you wish to do the same, intel explains each wireless adapter setting on their website. In terms of installation, it is a very tedious process. It is an extremely small connector for the cable. The parts are so small and hard to see. I have lots of experience working on computer hardware and it was still tough for me. There are times where you think its connected but the connector just falls off. You need to listen and feel for the click, if you feel it's in and it looks like it's in but you didn't hear or feel the click, it's likely not connected right and will just fall off easily. In the end, patience is key. This card being only around $5-10 more expensive than the older models (AX210,AX211 etc.) it's value for money increases immensely. Definitely do your research and check for compatibility with your system before buying though. Edit: When playing a multiplayer game or downloading something, it switches the network to the 5 GHz band. When you are not doing either of those, it is on the 2.4 GHz. This may be convenient for others, but for me it is not because I am very far from my router. In my case, if I am playing a game and have a youtube video playing, the video will lag because 5 GHz is slower for me. You are easily able to switch this by changing your preferred band in device manager.

works well replaced my oem hp envy card. Works on winders 11

Upgraded the whole house to wifi7. Unfortunately, I had no devices in the entire house that could take advantage of this new speed. My laptop needed an upgrade. Did some research and found this chip. Watched a few installation videos and popped it in as soon as it arrived. Now my laptop is flying through the internet. Speeds over 1000mbps. Just hope it lasts. If not, I'll be back to update.

Not compatible with AMD laptop motherboards. Instead, it enables plugged-in mode and bypasses Optimus.

Funciona perfecto

I replaced the Intel 3168 (Wireless AC/5 433mbps) in my Intel NUC (6th gen Apollo Lake with Celeron J3455). It was essentially a drop-in replacement. I haven't been able to test the Wifi 6E performance yet, but I'm getting a solid 500mbps with a Wifi 6 router through two walls including concrete so I have no reason to doubt the performance. More importantly, I'm pleased with the compatibility.

It arrived perfectly, no issues, worked with my asus tuf a14 2024 laptop, have been using it for 2 weeks now

works seamlessly, replaced wifi6 with wifi7
