ATTENTION! Incredibly fragile wiring

I'm a computer engineer. This is the second one I've bought. Despite careful handling, the antenna wires detached very easily from both circuit boards. You might think Intel has excellent quality control, but obviously there is a manufacturing issue. It's time to buy another brand.

  • Acceptable

Kit includes dual antennas

Kit includes dual antennas and connecting cables. It also comes with 2 different sized brackets (PC slot). This is compatible with the NVidia Jetson Nano module. It was recognized immediately and worked without a huge download of drivers or updates.

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
  • Not bad

Great product: Easy to install

The device works great: it eliminates the need for a PCI Express adapter and is much faster than a PCI Express adapter. My motherboard didn't have a screw to hold the device, so I had to find/buy the right hardware. The device works without one, but it would be nice if one was included.

Pros
  • Looking forward to
Cons
  • May damage

Gigabyte Aero 15 Compatibility

I have a Gigabyte Aero 15 laptop with a faulty network card. This has been happening intermittently for several years, sometimes blue screen with Ntwrk06 error. Most of the time it didn't work even if the operating system was stable. I've tried every driver update I could find but to no avail. Eventually I changed it to this one. This isn't a very difficult setup, but it can be intimidating for some. Open the bottom of the computer, tear off a piece of tape, two antennas and one screw. reverse…

Pros
  • Regular Price
Cons
  • Easy Repairability

Five minutes from N-150 to AC-867

I ordered this kit because I wanted it shipped from the US warehouse - I've spent too many weeks waiting for shipments from China wait - it's not worth saving. 8265 card for Dell laptop. Dell's OEM WiFi was N-150/2.4GHz - not very good considering Win10 has big "upgrades" every two years. The kit was nothing more than just a card and I will use the antennas elsewhere. I chose the 8265 as the newer 9560 will not be any faster without upgrading my router. Luckily the card was on my Dell laptop…

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Makes me angry

Works great for networking products

Works great. The cables are a little long for an M.2 motherboard with an I/O board, but I managed. Board termination cables are IPEX/MPH4 compliant with bulkheads and RP-SMA antennas.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was

Ready to use

This was my first time using the Intel version of this module, but it worked right away on my NVIDIA Nano. The only downside is that the antenna cables are longer than necessary to install in the nano case.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Weight
