I can 100% confirm that the AX211 only works with Intel 12th gen processors (or perhaps 13th gen also, I don't know). I have tried an Intel branded AND Dell branded AX211 in my Inspiron 7610 with an 11th gen CPU and currently an AX201 with CNVio2 and it will not work. Do not waste your time trying. If you have an AX201 now with a 10th or 11th gen CPU the AX211 will NOT work in your system.
Hello all, I am a little perplexed by this issue. The laptop shipped with a Intel AX201NGW card. I have the latest drivers from Intel and all is well until I decide to upgrade the Wifi card to the Intel AX1675i aka AX211NGW. On the device manager i see 2 issues; 1. The Bluetooth adapter shows a yellow ! with a code 29 error. 2. The AX1675i doesn't show in the device manager but I do get a "Other Devices," "Network Controller" there with a yellow !. For that it is showing code 28. Now code 28 doesnt make sense because I attempted BOTH the Dell version of the Driver and Intel version of the driver. I know the bluetooth and wifi are embedded onto this chip so I understand that they do interconnect and both showing an error are likely related. I have attempted the following: 1. Dell Drivers 2. Intel Drivers 3. Factory reset via Dell Recovery with no backup (OS Reset fresh like out of the box) 4. Factory reset with clean Windows reinstallation. 5. BIOS Update 6. BIOS Load Defaults I cant for the life of me understand why this isn't taking. 201NGW and 211NGW are the same interface expect one allows the 6GHz spectrum to be seen. Anyone with any ideas? Thanks!
