I have the 7840U 13” Framework laptop with MT7922. I’ve had months of intermittent wifi issues that troubleshooting has failed, I’d like to just replace the card. I often see the Intel AX210 recommended, but I’m having trouble determining whether that card is compatible with my mainboard. (Is the 7840U part of the 7040 series?) Appreciate any recommendations.
Thanks
However, if you have a vPro version laying around (or it’s all you can find on the secondhand market) it will work perfectly fine.
As long as the replacement card is compatible it will work. I have replaced wifi cards in so many systems that I have over the years that I have a container full of older cards. AMD bundles a Mediatek wifi chips with their hardware. You don’t have to look far to find issues although most of the issues are supposed to be resolved at this point. I currently use AX210/AX211 cards in all my systems as they work very well and have great support on Linux.
FWIW, while this may be a generally helpful tautology it doesn’t really answer the poster’s original question: “which models are compatible?”.
The part and documentation is provided from Framework! Sorry I don’t want to go into the history of internal wireless cards! If you want to provide it feel free to contribute!
The Intel BE200 / 202 is NOT compatible with the AMD mainboard.
