Review: Amazing upgrade to an older laptop... do your homework and ensure it will work in your PC - Perfect replacement for my Dell's B/G/N adapter. Before you try this for your laptop, here's what you need to know; 1. Do I have a 1/2 height mini PCIe slot? Find an exact replacement for your laptop and read the description... if it's a 1/2 height mini PCIe, continue... if not, look elsewhere. 2. Does my laptop manufacturer 'whitelist' components in the BIOS? Whitelist is a method the vendors use to limit your options to only hardware they allow. The questions is a hard one to answer too; I had to google quite a bit to find out the Dell does not whitelist. Your vendor might... If they don't, continue... if they do, consider a USB adapter. 3. Can you get to the card and are you comfortable with the task? Again, google and youtube are your friends... I youtube'd how to replace my wifi card and a perfect video showed me how to remove my keyboard to gain access to the card and how to swap the card. If yes, continue... if no, look elsewhere. I installed the card in my 18 month old Dell Inspiron 17R, Core i3, 8 gig, Win10... I downloaded and installed the Intel drivers from a comment in a review before I installed the card. When I powered back on and booted up, the adapter worked instantly with no additional action required. My 5 Ghz network was immediately available and connected with no issues. Previously speedtest.net put my downloads from Charter at 35 average from my TP-Link AC1750 router. After installing this card and connecting to the 5Ghz network, my speedtest results easily top 120. It's a huge change for $30 and about 15 minutes of actual installation work. I spent about 2 hours googling the various compatability questions and watching how-to videos. Highly recommend this card to anyone willing to do the research ahead of time to ensure it works. The AC speeds are fantastic and I don't have a USB dongle or external card to worry about snagging or breaking.
Review: Good for Wireless-AC and Bluetooth (not for WiDi though) - [Nov 30, 2014] Summary. This Intel 7260-AC is great for wireless-AC on my HP Envy laptop, with new TP-Link Archer C7 v2 (dual band AC 1750) and my Bluetooth mouse. I found it is best to use only Windows Update for drivers (Intel.com drivers caused Bluetooth random drops). I stopped using Intel WiDi as connections were erratic with hesitation and audo/video stutters. [Nov 30, 2014] Intel WiDi is not usable with Netgear NeoTV Max -- random drops, video/audio stutters. I'm now trying Google Chromecast media player, which uses Wifi-N. [Nov 5, 2014] Quite happy after a week now with a new wireless-AC router (TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750), which replaced my old wireless-G router. On Windows 8.1, the only tweak needed was to set "AdHoc QoS Mode" to "WMM Enabled" on the Intel card, which corrected a WiDi problem of randomly dropping connections. Happily using the Intel 7260's WiDi on my laptop to play web videos such as Hulu and Youtube to my TV using WiDi. Connects as advertised at 300Mbps on 2.4GHz band or at 866.7 at 5GHz band. Strong and fast connections anywhere in my 1200 sf home. I have other devices with no more than 100Mbps connections, so no way to test the max throughput, but those devices are easily maxed out by my laptop now. [Oct 22, 2014] I'll defer on all questions concerning the "Revision" label. I've removed my previous speculative comments. Too little info available. [Oct 16, 2014] The item I received works great. On it is printed "Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC" and "Model 7260HMW", as I expected. No indication of a revision, but the vendor did post a picture of the shipping label showing the dot "R", so I'm fine with that. [Oct 14, 2014] Paid 29.99, received on-time (Oct 11, 2014), non-retail packaging (plastic clam-shell), with 2 useful screws. Sold by Mobile Computing Solutions. This product, Intel 7260HMWG (Wireless-AC, dual-band, Bluetooth 4, WiDi) replaced an Intel 2230 (Wireless-N, single-band 2.4GHz, Bluetooth 4, WiDi). It's only connected to an 802.11g router, but with this upgrade working well, the next step is to upgrade the router. It's also connected to a WiDi display. My laptop is HP Envy Touchsmart m6-k025dx (Intel i5-4200U CPU), Windows 8.1.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How is this any different from http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Network-7260-HMWG-Wireless-AC-Bluetooth/dp/B00DMCVKMU ?**
A: Thanks for asking. The difference is the .R in the part #, which stands for revised/revision. Intel released the new revised model on September 1, 2014 in order to increase compatibility with existing systems.

**Q: WILL THIS WORK IN HP PAVILLION G7 1150US?**
A: Yes it should. However, HP is notorious for having a whitelist built into their BIOS. BIOS is the basic in/out system, essentially the most basic simple foundation(firmware) that a computer operates with. HP sometimes builds this whitelist into their BIOS to detect and block aftermarket peripherals like WiFi cards that aren't sold by them. They claim all sorts of reasons like FCC certification and what not but the reason truly is that: If you want a laptop with a faster WiFi card, HP would like you to buy a whole new laptop! So, with that let's Google your model number and see what happens!So I do not know what type of Processor you have but your Laptop does indeed have a Whitelist for WiFi or WLAN cards. Here is a list of approved cards for your Laptop depending on your processor:WLAN moduleDescription - Spare part numberFor use on all computer models: Broadcom 4313 802.11b/g/n 1×1 WiFi and 2070 Bluetooth 2.1+EDR Combo adapter (BT3.0+HS ready) 600370-001 Ralink 5390GN 802.11b/g/n 1×1 WiFi Adapter 630703-001Ralink RT3090BC4 802.11b/g/n 1×1 WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR Combo Adapter (BT3.0+HS ready) 630705-001For use only with computer models equipped with an AMD processor: Atheros 9285G 802.11b/g/n 1×1 WiFi Adapter 605560-005Atheros AR8002WB-1NGB 802.11b/g/n 1×1 WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR Combo Adapter (BT3.0+HS ready) 593127-001 Broadcom 4313 802.11b/g/n 1×1 WiFi Adapter 593836-001Broadcom 4313GN 802.11b/g/n 1×1 WiFi and 20702 Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter 657325-001Realtek RTL8191SE 802.11b/g/n 1×1 WiFi Adapter 640926-001Realtek 8188BC8 802.11a/b/g/n 2×2 WiFi and Bluetooth 3.0+HS Combo Adapter 602993-001For use only with computer models equipped with an Intel processor: Atheros 9285G 802.11b/g/n 1×1 WiFi Adapter 518436-001Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 631956-001:smileysad:Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000 593530-001.As you can tell they are all crap. You request a Bios mod at a website/ forum called bios-mod. There you post all your info and backup of your BIOS someone will download, modify, and reupload a modded BIOS for you. They will give step by step instructions in the file they give back to you. I just did this last night for my wife's Lenovo laptop that had the same problem. After I flashed the modified BIOS, I popped in the new WiFi card and all was well!!!! Hope this helps...

**Q: Will this work in an hp envy all in one desktop?  current part is hp 802.11 b-g-n wlan pcie hl mini card 573622-001**
A: In theory, yes. However, at least on their laptops, HP has a nasty habit of locking out un-approved WiFi cards by putting a "white list" of allowed cards into the BIOS firmware. On boot-up, any card model not on that list is disabled. I'm not sure if they use this marketing strategy on their all-in-ones.  Note that even if the card does work, you will likely have to uninstall the previous card's WiFi drivers and install both new WiFi and new Bluetooth drivers from Intel. Rather than using Windows Update, I suggest going directly to the Intel website for drivers at:http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking/intel-wireless-products/intel-wireless-7200-series/intel-dual-band-wireless-ac-7260.html

**Q: Work in Asus N71JQ-XT1 (Base: N71JQ) OS: Win 7 64bit Intel i7 8Gb RAM? (Current PCIe Wifi: AzureWare Model: AR5B95, ATH-AR5B95 supports 802.11 b/g/n)**
A: Yes, but to verify if you need the pci-e adapter, Google what size your card is. I.e. mini, half, full....
