Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E Adapter

The DERAPID RTL8852CE is an M.2 2230 wireless adapter that adds Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 to a laptop. It connects through an NGFF slot and operates across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands with a maximum data rate of 5400 Mbps. The card supports WPA3 security and MU-MIMO for efficient multi-device traffic. It is a new component intended for internal installation.

Laptop Upgrade Suitability

This adapter suits owners of compatible laptops running 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 who want tri-band Wi-Fi and modern Bluetooth in one module. It will not work in devices that only provide CNVIo, CNVio2 or Mini PCI-E slots, so buyers with those interfaces must look elsewhere. The card ships without antennas, so the host device must already have them fitted.

NGFF M.2 2230 Slot Requirement

The single specification that decides compatibility is the presence of a standard NGFF M.2 2230 slot wired for PCIe or USB wireless signalling. If the laptop uses a proprietary CNVIo or CNVio2 keying, or an older Mini PCI-E connector, this adapter cannot be installed. Verify the slot type in the service manual before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 5400 Mbps AX5400 link hold under heavy all-day traffic?

The RTL8852CE chipset supports Wi-Fi 6E tri-band AX5400 with MU-MIMO and ultra-low latency features designed for sustained gaming and streaming loads.

How much heat or fan noise does the M.2 2230 card add during continuous use?

The compact M.2 2230 module has no active cooling; thermal output depends on your laptop's chassis design and airflow around the NGFF slot.

My laptop only has an M.2 Key E CNVi slot — will this adapter fit?

This card requires an M.2 2230 NGFF slot and is explicitly not compatible with CNVi, CNVio2 or Mini PCI-E interfaces.
