Compact wireless upgrade for older laptops

The Intel 3160.HMWG.R is a half-height Mini PCIe card that adds dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 to compatible notebooks or small-form-factor boards. It targets owners of legacy systems needing modern 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz connectivity without replacing the whole machine.

Limited to single-stream 433 Mbps throughput

The adapter uses a 1x1 antenna configuration, so maximum link speed is 433 Mbps on the 5.8 GHz band and lower on 2.4 GHz. Real-world throughput will be well below that figure, especially at range or through walls. Bluetooth 4.0 handles peripherals but lacks the bandwidth of newer versions.

Replaces single-band B/G/N cards lacking AC

Swapping out an older half-height Mini PCIe module that only supports 2.4 GHz B/G/N adds 5.8 GHz AC capability and integrated Bluetooth 4.0 in one step. The upgrade is worthwhile when the chassis has an available Mini PCIe slot and the BIOS whitelist permits this Intel 3160 card.

Questions about this item

Which version of this Intel 3160 adapter should I pick for my laptop?

This is a single SKU — the pink 1x1 AC card with Bluetooth 4.0 and included mounting screws — so there is no version choice to make.

What does the 433 Mbps figure mean once the card is installed?

433 Mbps is the maximum PHY link rate on a 5.8 GHz 1x1 stream; actual throughput will be lower due to overhead and signal conditions.

What interface does the 3160 use and what does that limit in practice?

It uses a half-height Mini PCIe slot, which provides both the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 connections through the same connector.
