Intel 1030 802.11 a/b/g/n card

The Intel 1030 wireless network card operates on the 2.4GHz band with a maximum link rate of 300Mbps. It supports 802.11 a/b/g/n protocols for compatibility with older wireless networks. This half-mini PCIe card is designed for laptops or small form factor systems with a compatible slot. It is not suited for users requiring 5GHz operation or newer Wi-Fi standards.

Installation and common issues

The card inserts into a half-mini PCIe socket and typically requires two antenna cables for full performance. Driver support is built into most modern operating systems, though legacy OS versions may need a manual download. A frequent problem is loose antenna connectors causing intermittent signal or reduced throughput. Verify the slot keying matches the card before applying pressure.

Pre-purchase checklist

Confirm your device has a free half-mini PCIe slot wired for Wi-Fi and not reserved for other functions. Check that two U.FL antenna pigtails are present and routed to the chassis. Ensure the system BIOS does not whitelist specific wireless modules, which would block this card. Buyers needing Bluetooth or dual-band capability should consider other options.
