XPS15 (9560) compatible with Wifi 6 (Intel AX200)?

The AX200 is the upgrade for cards like the AC 8265, as long as you have the correct form factor... 

The AX201 is a CNVio2 card which would replace an Intel Wireless AC 9560.

@matogar  Haven’t tested it myself, but it should work fine as long as you get the AX200 rather than AX201. I installed an Intel 9260 into an even older XPS 15 9530 and that worked fine, and the system hardware are definitely wouldn’t bottleneck WiFi 6 speeds given that its real-world speeds will likely be around Gigabit at best, and Gigabit Ethernet (wired) has existed in laptops for over 15 years now.

You may want to wait for another hour on ordering anything.  I just looked at a picture of the card and it seems a little strange.  Possibly just the seller messed up the picture.  Those cards have not been available online until recently..

I went to another site and the card looks OK there.  The one on the first site was a little messed up with the antenna connections being on the wrong side of the card and incorrect number of keyways...

Thank all for the feedback.

My Dell 9560 comes with a Killer AC1535.

Looking at the Killer AC1535 pictures on the internet, it looks like the form factor is the same than Intel AX200.

I have been running a Killer Wireless 1650x which is basically the same card as the AX200.  The other day I got an actual transfer rate of 1.4 Gbps with link speeds showing 2402/2402 on the 5 GHz 2x2 network.

Those speeds you mentioned are the ones I am looking for, in order to access my NAS and Internet at the same time. I just had a look at Killer 1650x and looks very sweet. However the price here in Spain is 39€ whilst AX200 is 27€. Any clue if any of them have any special feature that makes it different from the other?

Thanks so much for all the feedback guys!

I got one and replaced a Killer Wireless 1550 card.  The system I have it on doesn't seem to have good antenna placement since the link speed drops off about 30% when I move into the next room.

But it is plenty fast enough.  Now, if I just had 2.5 Gbps Internet access

I don't use my phone for anything where I need a lot of speed but maybe the next version will have faster Wi-Fi access..

Hi All,

I already made my shopping... I bought an Intel AX200 Wifi6 card (160Mhz) for the laptop and also I bought 2 units of Huawei AX3 (Quad Core Wifi 6 160Mhz). And this is so far the result of the tests.

Links speed 2402/2402, but actual speed in transferring data from two sources (internet and a NAS) it reached up to 1.2Gbps in the best case.

Since these router are mesh system, I only have one visible wifi and then whenever I go in my house, the device connects to the closest router.

Unfortunately I realized my Iphone SE 2020 is not 160Mhz, because speed are just about 600Mbps no more than that. I could not find the technical specifications on Apple website though. I guess I must be right.

Regards,

No special settings I know of, I got the drivers from Intel..

If you are testing your internal network, transfer speeds can be effected by type of file being transferred.. and what other devices are using the same network..  You wouldn't normally expect to get the advertised speed and something more than 50% might be considered good..

Any special settings on the wifi card for streaching the speeds?

I just kept everything as default when I installed it.

I am thinking of upgrading to the newer AX210 wifi 6e (full ax with 6GHz) instead of the AX200. I guess it should also work, being the AX211 the incompatible one.

The AX210 should be compatible with your system.  I am using one on an Inspiron 7779.  Be aware the 6GHz capability and the 5.2 Bluetooth have not yet been turned on but may when the Win 10 21H1 update is released.

My system did not come with the CNVio interface as the Intel ac-9560 has but the AX210 should work normally using the PCIe interface.

I have not seen an AX211 mentioned as the AX201 has been.

Hi.

I have a XPS 9530 with a happy AX200 card on it. My notebook is a 4th i7 generation.

The orignal wifi card was useless and I suffered a long time with it thinking that the problem was my router... 

Go ahead and be happy.

Just stumbled upon this in Google. I have the same  model as you (XPS 9560). When you installed your upgraded wifi module, did you use the antennas already on the laptop or did you replace them with the ones that come with the wifi module?
