Hello,
I have AcerSwift Laptop (Pentium Silver N5000 procesor) and default Wi-Fi 5 card AC-9560.
I would like to upgrade wifi to Wi-Fi 6. Please advise me which wifi card to use to support m.2 CNVio interface and newer Wi-Fi 6 standard. Thanks

Hi,
Thanks. AX211 has m.2 CNVio2 interface and unfortunately is not compatibile with AC-9560 (m.2 CNVio)

You are right, and AX211 can't replace AC 9560 adapter. AFIK, Wi-Fi 6 adapter with M.2 CNVio interface doesn't exists.

I would also add that CNVio2 devices themselves are not necessarily interoperable. Here's a summary:
Intel Chipset | Supported CNVi System Interface Type |
Intel 300 series | M.2: CNVio |
Intel 400 series Intel 500 series | M.2: CNVio and CNVio2* *CNVio2 support only for Model Intel AX101, AX201, AX203. |
Intel 600 series Intel 700 series | M.2: CNVio and CNVio2 |
A motherboard implementing CNVio can only support CNVio devices (there's only one, the 9560). A motherboard implementing CNVio2 can only support the CNVio2 devices that are supported with/by the chipset series utilized. That is, the AX211 and AX411 are limited to motherboards providing 600 or 700 Series chipset and implementing CNVio2 interface.
I would also add that I have heard of cases where CNVio implementations have caused problems for non-CNVi devices. In one case (reported by multiple people), POST failed if an AX200 card was plugged in.
Hope this helps,
...S
