SHUTTLE WLN-M22 WLAN Kit — Intel AX210 M.2 Wi‑Fi 6E (Tri‑band 2.4/5/6 GHz) with Bluetooth 5.2 and 2x2 external antennas

SHUTTLE WLN-M22 is a WLAN/Bluetooth combo kit that includes an Intel AX210 M.2-2230 card, antenna cables and two external 2x2 antennas for improved reception in small form-factor and Cube-style PCs. The module supports tri-band Wi‑Fi 6E (2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz) with theoretical throughput up to 2400 Mbit/s and integrates Bluetooth 5.2, providing a compact internal upgrade path for systems with an M.2 slot.

Advantages

The WLN-M22 provides tri-band Wi‑Fi 6E capability, enabling access to the new 6 GHz band where available and offering reduced interference in congested environments. With Intel AX210 technology and support for 2x2 spatial streams, the kit combines high wireless data rates up to 2400 Mbit/s and modern Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity in a single M.2 card. The included external antennas and cables improve signal reception for Cube PCs and other small enclosures where internal antenna placement is limited.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This kit requires an available M.2-2230 slot with the appropriate keying and internal antenna routing; it is not a USB or PCIe adapter. Systems without an M.2 socket or without BIOS support for WLAN modules may not accept the card. Maximum performance depends on router/access point capabilities and environmental factors; if the network infrastructure does not support Wi‑Fi 6E or 2x2 operation, you will not achieve the higher throughput values.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the Intel AX210 M.2-2230 card into an available M.2 slot on the motherboard following the system manufacturer’s instructions and securing the card with the appropriate screw. Route and connect the included antenna cables to the card’s antenna connectors, then position the external antennas for optimal reception outside or on the chassis where signal is strongest. After hardware installation, boot the system, install any required drivers from the system vendor or Intel if not provided by the operating system, and configure wireless networks and Bluetooth pairing through the OS network and Bluetooth settings.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

For best results, place the external antennas clear of large metal objects and orient them to reduce obstructions; ensure your access point supports 802.11ax and 6 GHz for top speeds. Keep drivers updated and follow Shuttle’s installation guidance for Cube systems to avoid compatibility issues.
