Hello, thank you for your message. I'm aware that English isn't my first language. I'm considering purchasing a Wi-Fi adapter for my PC from AliExpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bdVLybyz. However, the product description mentions it's designed for Intel chips only, not compatible with AMD CPUs. I have a Ryzen 1600 processor built into a ROG Strix B350-F motherboard. I assumed it would work regardless of the motherboard's chipset since it's a PCI EXPRESS card. But after reading the details, I'm more uncertain now. When looking for AMD-compatible adapters, I haven't found many options. Could anyone confirm if this product will function with an AMD system or should I seek alternatives without mentioning Intel?
It seems likely it's fine unless you specify otherwise. Check other builds where the card was used and see if they supported Ryzen.
Some Intel WiFi chipsets are built specifically for 9th generation CPUs. However, regular Intel WiFi adapters should function on any device. Your Ryzen 5 laptop came with an Intel AC 8265 chip, but I’m not sure it’s the best choice since you’re experiencing Bluetooth issues only close by, while WiFi remains stable.
