For the most part, upgrading a PC or a laptop is all pretty much just as simple. Only certain parts fit into certain slots. So, basically if you graduated pre-school and know your shapes and sizes, then it's super simple to do.

My mother has one from 2019 that just has N. I got her an AX200 and a second antenna since her laptop just had one. On my laptop I just ran it to an unused part of the case and taped the excess cable down once I got it connected. It is nice that I was able to do that because I don't want to mess with the display bezel or anything like that. WiFi upgrades should be easy and not a complicated thing that calls for total disassembly of the computer. I just don't like messing with the display at all because it is very easy to permanently damage something. It can also be easy to forget how to put that mess back together.

You deserved more sub with your hard work! Good luck and keep it up!

I have just bought myself the Thinkpad X1 YOGA 3rd GEN i7 8th gen. Second hand in 2022. I would like to upgrade my WiFi Card to WiFi 6. What can you recommend if its possible. Thanks in advance.

I have Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 802.11b|g|n WiFi Adapter on my HP ENVY 15 i7 5th gen machine. It doesn't even have Bluetooth. I want to change it. How can I decided which card will work for my machine or should I just buy this Intel Ax Wifi card?

I'm running a 9560NGW on a fairly old laptop. I'm nervous about trying an upgrade for something that is working fine as is. I got my first WiFi 6 router and my phone and laptop are both running lightning fast. My phone has Wifi6 abilities but I'm curious of the improvement a Wifi6 or 6e card would be. Is there any software updates I need to make sure I have first or any particular motherboards that won't take the 6 or 6e?

how about lenovo g40? is it supported to wifi 6? thank u

kewl video; where can I find a WIFI 6 or 6e for Lenovo ideapad 3 14 ADA05 machine?

Pleasr do a detailed video on attachimg the antenna wires without crushing the coaxial connectors. Microscopic closeups please.

Can you change from rz608 to intel ax200?

Some older laptops may have a larger antenna jack on their WiFi card. If it is a mini PCI express (not to be confused for m.2) it might have a different size connector. It may LOOK similar but the antennas for newer WiFi cards are unlikely to fit them.

@drewdegeer4432

they are two different sizes and you can find adapter wires to go back to Mini Pci cards from the new cards. Ipex is the old standard, MHF4 is the smaller newer standard. amazon has adapter cards for older laptops that require this.

how old are we talking about? is 2017 or 2018 part of this?

Should I disconnect the battery before changing the card ?

Need to change mine. So i just need a chip similar in aspect of my old one? Or do i also need to check if there are hardware limitations with old original components like the antenna themselves? Also my screw is damaged, can i place any screw of the same size i want or should i seek for an antistatic one (if exists)? Dunno if those used for hardware components are regular ones or they have some properties that i ignore.

I don't think you would have to worry about the antennas. You would just need to make sure you have to antennas. Some have 1, 2 or 3. The screw should be a standard laptop screw and shouldn't be an issue. I would just look up the chip for compatibility with the motherboard. Some are not upgradable. In either case, I would buy it from somewhere I can return it just in case there are any issues.

Thanks for the comment. So you need to check the model number to see what the potential upgrade you can do. www.crucial.com/store/systemscanner. Once you see how much upgdade is possible then look for parts. I would also note, that you might want to go to an ssd drive gen 4 as they are backwards compatible with gen3 so you can use it in the future once you retire the computer.

From the Intel website "The connector interface of the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 is PCIe and there is no need for a specific processor for general use. Compatibility depends on the computer manufacturer's design since most likely the limitation could be on the motherboard's side. The motherboard, BIOS, and the M.2 port need to be compatible with the Wireless Adapter. For instance, the motherboard will need a M.2 Key A or Key E socket to use the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200."

Great video. On thing, my Mini-PC has black goop (glue?) over the 2 antenna connections, to hold them down I guess. How do I remove it? Does it just melt with a soldering iron? Do I just pull? I have not seen this addressed on any of the Wi-Fi Install videos.
