Intel AX200 WiFi 6 AX Bluetooth 5.0 M.2 Adapter

The Intel AX200 is a compact M.2 2230 wireless adapter that brings Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.0 to compatible laptops and small form factor devices. Operating across both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, it supports MU-MIMO and OFDMA technologies that improve performance in congested network environments by allowing the router to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously. With a maximum theoretical link speed of 2.4 Gbps using 160 MHz channel width and 2x2 spatial streams, the AX200 represents a meaningful upgrade over previous-generation 802.11ac cards for users seeking faster file transfers, lower latency, and more consistent connections.

Beyond raw Wi-Fi performance, the integrated Bluetooth 5.0 radio provides improved range and throughput for wireless peripherals, audio devices, and other Bluetooth accessories — all without requiring a separate adapter or USB dongle. The AX200 draws power directly from the M.2 slot, keeping the installation clean and internal. Intel provides regularly updated drivers for Windows 10 and 11, and the Linux community maintains solid support through the iwlwifi driver. For anyone looking to modernize their laptop's wireless capabilities without replacing the entire machine, the AX200 delivers current-generation connectivity in a simple card swap.
