The drivers that I will be providing it to you today are made for Intel AX2xx-AX16xx-BE2xx-BE17xx Wi-Fi module chip that is present to almost all OEM/Vendor laptops [Mostly on Intel based laptops].

Unfortunately Intel stock drivers differentiate between top of the line of Intel Wi-Fi chip and the cheaper/older ones... even though they have the exact same hardware specifications yet.. they lock features & performance improvements related to the driver functions to only top tier/top of the line of Intel Wi-Fi chip and neglect older Intel Wi-Fi chip with old drivers & un-optimized functions being used. I guess Intel does that to force users to buy there expensive top tier/top of the line of Intel Wi-Fi chip.

This modded driver supports Intel AX2xx-AX16xx-BE2xx-BE17xx Wi-Fi.. doesn't matter if from Acer, Asus, Lenovo, MSI, HP, Desktop, NUC, etc.. and others... as long as they are Intel AX2xx-AX16xx-BE2xx-BE17xx Wi-Fi model.. it is completely fine. Now you can save $$$ and enjoy Intel® Killer™ Features along with optimizations that comes with it! :rockout:

Currently it supports all those models:-
  • Intel AX101
  • Intel AX203
  • Intel AX211
  • Intel AX210
  • Intel AX411
  • Intel AX1675
  • Intel BE200
  • Intel BE202
  • Intel BE1750
  • Intel AX200
  • Intel AX201
  • Intel AX1650

Today I present you my so called "Optimized" or "Improved" drivers by editing .inf files to be able to take advantage of top tier/top of the line of Intel Wi-Fi chip features to our older models. It's like I am back porting all features & optimization that are made only to top tier/top of the line of Intel Wi-Fi chip features back to our beloved Intel AX210/AX211/AX1650/AX1675 Wi-Fi :)

Intel applied arbitrary limitations to AX210/AX211/AX1650/AX1675 Wi-Fi chip so they can sell AX411 & AX1690... but here I am... it's now using the new NetAdapterCx (Network Adapter WDF Class Extension) with my modified driver on AX210/AX211/AX1650/AX1675!, Which they only did it for AX411 & AX1690 while they kept AX210/AX211/AX1650/AX1675 with an old ndis.sys ones deliberately.

By default NetAdapterCx is being used on ethernet drivers years ago by Realtek/Intel and other Ethernet Vendors too.

It's simply a driver limitation Intel put it on but HW supports it. It also have DCT [Double Connect Tech.] although I would need find a way to test it if DCT actually works with AX210/AX211 specifically since I have the option to enable it on the driver settings through device manager but I believe it needs Intel Killer Software Suite... [WIP about Intel Killer Software Suite... I already bypassed HWID check but needs more work & not worth delays the public release of this modded driver :) ]

Here's some info regarding the DCT [Double Connect Tech.] with a Video explaining it.
https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...ess/double-connect-killer-wi-fi-6e-video.html

Using Windows 11 is a requirement to enjoy those benefits that I will mention after this. Windows 10 doesn't support NetAdapterCx driver.

Notice:- Intel AX200 & AX201 Doesn't support NetAdapterCx driver so they are not included.


Benefits & Features with NetAdapterCx driver support are...
  • Lower ndis.sys DPC routines
  • Lower CPU utilization during high load networking
  • Lower latency when compared between NetAdapterCx based drivers vs ndis.sys based drivers.

You can read it here more in-depth.. and even google it.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/netcx/wifi-wdf-class-extension-wificx

Here's some proof picture that I did it with success! + Technical details about Intel dividing the features between AX210/AX211/AX411 through driver structure changes...

Additional tunings I have made on this modded driver are...
  • MSI tunings related to IRQ & Priority level.
  • Applied out of the box default settings of Intel Killer features for AX210/AX211 and enabled & used by default.
  • Using QOS settings that was only made for Intel Killer models now being used by default to our beloved AX210/AX211.
  • Unhide & allow DCT [Double Connect Tech.] to be visible to the users on device manager.
  • Auto elevate script used inside setup.bat to be able to Install the modded driver without needing to do "Right click on the file & Run as admin".
  • Renamed Intel Wi-Fi naming to be able to differentiate between stock driver ones & my modded driver ones.
  • Added Intel BE200 Support (Including Killer Variants) now they get to enjoy it too!
  • Fixed a rare case issue with IRQ for Intel AX211 subvariant [DEV_51F0&SUBSYS_00948086]
  • Fixed MSI bug issue for Intel AX211 subvariant [DEV_51F0&SUBSYS_00948086]
  • Added additional work around for Intel AX211 subvariant [DEV_51F0&SUBSYS_00948086]
  • Fixed a misspell naming of one of the Intel AX names
  • Added PieExtension & WiFi Driver Customizations from Intel Stock drivers Package
  • Added & support for Intel AX200/AX201 and AX1650i [Unfortunately NetAdapterCx driver not included as it will break Wi-Fi functionality]
  • Added & support for Intel BE1775x
  • Fixed signal integrity bug issues for Intel Killer AX1675i subvariant of [PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7A70&SUBSYS_16721A56]
  • Added a fix workaround for Intel Killer AX1675i subvariant of [PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7A70&SUBSYS_16721A56] & [PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7AF0&SUBSYS_16721A56]
  • Added PieComponent driver along with PieExtension & Wi-Fi Custom driver with the package to be installed with the modded driver
  • Applied MSI tunings related to IRQ & Priority level for AX200/AX201 and AX1650i
  • Applied MSI tunings workaround for Intel Killer AX1675i subvariant of [PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7AF0&SUBSYS_16721A56]
  • Made BE200 to use Killer features by default
  • Added DCT [Double Connect Tech.] driver level support for BE200 & BE202
  • Added DCT [Double Connect Tech.] driver level support for AX200 & AX201
  • Added DCT [Double Connect Tech.] driver level support for AX1650i & AX1675i
  • Added QOS and used by default for BE200 & BE202
  • Added QOS and used by default for AX200 & AX201
  • Possible fix for Swedish language on device manager on advanced settings menu
I will always update Intel drivers whenever Intel provides newer stock driver versions on the future releases & I will apply the modded changes on top of it.

Alright here we start... I have the confidence to share my modded driver to the public which allows us to enjoy all features & optimization that Intel made and might provide extra networking performance as well. The driver is on the attachment of this post!

Unfortunately I don't have any spare time to provide data results of performance difference between the stock driver ones vs my modded driver. So the only option is to take Microsoft words about NetAdapterCx benefits and Intel words about Intel® Killer™ features benefits but all I can assure you 100% is that I confirm that all those changes are being applied & used correctly & effectively being used properly.

Please notice this is the 1st Public Beta release. I have made it public after enough reports of being stable & without any stability issues being reported. If you faced any issues... please report it here by commenting, Thank you :)

Installing instructions:-
  • Simply download the file [The driver is on the attachment of this post! ]
  • Extract the zip file. [Use 7zip as Windows ones doesn't know how to deal with compressed files.]
  • Simply run setup.bat file & you are done! :clap:
  • Enjoy! :toast:
How to Uninstall Intel modded Wi-Fi driver:-
  • Simply go to Device Manager by clicking on Keyboard [Win + X] and it will show you this.. Simply click on Device Manager
1726776862925.png

  • Navigate and Uninstall it with checkbox checked like this...
1726776911011.png


  • Intel Killer Intelligence Center Software Suite
I have created an Installer batch script which will install Killer software on your device. If you are really interested and want to try it out... download from the attachment from this post. They work on all non-killer models. Allows it to work on all Laptops & PCs.

  • Currently, 99% of Killer features are working correctly and functioning without an issue ;)
  • Notice:- It's better to use it along with Intel Wi-Fi Ultra Killer modded drivers for better coherent and compatibility. Although it will still work with stock Intel WiFi drivers.

Here's some images & screenshot in how it looks like :)

Atm Direct Connect doesnt seem to work for AX211, however this looks like a promising lead on what might be required Dual STA connectivity - Windows drivers | Microsoft Learn

netsh wlan show wirelesscapabilities
Max number of channels the device can operate on, simultaneously (value not available)
Co-existence Support : Unknown
Maximum Number of Secondary STAs Supported : 0
Number of Concurrent Channels Supported : 0
Number of Radios : 0

also spotted this, assuming should be 0 as theres no Wifi 7 MLO for the AX411. Maybe related that its using this?
Number of MLO Connections Supported : 3

AX411 supports Wi-Fi 7 which should have MLO support but anything under it's only Wi-Fi 6/6E with no MLO, I will try & look into this.. will research & study it's function we might get it to work for AX210/211 ;) I will see what I can do about this but I can't promise you anything :)

Thank you for the MLO & STA info.! never knew that it existed :respect:

@physicsjunky @R0H1T Do you have time to test out some drivers? I am giving it another chance to get Intel AX200/201 to be supported as well :) I'm not giving up on this ;)

Yes, anything to squeeze the last bit of performance out of these devices.

I also am willing to test and help in anyway I can.
Thank you for your time & help :respect::toast:Here... download the driver from the attachment of this comment :) I'm still not willing to announce it publicly on the main post bec. I wanted to make sure that Intel AX200/201 is functioning correctly & stably ;)

Make sure to Use 7zip as Windows ones doesn't know how to deal with compressed files.

The only thing that Intel AX200/201 is missing... is it doesn't have NetAdapterCx driver support compared to other revision models, because the driver won't load no matter how hard I tried to make it work... it simply fails to load up and Wi-Fi stops functioning, but all other stuff is there like tunings, QOS, Killer features, etc.. are all being used & treated the same as other revision models :)

Once it get's released to the public & posted on the main post... I will make sure to make a notice about it to prevent any confusions :)

#1 Is Lan through Asus Wifi AImesh router, and #2 is with the modded AX200 driver. I have a 1Gig internet plan but the routers can't push those speeds through the master closet.
Thank you for testing! :respect: could you do stock driver vs the modded ones? or they are almost the same ? regarding to pings & download/upload speed. Intel AX200 modded driver uses Killer features by default so hopefully it will make a difference :)

Thank you for your reports! I appreciate those info. :respect:Do you realize any kind of instability like... sudden disconnected internet & then it gets connected again? or ping spikes or any abnormal behaviors? :)

It is roughly the same speed between stock and modded, I still get 4 to 5ms ping.

I see :ohwell:, well you get to have DCT & QOS on your AX200 :) check device manager settings, and you would be able to see Double Connect Tech. option visible for you. Make sure to use the latest driver from the main post :)

Same thing here, probably in part because I have a connection that tops out at 150Mbps or so. It's stable and no issues so far.

Great to hear :), what about signal quality. Does it varies alot or is it more gradual linear signal changes?

You can simply browse the WiFi bandwidth speeds on the WiFi settings on windows and move around as you go further away from your router :)

Do you move around alot or your laptop is stationary?

Using it with X570's onboard wifi, since it's a desktop and I have the router nearby, there's no obstruction, and the signal is stable. I have a laptop with AX201 IIRC, but it has Linux. I'll use a WinPE iso, install the drivers manually, and check it once. Possibly later, towards the weekend. If you want any other tests, I can do them on the desktop?
