Intel 8265AC wifi card

[Heffalump]

I`m looking to replace this card with a better one, is there a more powerful up to date version which will fit the same slot.

Also does anyone know if that pin formation has a particular name or designation.

I`m looking to replace the actual card. I have the Intel driver updater so that keeps the software up to date.

Hi, Heffalump.

Thank you for the update.

I'd like to delve deeper and verify specifics like the precise driver versions, wireless card slots, and any system details. Utilizing the Intel SSU tool will enable us to collect detailed information about your system setup, which could aid in identifying the underlying cause of this issue also, could you please provide your system's wireless card slot?

Furthermore, sharing this article, Regulatory Information Regarding Wireless Hardware Installation or Upgrade. 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.

Looking forward to your response. Have a nice day!

Thanks for the reply I found that an Intel wifi 6 AX200 was a straight replacement and was fully compatible with my new fibre wifi hub
