I possess a Dell Latitude 7490 with ProSupport for three years, and I’m expecting an Xfinity WiFi 6 Gateway soon (Xfinity XB7 Gateway with WiFi 6). My current setup includes an Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 8265 with Bluetooth. I’d like to switch to a WiFi 6 capable card such as the Intel Network AX200, but my CPU is an i5-8350u VPRO edition. The Intel Card doesn’t support vPro, though that might still be relevant. Additionally, can I keep using my existing antenna?

Vpro isn't important; focus on ensuring the Wi-Fi card doesn't rely on CNVi. This affects system compatibility.

That's correct, I missed noting that the AX200NGW should be purchased instead of the AX201NGW, which includes CNVi while the latter does not.

I assume you're not using CNVi, so I'll go with the AX200NGW which supports vPro. It shouldn't affect your setup. Your existing antenna collection should still function properly.
