Legacy M.2 Wi-Fi Adapter

The Intel 3160NGW AC3160 is a Wireless-AC 3160 chipset card using an NGFF M.2 PCIe interface. It delivers IEEE 802.11AC WiFi 5 with dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz operation plus Bluetooth 4.0 support. Driver installation is required on Windows and compilation on Linux kernel 4.1+ systems. The manufacturer has discontinued this model and limits it to replacement use in systems already equipped with this part.

Replacement for existing 3160NGW installations

This adapter suits owners of laptops, desktops or industrial devices that already use the Intel Wireless-AC 3160 and have a free NGFF M.2 slot. It supports Windows 7 32/64bit, Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and 11 64bit. Do not buy this card to add wireless to a system that never had it or to upgrade to a newer wireless standard. It is not for builds lacking an M.2 slot or for users unwilling to install drivers manually.

NGFF M.2 slot requirement

The single specification that decides fitment is the presence of an NGFF M.2 keyed slot on the motherboard. Without that slot the card cannot be installed regardless of operating system or driver effort. Verify the slot type before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the 3160NGW need an M.2 E-key slot or an M-key slot?

The adapter uses the NGFF M.2 interface and requires an M.2 E-key slot on the motherboard.

What is the driver step that often gets skipped on Windows?

Windows 10 and 11 require manual driver installation for the Intel 3160 chipset; the card will not work until the correct driver is installed.

When will the Bluetooth 4.0 radio need a firmware update?

Bluetooth 4.0 firmware updates are delivered through Windows Update or the Linux kernel 4.1+ package; apply them when the OS notifies you.
