Review on πŸ“Ά High-Speed Dual Band Wireless-AC 9260NGW WiFi Card with Bluetooth 5.0 – M.2 NGFF 1.73Gbps Gigabit by David Pirlet

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Supports 160MHz as described!

Replaced an old Intel 8260NGW with this 9260NGW and so far I am very satisfied. I upgraded my Ubiquiti Unifi-HD WAP to a 5GHz radio for 160MHz channels. As can be seen in my photo, the card connects easily at 1.5 Gbps. I tested throughput by moving a large file between a computer-connected desktop and my laptop. Admittedly I'm only getting 1Gbps since running it on a desktop computer, but I'm currently only getting 1Gbps from WAP to the switch. I'm running a second line to use the secondary ethernet port on the WAP in the LAG so I can get 2Gbps everywhere. Why might that be asked? Because when moving large files, although it may be limited to 1Gbps, I can still surf the internet, download, etc. and have no major speed issues due to large file transfers. Overall I am very happy with this purchase! I'm using Windows 10 Pro and it found the card and drivers straight away. Works on MSI laptops.

Pros
  • DO NOT USE ON AMD processors, USE ONLY ON INTEL processors
