Working great.
Both the wifi and Bluetooth are working great, the mini CD that came with the card had the correct drivers for Windows 11 and installed with no issues at all. Network and internet speeds are fast as expected, and the Bluetooth connection is working great for wireless game controllers, no lag at all.

Works great
Works perfectly with my old i7-7700K CPU and Z170x motherboard. Win11 installed a working set of drivers and I downloaded updated drivers from Intel’s support site. Fedora Linux 41 also auto installs a working set of drivers.

Extremely easy to install
I've had this network adapter for a couple of days now and I couldn't be happier with its performance.The package came with the 3" driver disc and I installed the driver prior to installation. I highly recommend doing this step before you physically install the card. Once installed and you power on your PC it will load the driver automatically with no interaction on your part.Installation of the card was a little tricky for me because of the case configuration, but I eventually got everything hooked up; including the BT connection.I recently upgraded my internet from 300 Gbps to 1,200 Gbps and upgraded my router to the Netgear RAX120. For those that will ask, I am using the Netgear CM1200 modem. Anyone who has done these sort of upgrades are more than familiar with Ookla speed tests; I've probably done well over 100 since my internet upgrade. Prior to installing this card (previous card was capable up to a/c) I tested between 200 and 300 Mbps, which is not bad, but when you pay for 1,200 Mbps you expect numbers closer to that max. After installation, I was testing consistently between 700 and 800 Mbps. These numbers are more than acceptable considering I am upstairs and my router is downstairs (I'm practically directly above it).I cannot speak to its longevity since I have only had it a couple of days, but so far I am very pleased with this purchase. If that should change, I will update my review.

Doesn't work in HP Tower i7 motherboards
Purchased 2 years ago for a Dell Optiplex where it worked fine. Moved to an HP Tower (i7 9700) and this adapter did NOT work in the HP. Not even detected in an X1 slot. Detected in an x16 slot but didn't work. I had to spend more to buy one that did work in the HP. Being Intel AX200 based it should work everywhere!

Easy installation, decent signal strength
Easy to install into a desktop computer and has adequate range to be in another room and still gets a decent signal.

Really a breeze to install.....half the price of competition!
I did what a few reviewers said and downloaded the Intel AX200 drivers from my motherboards website. Luckily Asus has the updated drivers.Only issue so far is that my wireless router is on the other side of my home and the signal is weak. My router is a 802.11ac. I am waiting for a 802.11ax wireless router to arrive to hopefully fix that. Was hoping the Fenvi would be all I needed...Will move the new wireless router and modem to a more central location and hopefully will be good to go. Can't knock the Fenvi AX 200 for my issues.Was a breeze to install and setup with pre downloaded drivers. Windows 10 64bit installed the Bluetooth drivers automatically.So to be clear:1. Find and install Wifi Intel X200 chipset drivers.2. Restart3. Install Fenvi X200 into PCIeX1 slot.4. Restart5. Bluetooth drivers should install automatically.6. Should be good to go...Update: My new wireless 802.11ax router is installed in a more central location in my home. The Fenvi X200 set to 802.11ax I am getting near direct ethernet cable speeds.

Not Ready for Prime Time
I installed this card in an Intel i7-7700k system. It went in easily. The package includes a small cord for use with an internal BlueTooth antenna. I wasn't using that feature, and did not install the cord.Unlike other reviewers, I had no trouble booting the system after installation.For testing a used three different brands of access points, including an Arvig-supplied router, an aging Orbi RBK853, and a new Deco BE1600. Only the Deco supports WiFi 7.* Windows 10 *I did not use the enclosed CD, but used the Windows driver provided by Windows Update. It seemed to work fine. About 6 feet away from my Deco access point, at 5 GHz, I saw extremely consistent performance about 600 Mbps in either direction. Placing the antenna 2 feet away from the access point, perormance increased to about 1.1 Gbps. The Orbi was consistent at about 300 Mbps. The Arvig was about 20 feet away and transfer varied from about 300-500 Mbps.Windows could not see the 6 GHz channel at all, even when placed 2 feet away from the Deco.Summary. My tests were very limited, because I didn't want to drag a desktop and monitor around the house to check distance. However I conclude that if you don't plan to use 6 GHz, this is a perfectly acceptable card on Windows. It's my uinderstanding that power levels are lower on 6 GHz, so that could be the problem. I'm confused by the details of when, where, and how higher power can be used. It's unclear to me if performance will improve further as WiFi 7 becomes mainstream.* Ubuntu 22.04 *Ubuntu immediately worked with the card, no driver necessary. Using WiFi 6, performance was similar to that on Windows. However Ubuntu did see a very weak 6 GHz channel. At 6 Ghz and 6 feet away, I saw performance at about 800 MHz, improving to 1.5 Gbps at 2 feet.I then updated Ubuntu, and started having trouble, which I blame on the update. After the update, I started to see a lockup that lasted about 30 seconds when I tried switching from 6 Hz to one of the 5 GHz access points. As a result, I could not switch to another AP, and I had to give up testing on Ubuntu.* Summary *As of this date 2024/05/16, it is probably too early to do a meaningful review of WiFi 7 equipment. This card works about as well as you can reasonably expect, except for the 6 MHz band. The problems there could be in the Deco, the card, the antenna, or the drivers.If you are looking for adventure, try this card. Otherwise you probably want to wait until the major laptop vendors have been shipping WiFi 7 for about a year. That should be enough to better reviews on the WiFi 7 tech, and the best equipment compatibility matches.
