Questions about this item

Will the 8260NGW card fit the M.2 slot on my Latitude E7450?

The card uses an M.2 form factor and the Latitude E7450 is listed among the compatible Dell models, so it fits the existing slot.

How can I confirm the 8260NGW is operating on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands after installation?

Check the network adapter properties in Device Manager; the Intel Wireless-AC 8260 supports 802.11 abgn and ac on both bands, so dual-band networks will appear.

Does the 8XG1T package include antenna cables or must they be reused from the old card?

The supplied card is the M.2 module only; antenna cables stay in the laptop and connect to the new card's connectors.
