Fixed my connectivity issues and super easy to install on the XPS
The cards is working very good, with no drop outs, a very high average connection speed and no weird problems, glitches or whatever.
I have a complain though, this card receives a very poor signal in both computers, and compared to 2 different wifi cards (one Realtek/Qualcomm and the Killer 1435).
If you buy a recent laptop that comes with Wi-Fi 6E, as I did, you may find that many Linux distributions don't work well with the new Intel Wi-Fi 6E chipsets. At one point, kernel 5.18 sort of work but could be unreliable. Then it seemed support completely went down. I tried again with kernel 6.5, and Wi-Fi 6E sort of work but a Bluetooth wouldn't. Anyhow end result was to just pull the card and replace it with this one and all is well.
Everything went smoothly, until I got to the Wi-Fi. The laptop wouldn't detect my Wi-Fi router. After trying a few "fixes" suggested online, I decided I wasn't wasting any more time going that route.
There was a Realtek Wi-Fi card installed on my laptop. It turns out Realtek cards don't always work well with Linux, so I looked for a replacement.
I found and ordered this item for about $16. I installed it and booted up my laptop. This card immediately detected my Wi-Fi router and I'm good to go.
If you are comfortable opening up a laptop, this is a pretty simple job switching out the Wi-Fi cards. The laptop's 2 wire connectors are tiny and a bit fiddly, so if you have old eyes and sausage fingers like myself, a magnifying glass and some needle nose pliers might be helpful. Just remember if your device is still under warranty, you will most likely be voiding it.
Now my Linux HP laptop can wirelessly connect to the internet, 5 stars!
