Precision 3640 - compatibility of WiFi and Bluetooth module (Intel AX200 vs AX201)
Hi,
acacording with owner's manual the Precision 3640 workstation can work with Intel AX201 card (page 17 od manual).
But I have a big issue to order that card and antennas in my local market.
I found the AX200 but that card have diffrent "System Interface Type" (see. link below)

Maybe someone has tested that AX200 on Precision 3640 and card AX200 working well?.
thanks for support

@AZQ Please press the blue Accept as Solution button below if this post answers your question.
I used a PCI-E M2 Card and an adapter for the adapter and an adapter for the onboard USB cable.
If your model does not have a flex bay port the Bluetooth part will not work.
Board Form Factor
M.2 2230
Wi-Fi(PCIe), BT(USB)

yep. intel boards traditionally use USB BT module, pinout is known, as above.
The Wi-fi antennas traditionally have 50-Ohm reverse sma connector. Very rarely there is a bias. When buying an active antenna assembly, you should insure that the amp dc is blocked... like simply checking with a voltmeter when antenna is on before connecting. afaik, intel does not make retail boards with DC bias at the port (non-blocked passive antennas short circuit such outputs causing malfunction).
Most (from any manufacturer) antennas designed for 2.4GHz will work on any 2.4 board. For 5GHz, obviously you need a correspondingly matched antenna.
