Alfa Wi‑Fi 6E PCIe Card with Magnetic Antenna – Intel AX210, Bluetooth 5.2, Tri-Band 2.4/5/6 GHz

AIT-AX210-EX is a PCIe WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 card for desktop PCs, built around the Intel AX210NGW module. It supports IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax and operates across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands, giving the adapter access to tri-band wireless connectivity within the supported standards. WiFi data rates reach up to 2.4 Gbps, while features including OFDMA, 1024QAM, MU-MIMO, TPC/DFS, and TWT extend the capabilities available through the Intel WiFi 6E platform. Backward compatibility allows the card to work with earlier supported WiFi generations as well as WiFi 6E networks. By combining WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 on the same Intel-based module, the card provides both wireless networking and Bluetooth connectivity through one desktop expansion solution.

The desktop adapter uses a PCI Express ×1 form factor and can be installed in PCIe ×1, ×4, ×8, or ×16 slots, which broadens compatibility with different desktop motherboard layouts. WiFi communication uses the PCIe ×1 interface, while Bluetooth 5.2 connects through USB 2.0. The Intel module itself uses the M.2/NGFF A+E-key 2230 form factor and is installed on the adapter board by default. Operating system support includes Microsoft Windows 10 and 11 as well as Linux with kernel 5.10 or later, allowing the same hardware platform to be used across the listed desktop software environments without changing the core wireless module.

The AIT-AX210-EX includes a dual RP-SMA female magnetic antenna stand connected through a 2-meter RG-174 RF cable, allowing the supplied antennas to be positioned separately from the desktop PC. Two tri-band dipole omnidirectional antennas are provided, each with 5 dBi gain, so the antenna system can be used across the card’s supported 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands. On the adapter, two RP-SMA female connectors provide the external antenna connection, while the Intel module uses two IPEX4 (MHF4) connectors internally. This arrangement links the compact module to externally positionable antennas through the adapter hardware supplied with the kit.

The package contains the Intel AX210NGW module, the PCIe ×1 to M.2/NGFF A+E-key 2230 adapter board, and two IPEX4 (MHF4) to RP-SMA female pigtail RF cables. A plastic cover for the IPEX4 (MHF4) connectors and a mounting screw for the PCIe adapter board are also included. Bluetooth connectivity is supported by the supplied USB 2.0 cable, while the ARS-AS02T magnetic antenna stand provides the external mounting point for the two dipole antennas. Because the M.2/NGFF module is pre-installed on the adapter board, the principal WiFi module and PCIe carrier are already assembled as part of the supplied set, with the remaining included components supporting antenna placement, Bluetooth connection, and installation in the desktop PC.
