I should probably add this is a Legion S7 15ACH6, 5900HX CPU with a 3050Ti, my mobile game machine handles FFXIV to my liking so it’s fine

I hear Intel 7 killer would be good however the ones I seen online only have the E key

    First make sure the firmware/bios doesn’t have any wifi whitelisting going on.
    Wouldn’t be the first time for Lenovo…

    Intel AX210, if you want WiFi 7 you can go for the BE200/BE202 but it’s quite hard to get.

    As others said Lenovo does whitelist certain WiFi cards. I Rand into that issue when I was trying to upgrade my old one

    Haha upgrade a laptop wifi card…. First time I’ve seen this in 20 years of IT, how odd.

  5. So, why you want to upgrade in the first place? What problem you want to fix, or feature want to use?

    Intel NICs are a “safe” pick for most use cases. But they weren’t exactly bulletproof either.

    Ah hell no, less software better. They’re often the exact same hw with their “normal” NICs anyway, but with additional network shaping software. Unless you’re gaming with the same laptop you’re using as torrent seeding or something you aren’t going to see visible benefit.

    I too want to know what the best wifi card is on the market. Whats the Radeon 7900 xtx equivalent of a wifi card?

  7. elBirdnose

    It’s a wifi card, what’s the point? Do you even have a router that will do faster speeds?

  8. If it’s a wifi 5 card or even 6, then just keep it. Practically speaking you won’t see much benefit upgrading it. I wouldn’t suggest an upgrade unless yours is broken.

    if you upgrade it can cause problems such as
    network auto disconnect
    slow connection bug
    bluetooth connection problems
    instead buy a usb network adapter

  10. I haven’t seen anyone recommend using a USB-based adapter. That may simplify your needs without requiring you to flash special firmware to gain functionality.

    Some offer larger antennas as well which could be useful if signal is spotty.

    thats already a wifi 6 module lol, even if it is realtek. u dont really need the upgrade unless ur constantly torrenting GB/s and even then only ethernet will perform better
