Wireless-AC 7265 M.2 adapter

This Intel 7265NGW adapter adds WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity through an NGFF M.2 slot. It delivers dual-band wireless at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz with a combined throughput of 1200 Mbps. The card uses the Intel Wireless-AC 7265 chipset and requires driver installation on Windows or kernel 4.1+ on Linux.

Replacement part for existing 7265 systems

This adapter suits owners of laptops, desktops or industrial devices that already use the 7265NGW and need a direct replacement. It supports Windows 7 through 11 and Linux but is not suited for builds that require a newer wireless standard or a different M.2 keying. Buyers without an NGFF M.2 slot should look at other form factors.

NGFF M.2 interface requirement

The single specification that decides fitment is the presence of an NGFF M.2 slot wired for this WiFi card. Without that exact slot the adapter cannot be installed, regardless of operating system or antenna provision.

Questions about this item

Which version of the Intel 7265 adapter should I choose for my M.2 slot?

This single AC7265 model uses the NGFF M.2 interface and fits laptops, desktops or industrial boards that have a compatible M.2 slot.

What does the 1200 Mbps total bandwidth mean once the card is installed?

The 1200 Mbps is a theoretical maximum split between 2.4 GHz at 300 Mbps and 5 GHz at 867 Mbps; real-world throughput will be lower and depends on router capability, distance and interference.

Which Wi-Fi standard and Bluetooth version does the M.2 interface cap in practice?

The card supports IEEE 802.11ac WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 4.0; the M.2 connection does not limit these protocols further.
