Is your AX200 removable?
Since no country mentioned - buy this, and have fun with customs.
Yes its removable. So this will work? Im sorry im a it engineer but im not a expert in wifi. So sorry to ask but i must ask will this work
How do I read remotely what key is in your M2 slots? You need matching model among such multi-chip card + supplies sets.
If there is a thermal pad connecting AX200 to case-radiator you need to know exact dimensions of card (shop has drawings) and maybe order replacement pad. It is not possible to guess as long as you withhold information, like you cover antenna connectors so no idea they are SMA or RP-SMA, accordingly you may not need small coax and replace them or you need that.
I can provide all infos but this what u send is not available in my country. Ordering from official website shipping is like 100€... Il check informations u need to totaly cover this thread. I know its m.2 i open it i didnt make images. Also reading on openwrt he show me 7/0/0 bla bla.wifi ax200
You have been told to buy external access point numerous times. The delivery is your expense, since you told no country.

OP needs drop-in replacement for not yet specified AX200 2T2R M2 form factor, possibly with antenna assembly included. Installed AX200 pictures would help, but probably there is some seller's spec sheet for available options.
The internet suggests this to be the inside:
And those look like E-keys to me. If I really really had to make this an AP, I'd probably look at a M.2-to-mini PCI-E adapter.

I'd like to see heatsink on AX200 if any, if we install twice the chippery we may need copper heat conductor to the outer case. Given AX200 - it is unlikely preinstalled antennas are OK for 6GHz and OP can save 10 bucks getting generation older card and drill new antennas for wifi7 some day.
PS we ate OP-s daily quota, lets keep it to the point so they come back to visible improvement.
There's still the elephant in the room, 3 A on 3.3 V (beyond specs) - and the heatsink is not for show, it needs to fit and requires forced airflow as well. One card will raise the total TDP by ~50%, I hope you like barbecue.

The ones I mention are mini-pcie
So:
you bought something, extremely overpriced for the task, and want us to fix it before you asked us about it?
- You can wait for someone that did the same thing and found the 'other' solution or (and hear me out) you can...
- Listen and hear well the solutions we know work?
Start here for known solutions.
Il make all images and specs or tomorow or on monday because its currently at my work office. For heating u can put a fan and u have pin for it... but il post all when i get all details
Where did i say i want you to fix it? Headline of thread is "Best m2 wifi card for openwrt".
From the looks of the initial picture you shared, the system appears to be designed entirely for passive cooling. That is to say that the heat must be radiated via the metal fins on the chassis and there may be no airflow (at least nothing of significance) through the box itself. If there aren't vents, a fan will only move air in a sealed chamber, which means that it won't actually cool it. (Yes, the motherboard may have pins for a fan, but chances are that the motherboard can be installed in many different case styles including those with active air cooling, which yours may not have.)
