Just curious if anybody has tried swapping the Qualcomm card for an Intel Ax210 in a 2023 Blade 14 and, if so, what result. I gave it a shot, but the OS only recognized the Bluetooth module, not the Wi-Fi module, even after driver install. Seems an odd outcome to me…

Cannot confirm for Blade 14 (2023); However, I can confirm the Intel AX210 M.2 WIFI and BT work well in the Razer Blade 14 (2022) in Windows 11 and ArchLinux/Manjaro.

Razer Blade 14 2023

System Model    Blade 14 - RZ09-0482
Intel Wifi AX210NGW

Tested both on Windows 11 and Linux Fedora 38.

Only Bluetooth, usb, is recognized.

Wifi, which should be on pci, is not detected at all.

In linux dmesg reports only spurious errors on pci-e.

Hi, has anyone found a solution for this or is razer not playing nice by blocking the use of the hardware?

 

Ironically my razer blade 14 2021 has an Intel ax 210 installed from the factory so I know the card works with AMD & razer.   I assumed the Qualcomm chip would be fine, but wow it's horrendous.   Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Same behavior here with the ax210 and Blade 14 2023. I would expect this from the Intel only ax211 but the ax210 should definitely be compatible. The card does have a different cutout in the PCI interface, but I'm not sure why or if that would matter. Disappointing.

Has anyone found an Intel network adapter that works with the 2023 Razer Blade 14? The stock Qualcomm adapter has been problematic for me with detection and wifi speed problems.

searching and searching and so far no luck.  I suspect it’s something Razer did in the BIOS to prevent the intel cards.  My 2021 Razer 14 (with an AMD Chip) came stock with the AX 210 and it works amazing.  It blows my mind I can’t swap that card into my 2023 14.

 

I’ve never used a wifi card as bad as the qualcomm before.

I am in the same boat. Has anyone found a suitable replacement card for the horrendous qualcom one? The bluetooth on this chip is terrible! I am trying to plug my laptop into my TV and play from my couch, but I literally cant get the controller more than 4 feet from my laptop with out it spazzing out.

I am also having the same issues with the AX210. I need some sort of replacement, because the Qualcomm card is extremely unstable. Every other time I turn on my PC, the bluetooth audio will get rediculously choppy

Sadly I am still in the hunt for a replacement card. I suspect there's something in the bios preventing us from using other compatible cards. The insane part is razer used the ax210 in my 2021 blade 14 (with AMD) so it's possible. 

 

I read of a similar thing that someone was facing with their HP Machine
