PCIe Wi-Fi adapter with Intel 8265 chipset

This Corn Electronics TX-8265AC adds dual-band wireless and Bluetooth 4.2 to a desktop PC. It uses a PCI Express slot and the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 chipset. The card delivers up to 867 Mbps over 2x2 802.11ac with MU-MIMO support. Windows 7, 8 and 10 are the supported operating systems.

Suits Windows desktops needing 867 Mbps Wi-Fi

Builders running Windows 7, 8 or 10 who want 867 Mbps dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 will find this card fits. It does not support Windows XP, Vista or Linux, so users of those systems should look elsewhere. The PCI Express interface also means it cannot be used in laptops or USB-only chassis.

Key spec is the Intel 8265 chipset

The Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 chipset determines the 867 Mbps ceiling, 2x2 streams, MU-MIMO capability and Bluetooth 4.2 feature set. If your build requires a different chipset or a higher throughput ceiling, this is not the right part. Verify the PCI Express slot and Windows version before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 867 Mbps PCIe adapter work alongside my older 802.11n router?

Yes, the 802.11ac chipset is backward compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n networks, so it will connect to your existing router at the best mutually supported speed.

How can I verify the Intel 8265 chipset is running at full 867 Mbps after installation?

Check the link speed in Windows network adapter properties or Task Manager; it should report up to 867 Mbps on a 5 GHz 802.11ac connection with MU-MIMO active.

Does the box include the dual-band antennas or must I buy them separately?

The product ships with dual-band antennas that attach to the card; no additional antenna purchase is required for Wi-Fi or Bluetooth 4.2 operation.
