Compact HMC wireless card for laptop upgrades

The Intel 3160.HMWWB.R is a half-height Mini-PCIe module that adds Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.0 to notebooks or small-form-factor systems with a compatible slot. It operates on 2.4 and 5 GHz bands with a 1x1 stream configuration rated at 433 Mbps maximum throughput. The card also supports Intel Wireless Display for cable-free screen sharing.

Replaces older Wi-Fi 4 or single-band modules

Swapping a legacy 802.11n adapter for this dual-band card restores 5 GHz connectivity and adds Bluetooth 4.0 in one step. The upgrade is worthwhile when the existing slot uses PCIe or USB signalling and the antenna cables reach the MHF4 connectors on the green-and-white board.

Verify slot type, antenna count and OS support

Confirm the platform provides a half Mini-PCIe socket wired for PCIe and USB interfaces, not mSATA. Two antenna leads are required for full dual-band operation. Supported operating systems include Windows 7, Windows 8 and Linux with limited features; newer releases may need manual driver installation.
