POINWER AX200NGW Wi-Fi 6 card

This POINWER network card uses the Intel AX200NGW chipset to add Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 to compatible systems. It fits an M.2 2230 A/E key slot and connects via PCIe and USB interfaces. The module supports dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operation with 2x2 streams and MU-MIMO. Driver installation is required on Windows 10 64-bit or Linux.

Suits Intel motherboards with unlocked BIOS

This card works in motherboards that have an Intel CPU and an M.2 2230 A/E key slot running Windows 10 64-bit or Linux. It is not for systems with a BIOS whitelist that blocks third-party wireless modules, such as some older Lenovo laptops. It also does not support Windows 7, 8, or 8.1. Buyers needing CNVi interface compatibility should look elsewhere.

Key spec: M.2 2230 A/E key with PCIe and USB

The card requires an M.2 2230 or M.2 1216 slot wired for both PCIe and USB interfaces; it will not function in CNVi-only slots. It uses IPEX 4 antenna connectors for the two spatial streams. Maximum throughput reaches 2402 Mbps at 5 GHz and 574 Mbps at 2.4 GHz when paired with an 802.11ax router using 160 MHz channels.

Questions about this item

Does my laptop need an M.2 2230 A/E key slot to install this AX200NGW card?

Yes, the card uses an NGFF M.2 2230 A/E key connector and requires a compatible motherboard slot; it will not fit an M.2 CNVi slot.

Will this Wi-Fi 6 card work with my existing 802.11ac router?

The AX200NGW is backward compatible with 802.11ac and 802.11n routers, connecting at up to 1733 Mbps on 5 GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz under 802.11ac.

How can I confirm the card is delivering Wi-Fi 6 speeds after installing the Intel drivers?

Connect to a Wi-Fi 6 router using a 160 MHz channel; the link rate should show up to 2402 Mbps on 5 GHz and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, and Bluetooth 5.1 should appear in Device Manager.
