Thinkpad e495 Wireless card replacement Realtek

Hi guys,

I have a problem with my new e495. From the day one the wireless disconeted when browsing internet or watching youtube movies. I suspected drivers and hope for the update to fix it. However today it seems won't connect to the internet and I really want to get over with this trouble. I will replace the realtek wifi card. Which card do you recommend and is this card suiatable:
Intel Dual-Band Wireless-AC 9260, WLAN + Bluetooth 5.0 - 9260.NGWG.NV

Thank you

I can confirm the AC 9260 works just fine. I switched my Realtek for one after experiencing the exact same issue you described.

Do you know if the AX200 will work?

I haven't received my E495 yet, but it seems like this WiFi card isn't so reliable and I’d like to switch it out of the box.

It should be whitelisted, so you should be able to use it.
