Intel AX210 update problem, the WiFi radio does not turn on.

[rocas]

Good morning guys, looking at a NBR thread of SSJ92,

I purchased this AX210.https://www.ebay.ch/itm/174539670808

Now the drivers I see them installed and the Bluetooth works well, I tried with Xbox Elite 2 controller.

The problem is in wireless.

In settings, see photo, I find the wifi always off,

From active switch settings, wifi I see it turned on,

I leave settings, wifi returns back off.

Thank you! of your advice.

There should be a button a the top right, right above the keyboard with a wifi icon that toggles wifi on and off for the computer. You might want to try turning it off and on there, and/or making sure it's enabled via that button. Good luck.

Dovrebbe esserci un pulsante in alto a destra, proprio sopra la tastiera con un'icona wifi che attiva e disattiva il wifi per il computer. Potresti provare a spegnerlo e riaccenderlo e/o assicurarti che sia abilitato tramite quel pulsante. Buona fortuna.

 

Thanks for your answer,

I tried but it doesn't work,

Change to plane mode. As a router I have an ASUS RT-AC66U.

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with m.2 wifi cards in legacy machines. Good luck, and I hope you find someone who can be of more help.

Then it doesn't work in the slot where DMC / SIBEAM is installed,

See this video ssj92 .

I tried to insert the card into the Half Mini PCIe slot, (holding the diagonal card since we don't have SPACE).

And it works perfectly.

In the search errors he tells me to turn on the wifi.

In BIOS, wireless, DMC and Bluetooth are enabled.

Maybe something escapes me to activate in the BIOS? ideas?

The only thing different from the video, I removed the Killer 1103 card.

Guys I managed to solve.

After replacing the WiFi module in the Full Height Mini PCIe slot,

The WiFi radio remains off.

I show you as I did, so as to help other people.

With Intel AX210 card you need to cover the following PINs,

see photo.

Brilliant!

For the future I highly recommend people get the updated mini pcie card format instead:
