Replacement Wi-Fi 5 card

This Intel 3165NGW adapter restores dual-band Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.0 to a laptop or desktop that already uses this exact module. It is a direct swap for a failed or missing original card in systems with an NGFF M.2 slot.

NGFF M.2 slot required

The card only fits a motherboard or laptop that provides an NGFF M.2 keyed for Wi-Fi. Without that specific slot the adapter cannot be installed, and no other interface will work.

Driver installation needed

Windows 10 and 11 require a driver download before the radio appears; Linux kernel 4.1 or newer needs the module compiled. Antenna cables must be snapped onto the two U.FL connectors or range will be very poor.

Questions about this item

What real-world throughput does the 433 Mbps Wi-Fi 5 rating deliver inside a laptop?

The 433 Mbps figure is the PHY link rate of the 3165 chipset on a single 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz stream; actual file-transfer speeds will be lower due to overhead, signal quality and router capability.

What does the NGFF M.2 Wi-Fi 5 interface cap in practice?

The card uses an M.2 2230 E-key slot with PCIe and USB lines; bandwidth is limited by the 3165 chipset to Wi-Fi 5 1×1 and Bluetooth 4.0, not by the M.2 bus itself.

What physical slot and antenna connectors does the green-and-white 3165 card need?

It requires an NGFF M.2 2230 E-key slot and two U.FL antenna pigtails for the dual-band Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.0 radios.
