I am planninmg to upgrade my thinkpads wifi car with the AX200 wifi 6 network card.
I found this onr form China on ebay. The seller looks trustable, but, do you think the product is fine or because is coming from China , i must be sceptical ?

Make sure the card is on the parts list for the laptop, Lenovo/Dell/Hp and many others are sometimes restricting the compatibility in BIOS (so that you buy their own cards) and you may end up buying a card that will not work with the device just because Lenovo does not want it to...

I contact allready lenovo , and also i check many times on internet videos for this upgrade. But tell me if the chinese card you think is ok ?

There is no way to tell for sure. There is a massive amount of fake stuff coming out of china. They even fake brand name stuff.

Some works perfectly fine. It can even be produced at the same factory they are just avoiding paying license fees to things like patent owners. Others are complete trash built by companies trying to go a cheap as possible.

Even a lot of stuff sold on amazon and new egg third party sellers is this same stuff bulk imported and then sold out USA based warehouses.

I would spend the extra couple of dollars and buy from a company that makes it easy to return defective product.

I would order, the worst thing would be a non-working card which I believe you could return to the seller.

I would spend a few bucks more and get the Intel AX210 WIfi 6E adapter instead. Wifi 6 will be a very short lived standard, 6E is meant to replace it and will probably be the defacto standard for a while.
