WiFi 6E Half Mini PCI-E WiFi Network Card 802.11AX AC MPE-AXE3000H 2.4GHz 5GHz 6GHz 5400Mbps Wireless Card BT5.2 MU-MIMO Mini PCIe Wi-Fi 6E Adapter OFDMA vPro for Windows 10/11 PC Laptops

I was hesitant to buy a new WiFi card for my now 11 year old HP laptop, due to research on HP forums. Some people claimed(even this listing) that I would have to rewrite my BIOS because they whitelist WiFi cards. I pulled the trigger on this and it worked great!I have an older laptop (HP 15-n229nr) and when I updated to Windows 10, I completely lost the ability to use Bluetooth. I also could not stream 1080p on YouTube even with an Asus router and 1GB internet. My original card was a WiFi 4 Ralink RT-3290 with Bluetooth built in.I carefully swapped the card and booted up the laptop. The laptop didn’t recognize the card, so I had to plug into my router and download the drivers. It would be best to download the drivers beforehand, but this way wasn’t hard either. If you Google “Intel WiFi 6E AX211 driver” you’ll see a link to Intel’s website. You can download the Bluetooth and Wireless WiFi drivers for your application. There’s another review linking to some Chinese product website, but I find it best to get the drivers directly from Intel. As of typing this review, the drivers were updated April 29, 2025.After the drivers downloaded, I connected to the internet over WiFi. My streaming speed vastly improved, and now I have functioning Bluetooth again. I highly recommend this WiFi card!

Worked on old dell 17 Inspiron 7737. You will need to follow a youtube on how to take apart the laptop. And Like someone else mentioned I needed to swap the wire locations from old card to new. You can see the black word wLAN is now swapped. Also it is wise to already download the drivers needed, windows did not recognize it. I used driver's from the support page of fenvi.com model mpe-axe3000h

I put this in my aging Dell Latitude e6430 to see if I could modernize the Wifi. WOW! The WiFi is sooo much faster now! I wish I had upgraded the card sooner. When you install the card, only hook up the black and white antenna wires, tuck the gray wire somewhere out of the way. I didn’t have to install any drivers, just waited a few minutes for Windows to recognize the card.

Got this to upgrade from the OEM wifi card on my libre'd T400, p9700, 8gb RAM. Easy enough to install, but I couldn't get it to work at all on ElementaryOS, even with correct drivers. Turns out it needs 5.12+ Linux kernel for plug-n-play. (I now use Arch btw).Other than that didn't have too many issues, but wasn't getting much better speed than the OEM card. I found a fine tuning tips blog for Linux mint on older machines that suggested some changes to the wifi chipset options. I went from ~90Mbps to now getting 150-200Mbps consistently."Driver iwlwifi: toggle some options2.4. When you have an Intel WiFi chipset which is not too ancient, it runs on the iwlwifi driver (old Intel chipsets might use the iwlegacy driver or the ipw200 driver). In some cases the iwlwifi driver performs better when certain options are toggled.You can achieve that as follows:First check whether your WiFi chipset actually runs on the iwlwifi driver:a. Launch a terminal window.(You can launch a terminal window like this: *Click*)b. Use copy/paste to transfer this line into the terminal:lsmod | grep iwlwifiPress Enter.Does the terminal output contain the word iwlwifi (in red letters)? If so, proceed with the next step.c. Copy/paste the following blue command line into the terminal (this is one long line, don't chop it up!):echo "options iwlwifi bt_coex_active=0 swcrypto=1 11n_disable=8" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi-3options.confPress Enter. Type your password when prompted. In Ubuntu this remains entirely invisible, not even dots will show when you type it, that's normal. Press Enter again.Hereby you achieve three things:- With bt_coex_active=0 you disable the Bluetooth feature of the WiFi chipset, which sometimes interferes;- With swcrypto=1 you shift the signal encryption from the hardware (WiFi chipset) to the software, thus taking some load off the WiFi chipset;- With 11n_disable=8 you enable antenna aggregation (Tx AMPDU). Don't be confused because of the option name 11n_disable: when its value is set to 8 it does not disable anything, but enables transmission antenna aggregation (Tx AMPDU).d. Reboot your computer.e. No improvement? Then undo this hack by removing the file that contains the toggled options, with this terminal command:sudo rm -v /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi-3options.confThen reboot your computer, and all should be as it was before."

Do not purchase this FAKE card. The card was tested under new full Windows 10 Pro 22H2 install with updates dated 1/4/2025 19045.5247 & Full fresh install of Windows 11 Pro 23H2 with correct updates dated 1/20/2024. Both operating systems would load default drivers for an Intel AC-7260. Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (Intel® DSA) reports the correct drivers installed as AC-7260. Removing all device drivers, turning off NIC, deleting from device manager and rebooting with device OFF to force the Intel® Wireless Wi-Fi Drivers for Windows® 10 and Windows 11*12/17/2024 to install results in device manager show "This device cannot start (Code 10)" after the NIC is reenabled. Windows 11 device manager show this device as PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_08B1&SUBSYS_50708086&REV_CB (Intel AC-7260). On one side of the packaging it shows the device as supporing AC on the other AX.

For all of the people that are replacing the old wireless card in their laptops for this faster card it's easy to get this new card up and running! I read the comments about the card not coming with drivers and having to search the web for them. It's not that hard at all! Just Google "Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (Intel® DSA)" Then install the Intel DSA software. Next will probably be the hardest part, after you have the new card installed in your laptop you need to connect your laptop via a network cable to the internet. Next open the Intel DSA software and run it. It will find the bluetooth and network drivers. Tell it to install them and enjoy! Super easy!
