Review on πŸ’» 7260HMW Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Network Adapter with Bluetooth and PCI Express Half Mini Card for 802.11 b/a/g/n/ac Networks by Aaron Zaragosa

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly what I needed, pretty easy to install and works great!

Having ordered another card from another seller that was not promised, after much research I am pretty sure this card is the one I ordered for the HP ENVY 15 (15t-k000, G0T55AV ) my wife need if it is exact). (And even if I'm wrong somewhere, it works great.) The HP service manual lists three wireless modules, and this is the best of the three. It's even a non-vPro version. Based on too many reviews and confusing Intel docs, "TA:H42618-002" indicates it is a 7260.HMWG.NVR card with MM# 936139. As I understand now HMW is a card format G refers to Intel's order size and pretty much pointless, NV is the non-vPro part and R is for the patched version (TA:H is also supported which is the first card that I ordered did NOT have). Oh, and in case anyone doesn't know, "PTA Approved Model" has to do with usage in Pakistan. So the product is exactly as shown/listed and has worked for me with no issues. The only thing I would like to point out is that Windows 10 installs Wi-Fi drivers without internet, so I think you can get internet but not via bluetooth. Initially there was no bluetooth and no unknown device in device manager but once the internet connection was established voila everything is fine.

Pros
  • Pleasing
