Anyway z390 chipset has CNVi slot and not compatible with AX201NGW wifi. It cannot support AX201NGW wifi which is CNVio2 interface.
USB wifi interface will be slower, since the board had a m.2 slot might as well make use of the available bandwidth.

Those who wanted AX wifi 6 on Z390 motherboard.
I found a work around solution. But Z390 chipset cannot support CNVio2 interface, so you cannot insert AX201NGW in it.

There is a work around, it will require AX200NGW, not AX201NGW and use a spare M.2 slot. However, m.2 key-M are for NVME so key A-E/E adapter is necessary. Link to the adapter is at the bottom. A spare USB port input will be needed for bluetooth 5.0.

Connect the adapter and USB cable to the motherboard and everything works.
