Wifi card replacement - alfabet - 08 June 19
I'm going to replace the wifi card in my Fujitsu Esprimo Mobile v6515 laptop
I ordered Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200NGW and I need an adapter since the card is in m.2 format and I have a mini pcie slot.
This is not a problem, since there these adapters.
My problem is that maybe I need to replace even the laptop antennas with new ones to be able to take advantage of Wi-Fi 6 and MU-MIMO
Any suggestion?

Agree with harlan, wait till adapters for WiFi 6 cards are released.

Thanks,
According to you, I did wrong purchasing Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200NGW ?
I also found this card on Amazon, Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1650. It's more expensive and according this Italian site it should consume less energy

I don't know, You should check if it will work with the current M.2 adapters... even if there are already in the market some products assuring they support WiFi 6, I guess They are probably using a preliminary draft specification, which will not be the final...
