Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 Network Adapter M.2 2230 CNVio2
The Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 Network Adapter M.2 2230 CNVio2 is a compact internal wireless card designed for users who want to add tri-band Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity to a compatible Intel-platform laptop or desktop. It solves the problem of being limited to older Wi-Fi standards by unlocking access to the 6 GHz band, with TCP throughput exceeding 2 Gbps and the ultra-low latencies that Wi-Fi 6E enables.
Why this product
Tri-band Wi-Fi including the 6 GHz band
It operates across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz, giving access to the less congested spectrum exclusive to Wi-Fi 6E devices.
TCP throughput exceeding 2 Gbps
Dual-stream 802.11ax delivers improved TCP throughput that surpasses 2 Gbps, well ahead of typical Gigabit connections.
MU-MIMO and OFDMA supported
Both MU-MIMO and OFDMA are enabled, allowing it to serve multiple devices simultaneously with reduced latency in busy wireless environments.
Bluetooth 5.2 built in
The adapter includes Bluetooth 5.2, so it handles both wireless networking and Bluetooth peripherals from a single M.2 slot.
Intel vPro® Technology compatible
It is supported under Intel vPro® Technology, making it a viable choice for managed enterprise deployments.

- EAN5054444509105
- Fits M.2 2230 slots using the CNVio2 interface — the slot type required is M.2 CNVio2, not a standard PCIe M.2 slot.
- Supports Intel vPro® Technology when paired with a compatible Intel vPro platform.
- Also available in M.2 1216 form factor (12 mm × 16 mm × 1.65 mm) for smaller system designs.
- CNVio2 is an Intel-proprietary interface; this adapter requires a motherboard or laptop with an Intel CNVio2-compatible M.2 slot and is not compatible with AMD platforms or generic PCIe M.2 slots.
- The 6 GHz band is exclusive to Wi-Fi 6E routers and access points — connecting to a non-Wi-Fi 6E router will fall back to 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz operation.
Best for
- Upgrading an Intel-platform laptop that has an open or replaceable M.2 CNVio2 slot and currently uses an older Wi-Fi standard.
- Users with a Wi-Fi 6E router who want to take advantage of the 6 GHz band's lower congestion and ultra-low latencies.
- Enterprise IT environments running Intel vPro® managed deployments that need a wireless adapter certified for that ecosystem.
- High-throughput wireless workloads where TCP throughput exceeding 2 Gbps matters, such as large file transfers over a local Wi-Fi 6E network.
Trade-offs
- AMD-platform systems: the CNVio2 interface is Intel-proprietary; it will not function in non-Intel motherboards.
- Standard PCIe M.2 slots: even on Intel platforms, a regular PCIe M.2 slot without CNVio2 support will not work with this adapter.
- Users without a Wi-Fi 6E router: access to the 6 GHz band requires a Wi-Fi 6E access point; without one, the 6 GHz advantage is unavailable.
Intel Wi-Fi 6E (Gig+) Series products support dual-stream Wi-Fi in the 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz bands and include improved TCP throughput - exceeding 2 Gbps - and future Wi-Fi 6 R2 features that maximize the benefits of Wi-Fi 6, including Gigabit speed, ultra-low latencies, and enhanced reliability benefits across new radio frequencies exclusive to Wi-Fi 6E devices.
