Try to change wifi adapter to AX210. Got BSOD

Hello,

I have Vivobook x1505va with Mediatek7902 card.

Bought Intel ax210, installed, turn on PC and I got BSOD. Always PC restarting. So shut down and place back Mediatek and everything ok.

So conclusion I cant install AX210?

Computer's BIOS is newest. I read so many articles on that people success using AX210 even in older PC. I cant.

I contacted ASUS with question does my PC supported CNVio protocols, They answered we dont know

Now I'm using Mediatek 7902. This card I know dont have CNVio (only Intel), so I dont know If my moterboard support this protocol. If it supported, my Mediatek 7902 also should not work, correct? Also I know AX210 not using CNVio so this card should work but not.

Please help.

If the laptop came with a MediaTek card installed, then there is no support for CNVio. If you plug in an AX210 (which is a non-CNVio card) and it doesn't work, there are two possibilities to consider.

  1. You purchased a bad AX210 card; return it and get it replaced.
  2. The laptop's BIOS implements inclusion/exclusion list(s) and this is preventing the card from being accepted.

Since #1 is the easier thing to try, I would go with that first. I also believe that #2 is unlikely in more-recent laptops.

Hope this helps,
