Latitude 9430 2in1, Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz works very poorly Can I replace it?

Hi,

I have this second-hand notebook.

I formated the disk and installed a clean Windows 11 last build of 25H2. It works very well, and fine, except the Wi-Fi. All drivers are the latest versions and everything is in order with DellSupportAssistant, as well as with Windows Update. I also tried the driver directly from Intel, WiFi-24.50.0-Driver64-Win10-Win11, but it makes absolutely no difference.

I have a LAN with 3 Deco M5 mesh antenna and a outdoor antenna in bridge mode connected with ethernet cable to the master.

As I've read in various places, the Intel AX211 card doesn't work properly for many people.
In my case, the worst part is that it consistently connects only to the first mesh node. If I move near another node, or to a location far from the first one, it loses the connection.

Can I replace this WLAN card by an other card, and if, which WLAN card model is compatible with 2.4 and 5GHz, Wi-Fi 6 for Latitude 9430?

Is there another manufacturer besides Intel that would be suitable?
