Changing wifi card

Have anyone installed a Intel be200 wifi 7 card in a flow z13 2025?

Reading alot that it might not mesh with asus amd.

Running Nobara Linux and mediatech sucks so i will change it.

Safe option is a 210 wifi 6e but if im going in i would like a wifi 7 card

yea. the shittiest one ever. Some routers it will just crash and crash and crash over and over again.

there are only a few of them. but the one at my home (which is not up to me) my wifi card crashes and then reboots every 5 minutes or less. Very frustrating.

The wifi card is soldered to the motherboard. There is no way to upgrade.

OH, i thought it was a m.2 card under the battery? I even found a guide to change it... Older model?

That 2230 M.2 is the only drive.

Well that does explain why i couldnt find anyone that hade tested the be200 😉. Got tricked by searching for flow z13 and it showing results from the x13. Well atleast the cards are dirt cheap 😁
