  • Bluetooth 5.0 enables fast wireless peripheral connections

Laptop Wi-Fi 5 upgrade card

The HighZer0 Electronics 9260NGW adds Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0 to Intel-based laptops running 64-bit Windows 10. It fits an M.2 2230 slot keyed A or E and does not support vPro technology. This adapter is not for machines that already use a 9560 CNVI part or for non-Intel platforms.

Sustained throughput capability

The module can deliver up to 1.73Gbps throughput, which is nearly 12x faster than baseline 1x1 BGN at 150Mbps. MU-MIMO support helps maintain throughput when multiple devices share the same access point. Performance will vary with antenna quality, driver version and network congestion.

Deciding specification — M.2 2230 Key A/E slot

Your laptop must have a free M.2 2230 slot with Key A or Key E and run 64-bit Windows 10 on an Intel platform without a 9560 CNVI part. If the slot is absent, keyed differently or the system uses the newer CNVI interface, this card will not work.

Questions about this item

Does the 9260NGW draw much power or generate noticeable heat when running all day?

The module is a low-power M.2 2230 card designed for laptop use; it draws only the power supplied by the Key A or Key E slot and runs cool under continuous Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0 workloads.

What must my laptop already have for this adapter to work?

An Intel-based system running Windows 10 64-bit with a free M.2 Key A or Key E slot that does not already use a 9560 CNVI part.

Will the 9260NGW coexist with an older 1x1 BGN Wi-Fi card I keep in another slot?

Yes — the adapter provides up to 1.73 Gbps Wi-Fi 5 performance while the legacy 150 Mbps BGN radio operates independently on the same platform.
