Intel WiFi 7 adapter

It will work.  here is a reference article https://dongknows.com/wi-fi-7-upgrade-on-a-windows-computer/

it has same E key as stock wifi card of 8940 Genuine ND6M1 Dell Intel Killer 1650i Wireless WiFi Bluetooth Card Ax201ngw Oem.

Will this work in my XPS 8940?

WiFi 7 Wireless Card Intel BE200 NGW, Bluetooth 5.4, 5800Mbps M.2/NGFF Network Support Windows 10/11 (64bit), Linux, Not support AMD. Ideal for WiFi7/WiFi6E/WiFi6/WiFi5 Router

And the ANSWER is YES and NO!!!

I got a Deco TP-Link BE65 WiFi 7 router... and that same M.2 adapter. Took out of the 8940 the Intel AX1650i M.2 adapter. Easy replacement.

However, Intel's Driver and Support Assistant DID NOT see the adapter. But I was getting the 6Ghz SSID 1.14Ghz from my ISP's 1Gbp service down.

Worse, if I connected to the MLO network, only a 5Ghz band was reported.

However, another user who is on the MS InSider Canary build WITH the MS's 'future release' WiFi 7 OS does see correct MLO data in setting.

This is what MS W11 Home (latest version at this time without WiFi 7 support) sees now on the MLO SSID:

Note: I complained on Intel's forum about it not being seen. Other did too, and was told IF it was NOT installed by your PC vendor, there is NO support for the Adapter.

I would go ahead with it, once MS releases the full Wifi7 support you can use it, but also before. Even if you do not have a Wifi 7 router.

Amazon has another Intel M.2 Wifi 7 adapter, that is Killer type... that might be good as well to get.

It works fine with Wifi 6.
