SKU CH-PQ3E-326WE

Dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 in an M.2 2230 CNVi card for Intel laptops

  • Up to 1.73 Gbps combined throughput with 802.11ac Wave 2 dual-band Wi-Fi
  • 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 1430 Mbps on 5 GHz with 160 MHz channel support
  • MU-MIMO improves multi-device concurrency and lowers latency for gaming and streaming
  • Integrated Bluetooth 5.0 connects mice, keyboards, headsets and other peripherals
  • M.2 2230 CNVi form factor fits Intel CNVi-compatible laptop slots for Windows 10 upgrades

Compatibility and interface

This Killer 1550i AC 9560NGW card uses an M.2 2230 NGFF CNVi interface. It requires an Intel platform with a CNVi-supported mainboard slot and will not work with standard PCIe-based M.2 Key E slots or AMD platforms. It is engineered for Windows 10 and needs the matched driver to activate full WiFi and Bluetooth functions. The compact 22×30 mm form factor fits inside compatible laptop internal spaces.

Ideal use cases and limits

This adapter suits owners of compatible Intel-based laptops who want to upgrade or replace an existing CNVi wireless module for improved dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. It is not suitable for systems lacking CNVi support, for AMD-based devices, or for desktop motherboards with standard Key E slots. Buyers needing a universal PCIe or USB wireless solution should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification

The single specification that determines fit is the CNVi interface requirement. Only laptops with an Intel CNVi-enabled M.2 2230 slot can use this card; all other slot types are incompatible regardless of physical size. Verify your mainboard documentation for CNVi support before purchase.
