Intel Dual Band Wireless-Ac 8265 w/Bluetooth 8265.NGWMG

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

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 case Note: 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 it Also, 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 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.

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'm impressed, this was used to replace a QUALCOMM single band on an older Dell PC, My shop is located about 50- 74 feet away from the router and extenders, my best speed on a good day used to be about 10mbps, I installed this and now I get 70mbps !! Huge improvement !!

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.

Installed without issue in HP Engage Flex Mini workstations, Win11. Plug and play.

Bought it to replace the Dell XPS WiFi killer card that came with the XPS 9550. In the beginning it wouldn't work properly so I ended up using the Killer Card again, then I tried it again a few months later and it worked perfectly at excellent speeds. I had the right driver and seating, very strange but eventually I got great use out it. I really hated the Dell Killer WiFi, it was a disaster.

Il pacco è arrivato nei tempi prestabiliti, acquistato insieme alle antenne, l'ho montato su scheda madre Asrock z370, non ha bisogno di configurazione. Funziona perfettamente sia come WiFi che come bluetooth

J'ai un HP Envy 13 pouce avec une carte wifi broadcom mal reconnue par Linux ( je n'avais ni le bluetooh, ni le wifi 5Ghz ). Le carte que j'avais était moins large que celle ci (16mm de large contre 22mm de large pour celle-ci ). Pour autant le slot M2 fait 22mm donc est compatible avec ce format de carte. De plus je commençais a avoir de gros problèmes avec ma carte broadcom qui s'éteignait au bout de 5min à peine d'utilisation. Bref celle-ci est reconnue par linux ( ubuntu 17.04 ) ! J'ai le wifi et le bluetooth ! L'investissement de 30euros en vaut largement la chandelle !

Le quedo bien a mi computadora lo malo es que el bluetooth se conecta y desconecta. Pero para wifi cumple bien las expectativas

Lo instalé en un Dell 7358 con dos años de antigüedad y ha mejorado espectacularmente la velocidad de conexión y la cobertura. Fue muy sencillo de instalar (extraer la tapa inferior y los tornillitos de la propia tarjeta) Recomendado
