Desktop PCIe Wi-Fi upgrade

The YINGHUA 9260AC is a PCIe 1x wireless adapter that adds dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi to a desktop computer. It uses an Intel 9260AC core and ships with two 8DB antennas and a Bluetooth cable. The card supports the IEEE 802.11ac standard and MU-MIMO technology.

Who should consider this

Builders adding Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to a desktop with a free PCIe 1x slot will find this card suitable. It supports Windows 10 and delivers up to 300M on 2.4Ghz and 1733M on 5Ghz. Buyers needing Linux or older Windows support should verify compatibility before purchasing.

Maximum wireless rate

The adapter reaches a 5Ghz rate of 1733M and a 2.4Ghz rate of 300M under the 802.11ac standard. These speeds let a 500M broadband connection run at full capacity. The single spec that decides fit is whether your desktop has an open PCIe 1x slot for installation.

Questions about this item

Will the 8 dBi antennas on the 9260AC need periodic replacement?

The two 8 dBi antennas are detachable for positioning; they do not wear out in normal use and only need replacement if physically damaged.

What limits sustained throughput on the 5 GHz 1733 M link?

The PCIe 1x interface and 802.11ac PHY cap the practical ceiling, so extended transfers top out below the 1733 M rate.

How much heat and power does the card draw during all-day 500 M broadband use?

The Intel 9260AC core runs cool on PCIe slot power alone; no extra power connector or active cooling is required.
