Not sure if right wi wi card fitted
I am a bit confused my laptop was sold having a
Intel(R) Killer(TM) Wi-Fi 6E 1675 (AX211), 2x2, 802.11ax, Bluetooth(R) wireless card
The driver download shows a driver for
Intel-BE200-AX211-Wi-Fi-Controller-Driver-and-Killer_G98DW_WIN_35.24.5437_A16.EXE
And device manager says
Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz
As far as I can see they are not one and the same and the Killer dashboard says no compatible device. Any one know what right please?

No, they are not the same card. But, they use the same driver. See the driver description, This package contains the driver for the Intel BE200 and AX211 wireless cards. Wireless drivers help your operating system to communicate with wireless devices such as wireless cards and network interface controllers. This update addresses the Dell Security Advisories (DSA). A security advisory is a statement when a security vulnerability impacts a product, and a remedy is available for the vulnerability.
Meaning that the driver supports both of Intel BE200 and Intel AX211. Note that after you install the package, the Intel BE200, AX211 WLAN driver version that is displayed in Device Manager is v23.60.1.2.

@Chino de Oro Thanks but does that mean the right or wrong card has been fitted?

There is no wrong card has been fitted. From your information, you stated that your system was ordered with a Wifi 6 card, AX211 and Device Manager also says Wifi 6E, AX211.
On the other hand, Intel BE200 is a Wifi 7 card. Although it's a different wireless option, Dell support provides the same Intel driver.
