What WiFi parts are compatible with the Framework Laptop?

M.2 2230 WiFi modules supporting PCI-e, USB, or CNVi and up to WiFi 6E should work. The modules we sell in the Framework Marketplace are tested for compatibility. We recommend using one of:

  • Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX210 (Gig+), 2230, 2x2 AX R2 (6GHz)+BT, No vPro®
  • Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX210 (Gig+), 2230, 2x2 AX R2 (6GHz)+BT, vPro®
  • Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 (Gig+), 2230, 2x2 AX+BT, No vPro®
  • Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 (Gig+), 2230, 2x2 AX+BT, vPro®
  • Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (Gig+), 2230, 2x2 AX+BT, No vPro®
  • Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (Gig+), 2230, 2x2 AX+BT, vPro®

After installing one of the modules listed, make sure to install the Framework Laptop Driver Bundle.

Note for Linux users

Support for AX210 requires kernel 5.12 or newer, though we have seen reports of regressions in 5.13.  Check the Linux sub-forum in the Framework Community for the latest guidance on compatibility.
