Thanks to the Choice Day Sale you can grab this WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 PCIe adapter for a really low price. While the Fenvi AC1200 + BT 4.0 PCIe adapter is more than enough for most people, this one is more future proof as it offers the new WiFi 6E standard with backwards compatibility.

As for the technical information it uses the Intel AX210 chipset with tri-band support for 2.4GHz (300Mbps), 5GHz (2400Mbps) and 6GHz (2400Mbps), OFDMA and MU-MIMO.

    Sorry dumb question, does this only work for intel CPUs? Or it's just using intel technology

    • Clear on 01/04/2023 - 21:13

      Intel technology. It's fine for Windows 10/11 with an AMD or Intel CPU.

      The Intel AX210 chipset under the heatsink would look like this

      • Munki Kundi on 02/04/2023 - 01:12

        This maybe a totally dumb question but can this Intel AX210 chipset picture that you have shared, be inserted into an M.2 NVME drive enclosure and be used as a portable dongle when connected via a USB C 3.2 gen 1/2 port? This thing looks like a 2230 M.2 drive. Please let me know. Thank you

          No.

          However, you might be able to (with much difficulty) get something working with a Thunderbolt port, which exposes native PCIe lanes. But you're probably better off buying a dongle designed for USB from the start.

          There is no reasonable way to attach a generic PCIe device to USB without Thunderbolt. Those adapters you mention speak UASP on the USB side and NVMe on the PCIe side, and only those two protocols, so they're only good for storage.

            @elusive: It's not what the OP was asking, but you can also get a generic PCIe card for putting a network card module into. This is what I did as it allowed me to buy one of the top of the line intel cards (at the time) and I can swap it out for just the cost of chipset. At the time this was much cheaper than buying a pre-made card with the same chipset on it.

    • RedHab on 02/04/2023 - 12:32

      A good question. The AX210 is normal PCIe and will work with AMD/Arm or Intel.

      The AX211 is the Intel CPU only version.

      Similar to 200/201 for previous gen cards.

    I've been using this. It's quite reliable with my NBN 100 connection but bluetooth seems to have issues where it only appears after driver refresh. so you only can use it after driver install/uninstall.

    Is this one of the adapters that requires an internal adapter for Bluetooth?

    • overcoat on 01/04/2023 - 21:33
      +2

      Yes. The "package" picture shows it includes the USB header cable.

    • OMGJL on 01/04/2023 - 22:33

      every pcie wifi adapter with BT will need to connect via a internal usb header to get bt working.

      why am I so confident about it? because both mini PCIe or M.2 E key (what wifi chip ultimately use) have a pair of USB Tx/Rx signal pins.

      • 2025 on 01/04/2023 - 22:38

        Surely someone somewhere has a usb host chip on the card too?

        • OMGJL on 01/04/2023 - 22:43
          +1

          need to switch the PCIe signal to both wifi chip and a usb controller chip, surely it could be done but it will be no where near this price tag —- not even the "Australia Usual" WiFi6 price which is around $89+

          @Budju moronicly suggested I should develop the technology.
          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/13574317/redir

          But that was after @phunkydude had provided a decent explanation

          It's how products are developed. Off the shelf everything with almost no driver writing is the preferred method and as cheap as possible.
          Not worth the cost for the silicon to multiplex the two signals together onto shared PCIe lanes (the WiFi and the BT are separate pieces of silicon, after all, they're just packaged together), when BT sees absolutely no benefit from PCIe over USB. PCIe multiplexing is expensive.

      This is a PCI adapter, for raspberry pi you would need a USB adapter. Then again the RPI has built-in Wi-Fi so you might not need it at all?

  • Jdrizzle on 01/04/2023 - 22:24

    Perfect, I have a weird problem where my laptop upload tanks when connected to router via ethernet (unless using a VPN, go figure).. but for the kids streaming sometimes I need to use NDI from a hard wired desktop and I can't get them to talk to each other when one is wired and one isn't… So fingers crossed this will fix this dumb problem by keeping it all on wifi.

    • OMGJL on 01/04/2023 - 22:45

      so you have a router that have 2 separate sub net, one for the wired network one for wireless?

    anyone have any comparison idea if this would be better for online gaming compared to an existing ac1300 wifi card?

    • DeToxin on 03/04/2023 - 12:11

      I think if your router supports wifi 6 then you might get slightly better latency. However there are too many other factors to say if it will actually make a difference.

      You're much better off getting a long ethernet cable and running it hard wired, even if it is annoying or messy.

      • selphie on 03/04/2023 - 12:15

        ethernet wiring isn't an option. how about powerline, it should give similar ping as ethernet wiring yes? i'm with a telstra smart modem gen 2 and Fenvi AC 1300 wifi card if that matters.

        • DeToxin on 03/04/2023 - 12:21

          I haven't ever used ethernet over power sorry so I don't know

        • Diji on 04/04/2023 - 17:43

          Ethernet over power has been good in my experience. If you're in an old house I suppose there's a chance that the wiring will result in degraded performance, though.

    • [Deactivated] on 03/04/2023 - 15:31

      Depends on what the Fenvi AC1300 card actually is inside. Open Device Manager and check. If its an Intel 8260/9260, you should be fine with it. If its not, then the AX200 in this card would make a big difference. Well that's assuming you have issues with your existing card anyway.

      • selphie on 03/04/2023 - 20:34

        it's a broadcom, and it's not giving me any problems yet just a tad old I've had the card for almost 6 years. wondering if something newer as this would improvement gaming latency.

        • Nom on 04/04/2023 - 21:10

          The best way to fix WiFi latency is to just use a cable - is there some reason you must connect via Wifi ?

    Review

    Really good wifi and Bluetooth card
    The wifi is good since I leave my pc under the kitchen table and like between 3 layers of walls to the modem.

    On shitty NBN 50 - Average ethernet is like 50-55
    Wifi - Usually 40 - 50 (Would be better if its points to the modem)
    The ping is similar to ethernet but I don't use wifi so can't comment much.

    .
    But the Bluetooth is amazing, like like 4 meters away, and still works. No drops out as of now.

    Plug and play basically
    Just need to go into Update and Security —> Window updates and Check for updates and Done

    For $20 cant complain, will purchase future Fenvi products
    Thanks Clear for the deal

    Thanks @Clear. I had my doubts about this unknown Chinese(?) brand but it worked out better than the Asus Ax3000 $79 I purchased from Amazon. No random disconnects and packet loss thus far.

  • bbqandbargains on 28/04/2023 - 11:04

    My Bluetooth stops working after the computer goes to sleep. Have updated drivers from Intel and also stopped power saving on all USB ports in device manager. Any thoughts?

    • Clear on 28/04/2023 - 11:25

      You mean after you've woken the computer up it still doesn't work? Or it doesn't work while the computer is asleep?

      • bbqandbargains on 28/04/2023 - 11:43

        After the computer wakes back up. Only a reboot will make it work again.
