> I believe X13 Gen 2 has soldered WiFi, not M.2.

According to the hardware maintenance manual: "Wireless LAN card (for selected AMD models)" [1]

I can confirm from the internal photos I have of my X13 AMD Gen 2 (I swapped the stock SSD for a SK Hynix P31 Gold 1TB) that the WiFi is indeed M.2 socketed.

Huh, you are absolutely right, my MT7961 is M.2 too. I too have swapped my SSD but I guess I didn't look at the WiFi chip at the time because I "knew" it was soldered.

I was originally looking to buy one of the X13 Gen 2 Intel models that have it soldered, I must've thought it applied to AMD as well.

I guess I'll try out Intel AX210 then, to see which one actually works better for me.

the AX210 is better by far (i swapped out my M2 mediatek, which had bizarre hardware issues)
