Mini PCI-E wireless card for laptop upgrades

The YINGHUA AR5BHB116 installs in a Mini PCI-E slot to add 802.11 a/b/g/n connectivity. It targets owners of compatible laptops who need a replacement or an additional wireless module. The Qualcomm AR9382 chipset delivers a 300Mbps link rate across 2.4 and 5G bands. HP laptops are explicitly not supported by this adapter.

Half-height board with dual-band antenna leads

The card uses a standard Mini PCI-E edge connector and ships with two U.FL pigtails for external antennas. Build quality follows the reference design for the AR9382, so the board fits the slot without modification in most non-HP chassis. Antenna cables route through existing laptop openings, keeping the install tidy. No Bluetooth function is present on this module.

300Mbps 802.11n decides the fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 300Mbps maximum PHY rate under 802.11n. Buyers who need 802.11ac or ax throughput, or who require Bluetooth, must choose a different part. Driver support covers Windows XP through 10 and Linux kernels with ath9k. The adapter will not meet needs for faster modern Wi-Fi standards.
