Want to replace MediaTek MT7921 WLAN card with Intel AX210

I own an ASUS TUF Gaming F15 (FX506LI) equipped with a MediaTek MT7921 WiFi card.

Unfortunately, I've been dealing with persistent issues with the wireless adapter for the past two years, such as frequent disconnections and poor connectivity.

Given the ongoing problems, I'm considering replacing the WiFi card entirely.

Is this upgrade feasible, and if so, what would be the recommended options?

The MediaTek MT7921 is roughly equivalent to the AX200NGW (i.e. an M.2 WiFi 6 module). You can possibly upgrade using an AX210NGW (for WiFi 6e) or a BE200NGW (for WiFi 7), provided that the laptop's BIOS doesn't do something nasty like implement Inclusion/Exclusion lists that would preclude the upgrade (this was regularly done in the far past but not so often lately).

Hope this helps,
