This was a perfect upgrade for the original wifi card in my Lenovo IdeaCentre 3 071AB7.

I was skeptical of this Wifi card working with my Lenovo laptop since a lot of reviews and forum posts says Lenovo whitelists wireless cards on certain models. What I learned ALSO is that after a certain model/year, Lenovo stopped the whole Whitelist fiasco. My Ideapad 3 15ARH7 comes with Realtek 8825BE(?) and noticed wifi drops periodically. I searched Google and noticed a lot of Realtek Wifi card users were swapping in these Intel AX210 cards. Mine worked, and I'm glad. Be sure to download the Wifi and BT drivers before the transplant. Also, before you remove your old wifi/bt combo card, unpair any peripherals.

Get this card for anyone that you despise. Watch as they struggle, twitch, perspire, and swear mightily all while trying to attach these ridiculous cables from the antennas to the card. SMT antenna connectors should never have been invented. When you align them EXACTLY they will pop on with an incredible satisfying snap, but when pressed at a slight angle or just microns off the mark they will wobble and fall right off.Aside from the horrible connectors that are unfortunately commonplace on these types of cards, the wireless connection so far seems to be stable and much faster than any USB external card I tried previously. My kit had screws for attaching the desktop slot plate, but not for connecting the card to secure it to the motherboard. Fortunately I kept screws from previous builds and had one that did the trick.The box was shipped inside a flimsy plastic mailer baggie with no bubble wrap. No outer box. The packaging for the product inside had been crushed like a melon. Parts were scattered loosely in the mailer baggie leaving me no way to know if it was a genuinely new product or a return that had been reshipped. It came with a driver CD in the package though I ended up downloading a driver from the internet since none of my computers have CD drives.In the end everything seems to work though it was a more painful install than expected and had a lackluster delivery to say the least.

Update:I reset the networks on my laptop through the Windows system settings, and once my system rebooted, I was able to get the speeds I expected from the card.Original review (four stars):I ordered this kit to kill two birds with one stone. I used the external antennas to replace the ones I was using for my desktop computer, and that was a pretty simple swap-out. I used the AX210 Wi-Fi card to replace the AX201 in my laptop. My smartphone regularly records Wi-Fi 6E speeds of over 1050Mbps, and I was only maxing out at around 750Mbps on my laptop's Wi-Fi 6 card. I was hoping that upgrading to the AX210 would give my laptop speeds similar to those on my smartphone.While the card was relatively easy to install, reattaching the antennas is annoying because the connectors are so small and have to be precisely aligned to be snapped into place. I got it done, though, and I was prepared to be impressed by the speed increase. Unfortunately, not only did I not see a speed increase, I haven't come close to the top speed achieved with the previous card; the highest speed I've recorded is around 660Mbps. Don't get me wrong; that is plenty fast for a laptop. However, I'm disappointed that my smartphone's Wi-Fi6E modem achieves much faster speeds than my laptop's Wi-Fi 6E card, and that the newer, more advanced card is not as fast at its highest speed as the old one.

Easy to install. Attaching wires to card is tough. You need good eyesight. I found that twisting cables from side to side helps make the connection using finger pressure only.

Works very well, but difficult to connect the antennas to the card. I had to put the card on the table and connect the antennas and then install it to the computer. It was easy to configure in windows 10.

The only complaint I have is the length of the antenna wires but I can get over it, it's a one size fits all. Not everyone's set up is as close as mine is to the graphics mounting (They are pretty long for my motherboard.)Internet speed hasn't bottle necked for me yet. It supports my ISPs speed at 250-300mbps. Bluetooth on this card was good, no issues with connecting. This card is the Intel AX200 m.2. So far it was worth the price.
