What this card is and who needs it
The Intel Wireless-AC 9462NGW is an M.2 CNVio Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.1 module built for 8th-9th Gen Intel laptops. It delivers up to 433 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands with MU-MIMO. This part is only a drop-in replacement for systems already using the 9462NGW; it will not work in desktops, AMD platforms, or standard M.2 PCIe slots.
Practical limits of the CNVio interface
The adapter requires a Key E M.2 CNVio slot, which is not the same as a regular M.2 PCIe Wi-Fi slot. It needs 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 or Linux and an 8th-9th Gen Intel CPU. No antenna or mounting screw is included. The card is discontinued, so stock is limited to existing replacement demand.
The spec that decides fit
The single deciding factor is the M.2 CNVio (not CNVio2) Key E interface paired with an 8th-9th Gen Intel processor. Without that exact slot and CPU generation the module will not be recognised. Buyers who need a desktop Wi-Fi card, AMD compatibility, or a standard PCIe M.2 adapter must choose a different product.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 9462NGW or the 9260 model?
The 9462NGW is a legacy CNVio card for 8th-9th Gen Intel CPUs with M.2 Key E slots; the 9260 is suggested if you are unsure about compatibility.
What does 433Mbps mean once the card is installed?
It is the maximum physical-layer rate for a single-stream 802.11ac link on 2.4 or 5 GHz; real-world throughput will be lower due to overhead and signal conditions.
What does the CNVio interface cap in practice?
The card requires an M.2 CNVio (not CNVio2) Key E slot and works only with 8th-9th Gen Intel CPUs running Windows 10/11 64-bit or Linux.
