Review on πŸ“Ά Intel Wireless-AC 9260, 2230, 2x2 AC+BT, Gigabit (Non-VPro) by Coby Hall

Great network cards

I recently installed this chip in my Crosshair VI Hero after a thunderstorm destroyed my ethernet port. While it works great. I was a little worried at first as Windows 10 didn't have default drivers for it and it wasn't showing up properly, but I connected my phone to the PC, got the drivers and no problems since. My area doesn't even have decent broadband, but local transmissions are fast for WiFi. I've only used Bluetooth a few times, but there weren't any problems either. It was quite difficult to disassemble my entire rig to install it and the antennas but it was worth it in the end. If you are replacing a laptop module, this is not a problem. However, make sure which antennas you order (or which antennas your laptop has), as there are different types that are not compatible. If you need a fast WiFi/BT module I would highly recommend this one as it's pretty cheap and as far as I know is the last one released by Intel. 10/10

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
