Dual-band 802.11ac M.2 Wi-Fi adapter

The Intel 8260NGW is a PCI-Express M.2 2230 module that adds dual-band 802.11ac wireless and Bluetooth 4.2 to compatible laptops or small-form-factor desktops. It connects via an M.2 E-key slot and delivers a maximum link rate of 867 Mbps. The card uses part number 806721-001 and replaces several OEM equivalents including 840079-001 and H83988-004.

Upgrade for M.2 E-key slots only

This adapter suits owners of notebooks or mini PCs that have a free M.2 E-key socket and need both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in one card. It will not work in M.2 M-key or B-key slots, nor in older half-mini PCIe slots. Buyers whose systems lack an M.2 E-key connector should look at a different interface.

Maximum 867 Mbps 802.11ac link rate

The single specification that decides fit is the 867 Mbps 802.11ac data rate combined with Bluetooth 4.2 over a PCI-Express M.2 2230 form factor. If your device requires a faster Wi-Fi standard, a different Bluetooth version, or a different physical keying, this card will not meet the requirement.
