It is mostly find a video that shows how to take the laptop apart.
Almost all newer laptop use m.2 slots but if it is older it might use a the half size pcie cards.

Although you could put a card with similar specs you will find that there is almost no price difference between older tech and the newest wifi6e. Even if you can't use wifi6e today the cards support all the older types of wifi.

Although there are now many competitors wifi cards based on intel ax210 are very popular. The exact brand does not matter too much since they use the same intel chip. Mostly the difference would be warranty support if there was a problem.

Good news is asus does not bios lock which cards you can use.

My guess is it will work. Almost all new laptops use m.2 type e wifi. This card will fit in a or e slots.
I would see if you can find a video or photo of the laptop slot or card in your machine. There really are only 2 types of common cards and the other one is huge compared to these. If it looks similar it will likely work.

Note the antenna on these devices is a pain to connect if you have big fingers. You can feel it snap into place.
