WiFi 6E Mini PCIe Card Tri-Band 5400Mbps BT5.3 Laptop Upgrade

As a traditional 2.4 gHz and 5 gHz wi-fi card, it works to perfection, and it's very low cost. I don't have a 6 or 6E 6 gHz access point, so I don't have a way to judge it's performance in the band where transfer rate is highest. I will have a 6E access point in a few months, and I intend to update this review at that time. Signal strength is better than the 14-year-old Intel wi-fi half mini-sata card it replaced. Although I had downloaded BT and wifi AX-210 drivers before replacing the card, I did not execute them. The card found whatever drivers it needed. Bluetooth works perfectly. The old card was BT 4.0, so this card brings an improvement. The upgrade was quick and painless. My DQ77KB motherboard interface used the half-mini-pcie version, and the new unit was completely compatible. Highly recommended.

Bought this to attempt to upgrade my old HP pavilion laptop model # 15-n225nr from the factory RTL8188EE chip. With newer routers working mostly off of 5-6ghz the old 2.4ghz chip just wasn't keeping up. Tested speeds from my Kitchen table before and after the swap, saw a 1500% (yes that's right, 1500) increase in download speed. Added Bluetooth capability is a bonus as well, as this laptop never had Bluetooth connectivity. This one upgrade has given this old laptop a completely new lease on life. With my current operation system being Kubuntu Linux, the chip was plug and play, I didn't install any software or have to edit or change anything. I plugged it in, powered it up, and wifi/Bluetooth was working immediately. Would definitely recommend this for anyone with a similar setup as me. I should have bought this years ago.

I’ve used these twice when I upgraded older laptops to Linux and the Linux driver had issues with the stock Broadcom WiFi cards. The upgraded Bluetooth is nice little extra. Popped these and worked like a champ. Be careful with the connectors they’re tiny. :0) Just make sure you need the mini pci-e style card. Make sure the card you’re replacing has the two screw locations and not just one in the middle of the edge. Also to note currently there are no drivers for windows 7 that I can find at all so if you want to dual boot to windows 7 currently you won’t have WiFi in windows 7. That’s the only downside I’ve found so far, but honestly I wouldn’t be going to the internet on windows 7 anyways.

Used these as a replacement today in an HP 255 G2 and a Sony VIAO vpcee42fx. They had old WiFi 4/5 cards that were slow and did not have Bluetooth. After I swapped them (super easy installation on both) I verified that they both now have WiFi 6E (802.11 AX) as well as Bluetooth 5.3. On the VIAO I DID need to update the drivers. So without wifi the only way to do this is to connect ethernet FYI. ***So you may need an ethernet cable in addition to this card in order for it to work for you.*** Other than that they're both working and clients will be satisfied. Oh AANNNNDD it comes with a weird attachment I'll never use, but also 4 screws that seem to be universally compatible AND a screw driver that's perfect for working on most laptops. I wasn't able to work on one of them, but once I saw and used the included screwdriver, it worked for upgrading wireless cards and hard drives on both PCs. A lifesaver for sure. Top notch value

Works well in an old laptop. Going from 50Mbps to 200+Mbps.

Works great

Do not purchase this FAKE card. The card was tested under new full Windows 10 Pro 22H2 install with updates dated 1/4/2025 19045.5247 & Full fresh install of Windows 11 Pro 23H2 with correct updates dated 1/20/2024. Both operating systems would load default drivers for an Intel AC-7260. Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (Intel® DSA) reports the correct drivers installed as AC-7260. Removing all device drivers, turning off NIC, deleting from device manager and rebooting with device OFF to force the Intel® Wireless Wi-Fi Drivers for Windows® 10 and Windows 11* 12/17/2024 to install results in device manager show "This device cannot start (Code 10)" after the NIC is reenabled. Windows 11 device manager show this device as PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_08B1&SUBSYS_50708086&REV_CB (Intel AC-7260). On one side of the packaging it shows the device as supporing AC on the other AX.

Exactly what I was looking for. I purchased this item to replace the old 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi card on my very old laptop which lacked Bluetooth functionality, had the tendency to disconnect from my Wi-Fi network in the past, and was slow. It now connects to 5GHz Wi-Fi networks and has Bluetooth functionality built in! My laptop recognized it and after installing both the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers, I had no issues related to functionality regarding to Wi-Fi. I ran a Speedtest and got a decent speed on my 5GHz Wi-Fi router, which was way faster than the old Wi-Fi card in my laptop. I haven't fully tested the Bluetooth functionality, I noticed that it connects to Bluetooth devices, but there is a minor lag when using the Bluetooth device (tested with a Bluetooth mouse), and it doesn't wake up from sleep from a Bluetooth device—this is not a big deal for me and it likely has to do with the age of my laptop, its BIOS limitations, and since the system I installed this card was originally designed to support Wi-Fi capability only. I've installed this Wi-Fi card on an ASUS X552EA-DH42 laptop which I've had since 2015.

Until now my blutooth won't even work and I keep on removing it whenever I restart my hp laptop.

Solo lo instalé y windows 10 automáticamente encuentra los drivers. El producto funciona como debe

Does what it is supposed to do.

Pros New and unopened product received. Packaging was excellent. Item as described. Overall satisfied with product. Would order again from the seller. Cons Delivery took a few weeks, probably because it is an imported item, if so, then one should understand.

Funcionou certinho depois de instalar os drivers mais recentes
