Wireless M.2 adapter for Dell systems

This Dell 3160NGW card adds 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to compatible notebooks or small-form-factor PCs. It installs in an M.2 NGFF slot using part numbers 28D9J or 028D9J. The adapter is supplied new and intended as a direct replacement for the original module.

Compatibility and use cases

The card suits owners of Dell laptops or desktops that list the 3160NGW as a supported wireless module. Buyers needing 802.11ac or newer Wi-Fi standards, or those whose systems require a different M.2 keying, should look elsewhere. It is not a universal upgrade for every M.2 slot.

Deciding specification

The wireless standard is 802.11 a/b/g/n, which determines the maximum link rate and band support. Confirm that your device accepts this exact Dell part number before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 28D9J or 028D9J part number for my laptop?

Both part numbers refer to the same Dell 3160NGW card; choose whichever matches your service manual or existing label.

What real-world throughput does the 802.11 a/b/g/n rating deliver?

The adapter tops out at the 802.11n maximum, so actual speeds depend on router capabilities, channel width and interference.

Does the M.2 NGFF slot carry both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals?

Yes, the M.2 NGFF interface provides the PCIe and USB lanes needed for the dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functions.
