Legacy Intel 8265NGW M.2 Wi-Fi 5

This Intel 8265NGW adapter adds Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 to systems with an NGFF M.2 slot. It delivers dual-band 802.11ac connectivity up to 1200Mbps, split between 2.4GHz at 300Mbps and 5GHz at 867Mbps. The card supports Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and 11 on 32-bit or 64-bit platforms, plus Linux kernel 4.1 and newer. It is a direct replacement for devices already using this model.

Suits owners of legacy laptops or desktops

Buyers repairing a machine that originally shipped with the Intel 8265 will find this card a drop-in fit. It works with Intel and AMD platforms alike, provided the motherboard exposes an NGFF M.2 keyed for Wi-Fi. Systems without that slot, or builds that require a newer wireless standard, cannot use this adapter.

NGFF M.2 interface requirement

The single specification that decides fitment is the presence of an NGFF M.2 slot wired for PCIe or CNVi Wi-Fi. Without that physical and electrical interface the card cannot be installed, regardless of operating system or driver support.
