Z490M-ITX/ac - WiFi upgrade

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello guys, 

I've made terrible mistake. I bought Asrock Z490M-ITX/ac. A lot of dissapiontments (including locked BCLK for NON-K CPU, wtf? on other asrock Z490 mobos its unlocked). 

However, regarding WiFi M.2 card... It's extremely crappy. 433 mbps in 2020/21... no comment. I want to upgrade it to Intel AX201 with 2,4 gpbs. 

However, AX201 does not work. M.2 Key fits perfectly, but wifi adapter is not recognized. I think it is connected with   CNVio2 standard (Intel claims, that it should work on ANY Z490, so no idea what Asrock have screwed...).

Next idea is to use older AX200. It utilises older standard M.2 CNVio 1, so i presume it should work. Anyone tried it? Any other "asrock" traps here? :( 

Regards,
