Upgrading from Intel AC-9560 to Intel WI-FI 6 AX 200 or 201?

[Giovanni95816]

Hello,

I just got a desktop HP EliteDesk 800 G4 and would like to install a WIFI/Bluetooth card. Technically I should use the Intel AC-9560 but I have a WI-FI 6 router and would love to use  Intel WI-FI 6 AX 201 but I ma not sure if this card is compatible with my processor which is an Intel I7-8700. Also I need to install the antenna kit: is the product #910151-00 the correct antenna kit??

Any help is truly appreciated.

Hi, Gianni:

I think it would be a whole lot easier and cheaper to install a desktop wifi conversion kit like this.

Paul,

First of all thank you for your note.

It looks like the price of the combo intel card either 200 or 201 and antenna kit is cheaper that what you suggest.

But regardless can you confirm that the intel 201 is compatible with my processor (I7-8700). I read that the Intel AX 201 is compatible with 10th generation processor, mine is 8th.

You're very welcome.

I cannot confirm that the AX 210 would work.

I suggest you stick with a non-CRF (non CNVi) card like the AX200 or AX 210.
