Excellent but can do better
Excellent product, but frankly, supply the aerials and screws with it... It doesn't cost much more. It's annoying to have to order extra.

Works with Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro 16ach6
I own a Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro 16ach6 and it came with the Realtek RTL8852AE as standard. This card is miserable and that's why I wanted to change to an Intel card. Now the WLAN works much better and even the Bluetooth works much faster (noticeable for me because my wireless in-ears connect faster with it). The installation was easy and what's important: it works on this model (not self-evident because of whitelisting by Lenovo). So if you need an upgrade, this is the module for you.
Pro
- Works with the mentioned Lenovo notebook (whitelisting)
- 100x better than the pre-installed Realtek card
Contra
- hopefully no
nice Wi-Fi 6E card
This is a Wi-Fi 6E network adapter with 2.4/5/6 GHz compatibility plus the Bluetooth 5.3 functionality in the M.2 2230 physical form factor.
The difference between AX211 and AX210 is the interface protocol (electrical). The AX210 uses PCI-E for Wi-Fi and USB for Bluetooth, therefore maximizes system compatibility. In contrast, the AX211 uses CNVio2 interface, which allows CPU to control wireless network all functions other than 'signal processing' , 'analog' , and 'RF function' directly.
You will need a core 10th gen CPU or later to have this CNVio2 function.
TL;DR, AX210 is the top choice if you are planning to get a Wi-Fi 6E card for an older or non-intel platforms.Pro
- PCI-E interface
easy upgrade
replaced my intel ac8265 card in a lenovo legion y520 from 2017. it's basically plug-and-play, it worked right away, though the drivers (intel wifi and blutooth) were immediatlely updated through the intlel driver & support assistant that's installed and running on my pc. it seems ax200 (wifi6) and ax210 (wifi6e) are better in terms of compatibility than ax201 and ax211, because the ax2x1 variants "use Intel proprietary interface, and thus can only be used with select Intel chipsets and platforms".
Pro
- ease of upgrade
- price
Contra
- nothing
Best adapter for the moment
Pro
- Better connection and speed as with new routers so with old
- Longer WiFi and Bluetooth range
- Price
super upgrade
I installed the part in my Lenovo Yoga i7 Slim. It had an AX201 installed with Bluetooth 5 and Wifi 6.
Super easy upgrade to Wifi 6E. Even uses the same driver.Pro
- cheap
- fast Wifi 6E
