I popped it open to install the RAM and the wireless card is a MediaTek MT7902 on the particular one I purchased. Your mileage may vary. Brand • Model • Rev MediaTek MT7902 Reference Design Interface Mini PCIe 2.1 Connector M.2 (Key E) Form factor M.2 2230 ID:14c3:7902 SS: 14c3:7902 Windows: PCI\VEN_14C3&DEV_7902&SUBSYS_790214C3 FCCID RAS-MT7902 ICID 7542A-MT7902 Chip1 MediaTek MT7902BEN OUI: none specified Antenna Connection MHF4 MIMO status 1x1:1 Wireless Standards IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax 802.11ax up to 574/1201 Mbps 802.11ac up to 433 Mbps 802.11n up to 150/300 Mbps 802.11g up to 54 Mbps 802.11b up to 11 Mbps 802.11a up to 54 Mbps Operating Frequency 2.4 or 5 or 6 GHz
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am not entirely sure about this particular one, but I will say this: I have two Asus X514 machines with different wireless cards and yes, they are pretty slow - but not THAT slow. I have no issue with either the R3 or the R5 going well above 100Mbps (we only have 200Mbps service at our house anyway). My daughter has this machine and I will be installing the RAM this week, so I can take a look at the wireless card and snap a photo. But they're not hard to replace on this model from the looks of it. And I don't think the i3 on this is going to be processing THAT much data anyway. But chances are Asus will skimp on the wireless card, so plan for it. This isn't a powerhouse anyway.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The card is Wi-Fi 6E, so it can reach speeds of up to 5.4 Gbps, But remember, your local signal has to output that kind of speed in order to be received at that speed. Also affecting speed is distance from router, construction in between transmission and reception, other radio signals in the vicinity, etc. I haven 't seen 72Mbps since I upgraded from 4G cellular; if I were you, i would run tests at different sites (home, Starbucks, library) to see if your problem is local rather than device dependent.
