IntelDual Band Wireless-Ac 8265 w/Bluetooth 8265.NGWMG

Great piece. Works on all Windows. Very fast, easy. Thanks to the company. Thanks Amazon

Does its job well. Definitely not the bottleneck in my connection to the internet. Fit perfectly in the WiFi M.2 slot on my ASRock X370 Gaming X Desktop motherboard (Mobo bought on NewEgg, specific model not on Amazon, but very similar to ASRock X370 GAMING K4 FATAL1TY Socket AM4/AMD X370/DDR4/A&GbE/ATX Motherboard). Connected it to the antenna leads on the PORJET: New 2 x 6dBi RP-SMA Dual Band 2.4GHz 5GHz + 2 x 35cm M.2(NGFF)Cable Antenna Mod Kit No Soldering use for NGFF Wireless Cards & M.2(NGFF) 3G/4G Cards and away I went.Pro-tip, it's best to attach the antenna leads to the card before you insert the card into the slot. Took a bit of fiddling and gingerly snapping them on (I took the reviews complaining of smushed sockets seriously). Once they are snapped on they hold pretty well, just make sure to map out the path you want the antenna wires to take BEFORE you attach them.So my recommended order of assembly is:- Attach outer antenna ports to the designated supports on the motherboard (using pliers to securely tighten the nuts)- Run antenna wires around things to eat up an appropriate amount of length (I ran mine around the watercooler block since the M.2 slot was rather close to the back panel so I had plenty of line to eat up)- Attach leads to the card- Insert card into motherboard and screw down with the M.2 screw- Screw on outer antennas to the ports now on the outside of the caseNote: Make sure your mobo uses this M.2 format as this format is most often used in laptops. Yes I put it in a desktop; yes I made dang sure it would go there before I bought itAlso, from what I could figure out, the 8265 model makes a difference compared to 8260 etc. This model supports 802.11ac and bluetooth 4.2. This was one of the most obscure and technical pieces I dug into for my build.DEFINITELY worth going this route rather than using up a PCI slot for a WiFi adapter. Plus this inserts into the south bridge at a higher level than the PCI bus, giving a measurable, but negligible, boost in speed.

I bought a brand new Razer Blade Pro FHD that had a Killer Wireless AC-1535 card in it. The out of box wifi experience was abysmal. Literally every 5 to 10 minutes, I would lose my connection. It was a living hell and I have never had such deep buyers remorse. After some internet searching, I found that I was not alone and this card had helped so many others. I was presented the option of shipping my $2k laptop back to Hong Kong, where they would test it against their local wifi and find nothing wrong (plus have my new investment MIA for 2 to 3 weeks or longer) and at best just put in another Killer 1535 card from hell, or spending $20, have this card delivered to my doorstep in 24 to 36 hours and have my WiFi issues completely resolved. I chose to order this card and I will never look back.It's like a brand new computer...for only 20 bucks!!! The wifi is flawless from every corner of my house. The connection is stable and fast and just works. Dang...it's really hard for me to imagine why any manufacturer would choose the killer competition. It was so cheap and so easy to install...took like 4 minutes. I am so ecstatic with this purchase.

I was experiencing wireless connection issues with my Dell Inspiron 5559 that started driving me nuts every time I tried to go online my wireless was down and so I invented all sorts of work arounds to fire it back up including reloading the drivers, finally I’d had enough and decided to either get a new laptop or try to resolve the issues. I decided to purchase a new wireless card and antenna, so I went ahead and ordered them and installed them and "eureka " it's fixed! The drivers loaded automatically. It was plug and play, I didn't have to mess with anything! Everything is working perfectly! even better than when it was new. I always had Bluetooth issues when wearing headphones and walked 10 feet from my laptop. With the new network I can walk 150 feet away and it's flawless! The original wireless card was an Intel AC3160, the new one is an Intel AC8265. Completely fixed for about $25

I have a Dell XPS 15 9550. The WiFi started dropping out frequently. I Googled the problem and the resolution that popped up most was replacing the WiFi card with an Intel AC 8260. I choose the 8265 because it's basically the same card with MU MIMO support, which my mesh router supports.This is a two antenna card, not the three that comes with the XPS, but just leave one antenna disconnected. Card works great. Faster, full signal and no dropout's. No issue with Bluetooth either.Make sure to download drivers first. Google "Intel AC 8260 drivers" and you should find them. The 8260 and 8265 drivers are the same. Install the card (Google that and you'll find plenty of instructions), boot your laptop, run both the WiFi and Bluetooth drivers (two downloads) and you should be good.

So far it works normally, really is a product that is quite dependant on the host system so it's hard to say if your experience would be the same (install wise)... What I can say is it's more reliable connecting to my Unifi AC LR AP then my factory-installed Realtek chip... So that's good, as that's why I bought it.

Works good, easy install

This card is very easy to install!1.Go to the Intel website, down the WiFi drivers and the Blue Tooth drivers.2. Install the card3. Install both driversDONE!
