WiFi Card for XPS 15 9570
2 minutes ago, rzaiser said:Thank you very much, I will have a look around and maybe order it directly from AliExpress, thanks for the hint!
But one thing I just found on reddit still keeps a question mark up: There, a user asks the following: It's unclear whether CNVi is supported on 9570 which is required by module. Does anyone have any concrete information or references about it? My search did not produce any clear results.
Now, CNVi is new to me and I did not find any straight answer if the card is compatible with the XPS15 9570 or not. If you could just tell me, that it is, my question should be solved, as I will look around for a new card and see if that fixes the issues. If not, I will simply return it and put in my old Killer one and thats is it. I'm currently discussing a refund with Dell anyway and sending the laptop back (I have some couple of other issues with the display and sound as well) and maybe I will go for a completely new machine. But if Dell does not accept the refund, I will be stuck with it, so I'm looking for options to at least make it work properly.
Thank you so much moriel5 and 5x5 for responding to my questions.

CNVi is a new protocol that Intel uses, that requires the CPU to support it.
The Intel 9560, 9461, and 9462 use it, the 9260 does not.
The AX201 uses it, the AX200 does not.
I had recommended the AX200 and not the AX201 because the AX200 is guaranteed to work on your laptop.
No problem. If dell accepts the refund, I recommend checking every single detail before buying a new laptop (you can even go with the same model, there are different configurations, and you can get a plain old Qualcomm or Intel card with the same laptop). Other companies, mainly on the lower end, you might face the horror that is Realtek (their audio is alright, their networking hardware is alright, but their networking drivers are horribly incompetent (completely different story from Killer, which has competent drivers, but that are not suitable for most tasks)).
By the way, what are your issues? Dell's audio driver solution unfortunately utilizes Waves MaxxAudio, so I recommend utilizing the unofficial Realtek UAD drivers (the drivers themselves are official, the installer is not), and the monitor perhaps may require proper calibration.
