Intel AX201 Wi-Fi 6 M.2 CNVio2 Green & White

Intel AX201 CNVio2 adapter

The Intel AX201 is an M.2 CNVio2 wireless adapter that adds Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 to compatible laptops or small-form-factor desktops. It uses the CNVio2 interface, so the host must expose that specific connection on its M.2 keyed slot. The green-and-white card targets builders upgrading or repairing systems with CNVio2 support.

Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 capacity

Wi-Fi 6 delivers higher throughput and lower latency in dense environments, while Bluetooth 5.2 handles peripherals and audio devices. MU-MIMO and CRF features improve multi-user efficiency and coexistence. Performance scales with the host antenna implementation; the adapter itself has no independent radio chains beyond the CNVio2 link.

CNVio2 interface requirement

The single specification that decides fitment is the CNVio2 M.2 interface — only platforms with a CNVio2-wired M.2 slot can use this card. Systems limited to PCIe or USB wireless interfaces cannot accept it. Buyers must verify their motherboard or laptop documentation for CNVio2 support before purchase.
