Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal PCIe adapter

In fact, most similar WiFi6 adapters are simple cable adapters for Intel X200 or X201 WiFi6 modules with M.2 PCIe or M.2 CONv interfaces for use in laptops or some modern desktop motherboards (available on some Dell desktops). So nothing fancy, it just has to be a good PCB design (in Altium or similar ECAD), antennas, antenna pigtails, brackets and screws are all available components. 2 brackets are included for installation in a full-height or low-profile case. The holes for the antenna connectors on the brackets match the shape of the connectors themselves (not round), making it easier to swap out the brackets and tighten the nuts. Like most desktop cards, it is very easy to install. Because the PCB is made in LP form factor, it is small and does not block the graphics card fans, since the available PCIe slots are extremely unsuitable for the graphics card in most cases. PCI slots. If you only use it for desktop PCs there might be a reason to buy some other models as this model doesn't have a protective metal shield, although the circuit board itself has a solder line around the perimeter of the cover - a solid connection as this is the Module to protect against electromagnetic interference in the PC case. However, the card works perfectly, so no discounts on stars ;) BUT, this minus becomes a huge plus. You can easily remove the Intel AX200 module from the adapter without solving the headache by unclipping the protective cover with a small Phillips screwdriver and you can put it on any desktop motherboard (as mentioned, some Dell desktops have similar M.2 PCIe or M .2 CONv based WiFi modules or upgrade your laptop, just pay attention to the interface slot of your laptop, if it is M.2 CONv, you need a module that is based on the Intel AX201 module based.Intel AX200 module supports BT via separate USB line,so AX200 WiFi6 based adapters have USB pigtails to connect with MB.By the way,according to Intel specs both AX200 and AX201 have BT 5.1, so don't get confused if the description of some similar boards says BT5.0, in fact it will be 5.1 PS โš ๏ธ If you are planning to upgrade a laptop or desktop computer with built-in Wi-Fi, stell Be sure to download the driver from Intel or equip the computer with a wired or alternative wireless internet connection to automatically download the driver as Microsoft does not recognize it yet. Get Intel AX2 00 or AX201 from Mouser, DigiKey, Element14 etc but +tax+shipping. With Revain Prime you get free shipping plus delivery to a secure locker nearby. ;) plus additional antennas and a riser. ;)
