AX1650x Killer Series WiFi 6 Upgrade | Gaming WiFi Adapter | M.2 WiFi Card for PC | 2.4 Gbps WiFi for PC | Supports Bluetooth 5.2 & Intel, AMD, Windows 10+, Linux

Solid upgrade from the slowly failing one I had. Installed and connected to wifi right away. Couple of notes, the antenna lines are really small and hard to line up, just be prepared for that. Also it would be a good idea to remove your existing Bluetooth devices before swapping it out, otherwise Windows will get stuck, not hard to fix but easy to avoid, wish I had known that beforehand!

Installed it with no problems worked as it should very satisfied!

Easy to install and set up

As far as I can tell, the actual hardware in this module is an industry-standard Intel AX200 to the point that in both Ubuntu and Fedora it shows up as an AX200 using the normal Intel driver (iwlwifi). It should work in pretty much any M.2 WiFi card socket and uses the standard smaller antenna connector for M.2 cards. I installed it in a Dell Latitude E7270 with no issues at all. Performance seems to be the same as AX200 modules I've seen, with real-world throughput around 700Mbps using 5GHz with 80Mhz channels on a WiFi 6 AP and 550 using WiFi 5. Signal strength is good and Bluetooth works just fine. The difference is that in Windows, you get access to the "Killer Intelligence Center", an application which provides a variety of analytical tools and performance-related tweaks. While I don't really have a need to set custom traffic prioritization or disable unnecessary background Windows services automatically when playing a game, I do understand the appeal. I am much more likely to actually use the WiFi channel analyzer and statistics views. There's also a feature which allows load balancing when both the WiFi and a Killer Ethernet card are connected, but I think the benefits of this are marginal; if you have an Ethernet uplink, then that is probably not going to be your limiting factor. Considering the marginal cost increase of the NIC vs. an AX200, if you're in the market for a wireless NIC anyway then the only real question is whether you would use the software. If you wouldn't then you can save a few bucks by getting the regular article, but the software will be a nice add-in for some folks.

This is an excellent choice for a mini PCI-E wireless card. For clarification, this is a standard Intel AX200 Wi-Fi chipset that has the ability to use the Killer network analysis software tools. It is not necessary to install these tools if you don't need or want them. Windows should install a driver automatically, as this is just a very common Intel wireless card. That being said, it is a great choice for anyone from casual users to gamers. If you have a WiFi-6 router at home, you will be able to take advantage of this card the most. This card is capable of receiving a full gigabit or more depending on your connection speed with very low latency. This makes it nearly as fast as a direct Ethernet connection to your router with very similar latency to wired. I have a 400 megabit connection from Xfinity, and I was able to easily max that out and get my full 400 megabits over Wi-Fi with a ping only a few milliseconds slower than a wired connection. This Wi-Fi card should suffice even for online gaming. If anyone is wondering about compatibility, I can confirm it works perfectly in my Lenovo ThinkPad P70 laptop. Overall I would highly recommend this wireless card, the Wi-Fi is fast, and the addition of Bluetooth 5.2 is nice to have.

Nice little WiFi card. NOTE: I installed this in my desktop using $9 external PCI-E adapter (that I purchased separately). So the pictures are of the card fitted in the PCI-E adapter. Works great. What you have to be realistic about: depending on how far you are from your WiFi-6+ router, it may not necessarily deliver you the desired gigabit speeds. Make sure your antennae are good enough, i.e. if you're adding this to laptop of prebuilt desktop (like Dell or HP), then you may not necessarily be utilizing the full potential of this card.. While if you're using a PCI-E adapter, then the absolute best results could be achieved with an external antenna attached to that PCI-E housing adapter. External antenna would have to be purchased separately, of course. Factor all the costs of that. While installing it - I had some weird issue fitting the ANT-1 and ANT-2 cables. They were not exactly fitting nicely on this adapter for some reason.. like, it was a bit hard to fit. But ultimately it worked fine. I am not sure if this was the antenna or the sockets on the WiFi card.. Again, ultimately after tinkering a bit with fitting it - it works fine. Five stars.

In the world of computers and personal electronics time flies by at lighting speed. You can spend a thousand bucks on a desktop or laptop computer and in three or four years it still works fine but it could be better, and nowhere is that more apparent than internet speeds. My computer uses this size card for internet and bluetooth and sure it works fine but my router and internet provider have improved a lot in that period of time. In the time it took, about fifteen minutes, to pop the old card out and insert this one I not only can take advantage of much faster wifi speeds but now I'm compatible with my newest bluetooth enabled devices. What's not to like?

I had a laptop that had a wifi card with regular disconnects and decided to pick up a Wi-Fi card. This card worked and now the laptop now longer has any issues. The installation was smooth once I opened the laptop. One thing to remember is that some companies will whitelist Wi-Fi cards so you have to check first to make sure this card will work with your device. Also, to get the most benefit make sure you have a Wi-Fi 6 router. The speeds were good, but not as good as 6e speeds I have been seeing. I cannot comment on range because I have a smaller 2 story house that tends to get signal all throughout. I do recommend this card versus external ones because it is always nicer to have all your ports available. Remember not all computers will even allow you to get to the Wi-Fi card.

Für meinen ACER Nitro 5 (AN517-41-R0HZ) habe ich das Wlan Modul ausgetauscht und tatsächlich mit den richtigen Einstellungen ist es viel schneller als ich erhofft habe. Die Software ist auch relativ selbsterklärend. Individuell Anpassbar und einfach nur genial. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

Bin sehr zufrieden. Mein WLAN ist sehr stabil und die Geschwindigkeit sehr hoch....

Upgraded from my stock Lenovo Legion card due to lag and high ping. This card was the perfect fix! No more issues, low latency, and super stable speeds. The software is a bonus - lets you manage settings and prioritize programs. Simple to use and highly effective. Highly recommend for gamers!

Bluetooth does not work in Linux Mint or Windows, only seems to work with Ubuntu. Wifi is pretty bad too.
