Intel Centrino 2230 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Adapter

This Intel Centrino 2230 adapter combines IEEE 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 in a single Mini PCI Express card. It delivers wireless speeds up to 300 Mbps and uses the 2230 form factor. The part number is 670290-001 and the product was first listed by the manufacturer in 2026.

Suits laptops with a Mini PCI Express slot

This card fits systems that accept a standard Mini PCI Express 2230 module and do not enforce a vendor whitelist. Buyers whose laptops block third-party network cards should look elsewhere, as the supplier notes it does not support HP and Lenovo computers. It is not suitable for desktops without a compatible Mini PCI Express slot or adapter.

Check your laptop has a free Mini PCI Express 2230

Verify the motherboard provides an available Mini PCI Express slot sized for a 2230 card. Confirm the BIOS or firmware does not restrict installation to approved part numbers only. Ensure antenna connectors are present for the Wi-Fi function. No other interface or protocol is supported beyond those listed.

Questions about this item

Does the Intel 2230BNHMW need a Mini PCI Express slot on the motherboard?

Yes, the adapter uses a Mini PCI Express interface, so the host system must provide a compatible slot.

Will the 2230BNHMW coexist with an older 802.11g Wi-Fi card in the same laptop?

Both can operate simultaneously; the 2230BNHMW adds 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.0 while the legacy card keeps its own connection.

How do I confirm the 2230BNHMW is delivering 300 Mbps Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 after installation?

Check the device manager for the Intel Centrino 2230 entry, then run a speed test and pair a Bluetooth 4.0 peripheral to verify both radios.
