Pretendo comprar esse adaptador, podem me informar se estou fazendo correto?
Tenho um alienware aurora 16 que veio com um realtek wifi7 e tinha vĂĄrios problemas de conexĂŁo e velocidade. Fiz o "downgrade" para um ax210 e estĂĄ funcionando perfeitamente desde entĂŁo. Na teoria sĂł trocar e no mĂĄximo instalar o driver da intel.
