How to install an Intel Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) kit - and why you might want one

Intel's new Wi-Fi 6 kits are the latest offerings from the company allowing desktop PC users without built-in Wi-Fi in their systems a chance to get on board with the fastest speeds possible. The desktop wireless M.2 2230 kit can support a theoretical maximum of 2.4 Gpbs, roughly three times faster than traditional Wi-Fi 5 tech.

You skipped the only part that's actually hard, getting those antenna cables connected to the card. Literally the most useful thing you could've put in this guide.

[@colinbuckley5320]

YES!

[@benbatz382]

Same, does it matter which way you plug the 2 cables in? Or are they both the same?

[@MrTarmonbarry]

@@benbatz382 No it does not really matter , they both work as antennas , just different colour wires on some . I have an intel NUC and it has a grey and a black wire but it is just two antennas , both go to the plastic lid so they get maximum connection

I think compatibility and Key slots are more confusing.

You omitted the hardest part which is connecting the minutely small wires to the card! I couldn't do it because I don't have robot eyes.

[@charleshines1553]

I did an upgrade on my laptop from an intel 3165 (used in a lot of laptops) to an AX200NGW. It made my internet connection feel a tad snappier really. It also has a more recent Bluetooth spec which is 5.2, that is twice as fast as the 4.2 the 3165 has (or can transfer data between Bluetooth 5.2 devices much faster). If anything for me it is more future proofing than anything really. These are not expensive if you sit down and look for the prices on them. The are priced anywhere from $16 to $25. You may even get it cheaper on sale or from a site with good prices. I would personally never ever pay more than $25 for it since everyone has them cheap. The antenna connectors can be tricky if you don't have good eyesight or you have fat fingers. It takes dexterity and lots of patience to get them seated right. DO not pull the cable that goes into the connector, you will ruin it. That is a coaxial cable too BTW and would be difficult to properly reattach the connector to.

is bluetooth integrated in the ax200 card?

[@dawsonbottoms]

I have this in a pcie adapter and was wondering if having it in the adapter slows the performance?

[@AvgDan]

No, a PCIe x1 slot version 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 supports 2, 4, 8 and 16 gbps respectively, and your motherboard and adapter are likely version 3.0 or higher. The adapter isn't going to add more latency than WiFi in general but you can ping your router to find out the latency. You'll likely find it to be 1ms or less.

I installed this yesterday and now I have a problem: every once in a while my wifi disconnects. I can always reconnect but its so annoying! My wifi modem is wifi 5 802.11ac, is that the problem? Do i need to change my wifi chip to a wifi 5?

[@vatterger]

This shouldn't happen and it has nothing to do with the 802.11 versions that the AX200 supports, since it's fully backwards compatible. It could be your Router/Access Point or a bug in the driver of the AX200. I once had the issue that my Router was overheating because of insufficient airflow. It could also be the Routers settings but that's a big can of worms... You could also try forcing the AX200 to always use 5GHz/802.11ac from the Network-Control-Center -> Adapter-settings -> AX200 -> Properties -> Configure... This avoids protocol switches.

Are you sure you got an M.2 kit and not a standard pcie kit? I don't see why a prebuilt PC distributor would spend extra money on more expensive tech like this when they could save the money for themselves. It is better to make sure so you know what you can remove on your PC and what not to remove.

[@TheStig43and199]

@@RobbbyRay so they're all m.2 because of the type of connector it is however the key ids specifies what each contact point does and the shape of the connector itself. Its hard to describe without a picture so I found this site to help you understand www.delock.de/infothek/M.2/M.2_e.html Scroll down to the section called "what do the m.2 keys mean" there you'll see the physical differences between the different keys.

You can buy the scews for cheap, just search for M.2 screws on amazon. Also it shouldn't matter if the M.2 slot is sideways, just make sure its the one intended for the wifi card

The max speed numbers you quoted are wrong. That's per spatial stream speed and 802.11ac wave 2 could run 8 spatial streams with 2-4 being realistic and common.

Avoid antennas that are at the back of the case. The case may block the signal strengh.

Driver install? I understand Windows 10 doesn't have native support for the AX200. Should drivers be installed before installing the card or after? Or does it matter? I know that I need to have them downloaded before switching out my OEM card on my laptop, which is the horrible Realtek card.

[@jong3303]

kinda depends, but usually whenever you have new hardware installed that wasn't there previously you need some new software to go with it for it to work. So yeah getting the driver(s) for it would be wise. You should be able to do it afterwards. I built a desktop last summer and installed all the othe drivers for my hardware(including the wifi, bluetooth) afterwards (bit hard to install anything beforehand since windows needed to be installed first)

[@potterslove]

@@jong3303 I understand that I need the drivers, just curious if I should install them before I mount the new card or after. The exe files for WiFi and BT are already downloaded. Since there are no native Windows 10 drivers that support this card, I understand it won’t work without the drivers.

Lot's of blathering on for nothing. Takes forever to get to the point then makes a point that's not at all helpful.

Talk less and come to the point

Is there any significant different between the intel kit from the one sold by tp-link or ASUS which uses pci-e x1 slot? because I notice that the latter require an additional connection to the motherboard internal usb 2.0 socket and the Intel one doesnt.

[@cl1ckrr]

in my experience there arent any significant speed or latency differences between pcie wifi and m.2 wifi however, you should definitely do some of your own research before deciding on which form factor you want.

[@AlfaPro1337]

Pretty late but there are two types of PCIE wifi card: 1. Just WIFI only 2. WIFI + Bluetooth Bluetooth takes up a USB connection, thus, that's why you see USB 2.0 header on certain WIFI PCIE card. Most M.2 solution I've seen are WIFI + Bluetooth, though the USB data is via M.2, so no waste of internal USB 2.0 header.

[@krontexpit]

@@AlfaPro1337 I was wondering why USB was needed. That makes more sense, thanks.

[@floorgang420]

@@AlfaPro1337no, that’s bs actually, m2 e slot got usb built in so no header needed.
