Asrock pro4/ac B560 wifi module support

Hello, everyone. I would like to ask if anyone has tried upgrading their Wi-Fi card to the Intel AX210? I already reached out to ASRock, and they mentioned that “Intel 500 series motherboards only support up to the AX201, while the AX211 is not supported.” However, the AX210 has better specifications compared to the AX201. Has anyone successfully upgraded to the AX210 despite this limitation?

Hi Drnkrng,

 

Installation or use of Intel® Wireless Adapters is subject to country-specific legal regulations. Some countries require the Intel® Wireless Adapters to be certified with the antenna that is intended to be used together in the system, while some countries require the Intel® Wireless Adapter to be certified at the full system level. For example, in the US, the official rules governing the use of antennas with certified modules is covered under rule parts 15.203, 15.247 and 15.407. These can be accessed and/or downloaded at the FCC site.

 

If the manufacturer doesn't have the necessary approvals, the party installing the device is responsible for approvals. Installing adapters in an unauthorized system may be illegal. The end user is not authorized to install the Intel® Wireless Adapters (except the retail products below). Only the manufacturer or its authorized representative can install the adapters.

I'll be closing this case now.
