Network Adapter Compatibility issue

[joejackt]

In my laptop, currently I'm using RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter as my network controller.

My laptop uses AMD RYZEN 3 5300as it's CPU. Will I be able to use "intel AX210NGW" as my network controller ?  Is there any issue other than the number of antenna? does this network adapter support my CPU. Can I use this if I'm not using bluetooth? I have compatibility issues with realtek adapters on some special scenarios. That's why I'm changing.

Hi:

You have two problems with what you want to do...

The big one is the Intel AX210 won't work in your notebook.

Another major problem is this...you wouldn't be able to install any Wi-Fi 6 card unless you completely disassembled the notebook including the display panel to properly run the second antenna wire needed for a Wi-Fi 6 card to work properly.

The antenna kit to order can be found in chapter 3 of the service manual.

This card should work if you want to go through all the complications I wrote about above to install it.
