Ubit 11AC1200A PCIe Wireless Card, Up to 1200 Mbit/s, Wireless Dual-Band Gigabit WLAN WiFi Adapter Card, PCIe WiFi Card for Desktop/PC Gaming

Product Information

If you can open up your laptop (it may take a specialized toolkit), there's a good chance you'll be able to spot the small M.2 module currently powering your device's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections. As for antennas, this PCIe adapter has 2 detachable high gain omnidirectional antennas to ensure a stable and reliable connection. The AX200NGW Card is the most common of Intel’s Wi-Fi 6 certified chips. It is so common that it can be found at the core of every other Wi-Fi 6 adapter we reviewed. With that in mind, there isn’t much to say about its performance that hasn’t already been said. Of these options, the AX210 is the most versatile. Still, its 6GHz band is only officially supported in Windows 11. A special software driver is necessary to make it work with Windows 10. That’s also the case with the AX211 and AX411.

Failing that suggestion, you might want to take a look inside. A number of desktop computers use the same little WiFi transceiver cards that are used in laptops (this is a VERY modular industry). If true in your case, it means that you can find it and take a closer look. I would take a picture of the label on that card so that I could magnify it and verify that it is the right radio. It should show AX210, if it is indeed an AX210-based radio. These cards are approx 1-square-inch, so they’re quite small. As a result, with an NGFF-to-PCIe converter card mentioned above, you can, for sure, upgrade the machine to Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E. For (almost) all desktops, you’ll likely need a full adapter card, such as this AX200 (Wi-Fi 6) card and this AX210 (Wi-Fi 6E) card. Both include an Intel AX2xx module and a generic NGFF-to-PCIe adapter. ASUS, known for its plethora of computing equipment, also has some stellar WiFi cards to keep your wireless connection strong and stable. It is similarly known for its top gaming products and this WiFi card fits right into that category.To put it simply, Wi-Fi 6 devices 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands, while Wi-Fi 6E devices additionally work on several 6 GHz bands. You can find more technical information on the differences over at Wi-Fi Alliance.

external antennas with a magnetic base allow adjusting the antenna for better coverage and reception. You can place the antenna on the magnetized base and adjust its position for the best signal reception. You can also attach the individual antennas directly into the PCIe card for a compact setup. Another thing that I am interested in is whether this card can be adapted to the new WiFi6E conventions that are being phased in next year, as the AX200 controller module can be removed and upgraded – something I will certainly look into next year.The first thing that stands out immediately is the m.2 adapter based card that is central to the PCIe card PCB.
