Compact dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module

The Intel 3160NGW is a small wireless card that adds 802.11 ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to a laptop or similar device. It uses an M.2 form factor and connects through a single antenna port. The part is listed as compatible with Dell Inspiron and Vostro lines.

Suits owners of listed Dell models needing

This card fits systems that accept the M.2 keying used by the 3160NGW and that whitelist the N2VFR part number. Buyers whose laptops use a different keying, a different whitelist, or who need a newer Wi-Fi standard should look at other options.

No extra cables, antennas or drivers in the box

The module ships alone, so existing antenna cables must be reused and the operating system must supply or download the appropriate Intel drivers. Nothing in the bundle changes the installation steps or the software setup.

Questions about this item

What slot must my laptop have to accept the 3160NGW card?

The card uses the M.2 form factor, so the laptop must provide a compatible M.2 slot keyed for Wi-Fi modules.

Will the 3160NGW work in an older Dell Inspiron that currently uses a half-height Mini-PCIe card?

No, the 3160NGW is an M.2 module and cannot fit a Mini-PCIe slot without an adapter, which is not included.

How do I confirm the 3160NGW is operating correctly after installation?

In Device Manager the adapter should appear as Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 without error codes, and you should see available 802.11 ac networks.
