W880 Wi-Fi module compatibility

nikoszav — Sat, 07 Feb 2026 23:18:27 GMT

I have an Asus ET500i PC with a W880 chipset, Intel 265 CPU (Arrow Lake-S, 65W), ECC memory and Windows 11 operating system.

Does anyone know up to what level of Intel Wi-Fi module is supported:

Intel AX211 ?

Intel BE201 ?

Intel BE211 ?

800 Series chipsets support CNVio, CNVio2 and CNVio3 devices, so all of these should be supported.

Frankly, I think you should stick with the non-CNVi cards: AX210 or BX200, but that's just me (who has stared at most complaints filed here for many years).

Hope this helps,

Thanks for you reply Scott.

What is your complaint with the CNVioX versions of the modules?

If I go for a BE200 shall I need a separate USB cable for the Bluetooth part?

What's my complaint? I have none myself. I am referring to the many complaints specific to CNVi module usage that I have seen here over the years.
As for the second question, the M.2 Type E connector, even if it includes CNVi support, still has support for USB included.
