    I have a Alienware 17 r3 and changed my wifi card to intel wifi 6 ax200ngw. I would assume it would work on the R2 as the motherboard of the 2 versions are almost identical. Also the slot of the wifi card seems the same. You can ask google, for sure it will help you.
    Hope this helps.

    Didn't know ax200 was supported. I'm searching for Qualcomm versions since Intel Cards craps out when I'm on edge of the room. Have Intel cards improved their range and speed in tricky spots?
