Realtek RTL8852BE-VS WiFi 6 802.11ax - replace with faster M.2 card

[PCAdUK]

so i have a Realtek RTL8852BE-VS WiFi 6 802.11ax PCIe Adapter (m.2) installed on my laptop.

After contacting support, the maximum speed i can achieve is 600mpbs/600mps up/down.

I have 2gbps internet connection, and the above speed won't do.

here's my wifi details:-

SSID: **********hidden****
Protocol: Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)
Security type: WPA3-Personal
Manufacturer: Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Description: Realtek RTL8852BE-VS WiFi 6 802.11ax PCIe Adapter
Driver version: 6001.15.153.0
Network band (channel): 5 GHz (40)
Aggregated link speed (Receive/Transmit): 600/600 (Mbps)

i have tried different AP's.  My iphone 16 pro max connects at 1900mbps.

router is a TP-Link EX820v (AX6000 Dual Band wifi 6)

I'm wanting to upgrade the M.2 card to something with Wifi 7 and bluetooth, but my research only offers intel based cards, which are incompatible with AMD systems.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to upgrade the card because there is only one antenna wire in your notebook and anything better would require two antenna wires.

Also, since your notebook has an AMD processor very few other model cards will work--even if the notebook had two antenna wires.

The only other supported card would be the one listed in the service manual and that would require two antenna wires.
