BAND-AID

BAND-AID 7260NGW M.2 Wi-Fi Adapter Bluetooth 4.0 867Mbps

SKU CH-RR5Y-HTZGC

An M.2 wireless adapter adding dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi up to 867 Mbps and Bluetooth 4.0 to compatible Lenovo ThinkPad models

  • TypeM.2 Wi-FI Adapter
  • 867 Mbps peak Wi-Fi speed with 2×2 802.11ac streams
  • Bluetooth 4.0 low-energy connects headsets, keyboards and mice
  • M.2 NGFF form factor fits listed ThinkPad models
  • Dual-band 2.4 / 5 GHz operation on Windows 7, 8, 10
  • Requires motherboard USB bus enabled for Bluetooth function

Compatible ThinkPad Upgrade

This NGFF M.2 wireless adapter fits specific Lenovo ThinkPad models including T440, T540, X240, W540, L440 and L540. It replaces FRU 04X6007 and provides 802.11ac Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth 4.0 on supported Windows 7, 8 and 10 systems. Buyers whose laptop uses a half Mini PCIe slot cannot use this card.

Thermals and Power

The adapter draws power from the M.2 slot and operates on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands with 2x2 streams up to 867 Mbps. No active cooling is required and the card runs silently. Bluetooth function depends on the motherboard exposing a USB bus; if that bus is not enabled, Bluetooth will not appear in Device Manager.

Build and Connectors

The NGFF keyed connector prevents installation in half Mini PCIe sockets, so physical compatibility must be verified before purchase. The card is not supported on non-Lenovo laptops. Windows driver support covers versions 7, 8 and 10 only.

Questions about this item

How do I install the M.2 7260NGW adapter in a ThinkPad T440, and which step do people miss?

Insert the card into the NGFF M.2 slot at a 30-degree angle, press down and secure with the screw; the step often missed is confirming the motherboard has an active USB bus so Bluetooth 4.0 can be recognised in Device Manager.

What maintenance or replacement will the 7260NGW need over time?

No scheduled maintenance is required; if wireless performance degrades, reseat the card and check antenna cables, otherwise replace the adapter only if it fails.

What limit appears first during sustained high-throughput use of the 867 Mbps 2x2 AC link?

The 867 Mbps PHY ceiling is reached before any other bottleneck, so sustained throughput cannot exceed that rate.
