I cancelled my AX210 order because the Bluetooth doesnt work unless theres an config to set up it wont so I prefer to play safe with something that always work on the spot.
Wifi Module A8 from Allnet is Available now!

While having my rock 5B on hand, I cant wait to get my RTL8852BE (unbranded wifi card) and try it out (should be getting it at around two weeks later with both the passive and cooling fan heatsink), sadly this card does not seems to support Wifi 6E, but it looks great to have Bluetooth 5.2
While waiting for my WiFi Card, I am using my macbook (with a usb-c to ethernet hub) (windows or a raspberry pi should be helpful to do the same job too) to get internet on my Rock 5B

For Linux, AX210 is good. For Android, AX210 is not supported yet or probably never.

Wouldn’t one assume that drivers would be delivered later? Or are there other reasons why the drivers might never come? (Im asking because I bought 2x AX210 back in February xD)
No Android device currently uses the AX series. So Intel doesn’t have a driver for Android. You could try to hack it since Android runs the Linux kernel, but the subsystems ate different.

What is the TX power?
I actually dislike this card … the antenna are the DEVIL in disguise 
People with big fingers have a rough time getting them attached

which one A8 or AX?
any advice for a card with both linux and android support?
do you have more info on what the issue is with BT.
Radxa Wireless Module A8 is the recommended WiFi/BT card for ROCK 5B, it’s just 9.9$, very good price/value.

thanks for quick reply, unfortunately already placed my order for rock5b,
just dropped a message to allnet to see if I can update my order with that board to avoid paying shipping fees again
if you have an old laptop then it is a good chance that in there are 2 antennas and a m.2 wifi/bt card

I do but it is from 2015, so a bit outdated wifi and bt norm, but will have a look at the motherboard I kept in garage 
might be good a temporary solution until I get better card, thanks for the tip
and I paid full price for it 
extracted that card from my old laptop, do you know if that would fit in Rock5B? not sure but seems like E and not B-key?
do you have your rock 5b allready?
if yes just try it if it fits turn it on and test it if not then you could buy an adaptor or order another card
it’s on its way, maybe I’ll have it next week, wanted to know if i had to look for another wifi card otherwise will be stuck with no network…
it will work its an e key and the m.2 slot on the top of the rock 5b is also an e key
