Compatibility question

[Simon942]

Hi Intel Community

Glad to be here

I am looking for an WIFI 6 or 6E upgrade for my Intel 9260 WIFI card.

My question is if my motherboard would be compatible with the WIFI 6E adapter (AX210)

After a look on the internet I can see it comes in two models?

AX210.NGWG.NV and AX210.NGW

AX210.NGWG.NV doesn't seem to fit. But the AX210.NGW has the same pin layout as the AX200 which I know fits.

I am a little confused because on the Intel product page I can't really seem to find the .NGW

Intel WiFi 6E AX210 Gig Product Specifications

But the .NGW version seems to be available on eBay. I don't know the real pictures of these network cards or if its are some they just puts on their website.

Picture taken from the internet of the one I am seeking (AX200.NGW)

The one I see on the website I am buying from (Danish retailer)

(AX210.NGWG.NV)

I really hope you can answer my questions it would be great

Have a good day.

Best regards

Simon

As I explained in your other conversation, this is an example of a clone of the Intel device. If you don't see the full Intel Sticker, with the Intel name on it (without blurring), it isn't from Intel.

This is a clone (note no Intel):

Hi Scott

Thank you for your reply and glad to also see you on this post

I see what you mean with the pictures but if we focus on the models is the AX210.NGW a true Intel product? Also do you know a Intel WIFI 6E Network card with Bluetooth 5.2 which is compatible with the same socket as the AC9260 NIC?

Best regards

No, the model number from Intel is AX210NGW (i.e., no dot). You can verify this within the Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX210 Product Brief.

The AX210NGW is exactly the card you want to replace the 9260NGW with if your goal is WiFi 6E and BT5.2.
