WiFi 6E AX210 PCI-E WiFi Network Card

I bought this for both the Bluetooth and WiFi qualities. I installed it when it arrived the same day. The Bluetooth part works great, the WiFi isn’t working. I looked at the specs prior to buying and it seemed perfect. It was installed in a Dell Optiplex 7060 mini tower (Windows 11 Pro installed). Tomorrow 12/9/25, I’ll look online to see if it requires additional software or hardware to go with it. At least for now, I’ve got rid of the Bluetooth dongle. The computer came installed with a Bluetooth dongle and a WiFi dongle installed.

Few things that I have to mention first. Instruction manual or box does not mention that is a FV-AXE3000R. If you are like me, and who were recently hard-wired, but needed to purchase this for the Wifi capability for your rig, because your internet now is wireless only instead of wired, you'll need another device to download the drivers from their website first, and unpack them to a spare USB drive to install. CD readers, let alone a MINI CD, have limited use these days. I'm not even sure where my external CD reader even is anymore if I still have it, or even if Mini CD is even supported on it. I can't ask Fenvi to send out a USB drive with their product, but there should be another option to be able to plug and play if someone is in the same situation as I am, or instruction to download from another device to install first in the manual/listing. Functions as it should. No issue with usage after drivers were installed with either WiFi or Bluetooth. Wireless connection with fixed antennae is limited based on the speed tests. May need to order some SMA antennas mounted to a base like another version that is sold with them, to get closer to the router and away from any obstruction (although WiFi 6 shouldn't be that affected by that.. Fixed antennae don't work well for me, but that's my fault for thinking they would. Easy enough fix for that. Overall, no issues since install. Install was easy like any other PCI card. Recommendation: Check your available headers for USB power before purchase. I had to order a USB header hub that splits 4 into 1, to be able to power a few of the PCI devices that require it, since my motherboard only has 2 USB headers. No issues so far with a few days of use. Will revisit if there are any issues down the road!

Extended my internet range and increased my connection from 5mb/s download to 80 mb/s. Great product.

This adapter sped up my WIFI connection by a lot, however to use the Bluetooth feature it would require me to disconnect my front USB ports from the motherboard as it requires you to hook it up to that plug on the motherboard. I do not have meany usb ports on the rear and I know I could buy a USB hub to give me more but it would have been nice to know that up front. Other than that rock solid and works well with my Linux Open SUSE leap OS.

There are some sort of compatibility issues with older computers. I have 2 win 10 pc's, one a i7-860 from 2009, and a Phenom X6 from 2010. I could not get the i7 pc to even find this device on the PCIe. The Bluetooth would work but never saw any Wi-Fi device, did everything under the sun, updated Bios, tried every different PCIe slot, intel support assistant device finder, and nothing. Put in the AMD PC and instantly found it, immediately installed drivers automatically, and was up and running no problem. I suspect it is a CNVi Wi-Fi card but I do not know for certain. It does not seem to have a m.2 card attached under the heatsink but AX210 is not listed as CNVi. Could just be my PC. It's ok for me, I need Wi-Fi 6 for one PC in a location with no ethernet and it doesn't matter which one so its fine but be aware. Aside from all that the, Wi-Fi signal is strong and able to connect before even attaching the antennas.

I had bought this specific wifi card to install in a newly built PC for my nephew. The card is plug and play, requiring no drivers or extra software to run. When it works, it works flawlessly, with no issues on speed, connection strength, or bandwidth. I bought this card back in December of 2024, which worked fine up until last month, making it so that my nephew only got 8 months of usage out of the card. Since the order was placed over several months ago, I opted to try and reach out to the manufacturer to see if there were any possible chance of being able to utilize a manufacturer's warranty to either repair or replace the card, yet I never heard back from anyone. With that being said, yes this card is inexpensive, but for what its worth, its not worth the risk of you being without wifi capabilities and especially with a brand that will not respond to your emails.

I had issues with my PC being terribly slow on WiFi. I looked around for a solution and was recommended this by a friend. It was super easy to install into my motherboard, and vastly improved my WiFi connection speed and strength. If you have a similar issue with your PC, give this fella a try!

Works great!!!
