Dual-band Mini PCIe Wi-Fi 5 adapter

This Intel 3160.HMWG.R module adds Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4 connectivity plus Bluetooth 4.0 to laptops or small-form-factor desktops with a Mini PCI Express slot. It suits users upgrading older hardware that lacks modern wireless support.

433Mbps peak rate on 2.4 and 5 GHz bands

The 1x1 AC link delivers up to 433Mbps under IEEE 802.11ac, adequate for web browsing, streaming and typical office workloads. Heavy file transfers or saturated multi-user environments will exceed the single-stream throughput headroom.

Mini PCI Express half-height form factor

Installation requires a compatible Mini PCIe connector and antenna leads; systems without that slot cannot use this adapter. Buyers needing M.2 Key E or soldered-down wireless must choose a different part.

Questions about this item

Will the Mini PCI Express slot on my older laptop accept the 3160.HMWG.R adapter?

The card uses a Mini PCI Express interface, so it fits any standard Mini PCI Express slot; verify your device has a free half-size slot before installation.

How can I confirm the 3160.HMWG.R is delivering 433 Mbps after I install it?

Check the link speed in your OS network status or run a local throughput test; a 1x1 AC connection on 5 GHz should report a 433 Mbps PHY rate when conditions allow.

Does the brown-box 3160.HMWG.R include antennas and cables or must I buy them separately?

The brown-box package contains only the adapter module; two compatible U.FL antennas and pigtail cables are required and sold separately.
