XPS 8940, Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1650i failure

XPS 8940

XPS 8940

This is the second XPS 8940 motherboard (first one replaced for exact same issue under warranty) where the integrated graphics Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1650i adapter has failed. Tried all sorts of drivers (with assistance from Dell) and still no dice.  Anyone else have a similar issue with the integrated adapter?

@ScoobertSchuman  - Make sure Killer WiFi card is disabled in Device Manager.

BTW: Does Bluetooth on the Killer card still work?  Does your new card also have Bluetooth? If both have working Bluetooth, be sure to disable Bluetooth on the one you won't use (eg, Killer) in Device Manager too.

I see others have added comments, but me, I'd REMOVE the card? It might cause some problems even if disabled. Power draw, interference, don't know, but if it doesn't work, what good is having it (unless you use Bluetooth and that is the only way you have?) in?
