Review on Intel Network AX200 NGWG NV AX2002230 Retail by Jeremy Byard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great, very fast on 5 gigabytes, same speed as the old one on 2.4. Driver issue (see below)

Purchased to replace a less powerful card in an HP Z3 laptop. Once I figured out where it was (it was under the M.2 boot disk) the swap was quick. Be careful when disconnecting and reconnecting tiny wireless antenna connections. Warning: It comes without drivers, and at least on Windows 10, the drivers are not automatically installed in the Catch-22 scenario: you don't have an internet connection. Download the necessary drivers to connect to the Internet. In my case I just plugged in the cable from my router and told it in device manager to find the driver and it did. The bottom line is that if you only have wireless connections, you have a plan for how you're going to install drivers. . Perhaps find and download them from Intel's website, put them on a flash drive before installing, and then install the drivers from the flash drive. won't go there - you have to log in everywhere when you first use it.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Hard to tell
