Wireless AC 7265 dual-band adapter

The Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 adds 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 to laptops or small-form-factor desktops with an M.2 slot. It targets users upgrading older internal wireless cards or building compact systems that lack integrated connectivity.

867 Mbps peak throughput with 2x2 streams

The 2x2 antenna design delivers download speeds up to 867 Mbps under ideal conditions. Real-world throughput drops with distance, obstacles or single-antenna configurations, and the adapter cannot exceed the 867 Mbps physical-layer ceiling.

M.2 2230 form factor requires dual antennas

The card fits M.2 2230 keyed slots and needs two attached antennas for both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth operation. It does not support HP or Lenovo platforms, so builders must verify whitelist compatibility before installation.

Questions about this item

Will this 7265NGW card work in my older laptop that has an M.2 slot?

The card uses an M.2 interface compatible with the latest laptops; verify your older laptop's M.2 keying and BIOS whitelist before installing.

How can I confirm the 867 Mbps link speed is active after installing the 7265NGW?

Check the wireless adapter properties in your OS; the link speed should show 867 Mbps when connected to a compatible 802.11ac router.

Are the two required antennas included with the 7265NGW or must I buy them separately?

Antennas are not included; you must supply two compatible MHF4 pigtail antennas to use both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0.
