Review: A great buy for PCs + a nearby 5GHz-Emitting WiFi modem + a super-fast ISP! - Purchased this little guy after finding out my Dell XPS 8900 Desktop had a single-band (2.4 GHz) wireless card of same structure (Remember, this is for the M.2 slot, formerly NGFF, of 3320/sometimes called "half-height" size). With a cable modem with dual-band wifi at 75 Mbps from my ISP at my disposal, I was severely throttled by this stock card!! Agree with rest of reviews -- BE SURE TO GET INTEL DRIVERS FIRST onto the computer receiving this little guy BEFORE you install it! Just do a Google search for "Intel Wireless 8260 Driver". Drivers install without issue and begins to work immediately without restart! After purchasing this, I connected to the 5GHz Wifi, and my connection speeds (per Speedtest of ~33-34 mbps on 2.4GHz) improved to 70-75mbps (5 GHz)!! Easy to install. *Does* come with mounting screw. Side tangent about "Dual Band" or "Wireless-AC", which means both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz -- Keep in mind, 5 GHz means more bandwidth with less interference -- but less Wi-Fi range. In my case, this connection functioned with the modem in the living room and the desktop in the corner of a study -- about 15-20 feet walk around the corner via the hallway, with ~3 feet of drywall. Still got 3 out of 4 bars! However, I got very weak signal while being outside adjacent to the side-door, 20 feet away as well, but through brick walls. So, if you got a setup that's within the same floor with mostly drywall, you'll most likely not have any issues with wifi range -- going from basement to upper floors (or to outside), however, might be an issue. Also, keep in mind, if you got less than 35 mbps internet connection with your ISP, having 5 GHz will provide minimal benefit (save for less interference if, for example, you live in apartment complex with multiple wifi networks in small location). Ahem, back to topic. A great buy for desktops/laptops alike, highly recommended!! Review: Great Card, but make sure to do a clean Windows install - Installed this on my MSI Ghost Pro 4K model 238. The laptop shipped with a Killer 1535 but it was unable to fully utilize my 200mbps internet speed. It would only get about 25 - 90mbps. I also had problems with the card radnomly disconnecting from my network and then reconnecting a minute later. This card, Intel 8260, allows me to utilize the full 200mbps with no lag or random disconnects. Though I did have alot of issues with the bluetooth randomly disconnecting whenever the computer went to sleep. Possibly a driver issue. Anyway, I did a clean install of windows and it appears to have finished the problem. This is a great card and much better than the Killer 1535 as long as you're willing to do a new, clean install of windows after you install this card on your system. ## Features - Intel Ac 8260 Ieee 802.11ac Bluetooth 4.2 - Wi-fi/bluetooth Combo Adapter - Mini Pci Express - 867 Mbit/s - 2.40 Ghz Ism - 5 Ghz Unii - Internal - Low-profile ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0197W86IE | | Best Sellers Rank | #730 in Internal Computer Networking Cards | | Brand | Intel | | Color | Brown | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Compatible Operating System Family | Windows | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (328) | | Data Link Protocol | Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11ac | | Data Transfer Rate | 867 Megabits Per Second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00675901336208, 00713463100155 | | Hardware Interface | Bluetooth | | Item Weight | 0.04 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Intel Corporation | | Mfr Part Number | 8260.NGWMG | | Minimum Required Operating System Version | Windows 10 | | Model Number | 8260.NGWMG | | UPC | 735858302739 625485495624 675901336208 713463100155 625485495815 713463100940 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Intel - **Color:** Brown - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Compatible Operating System Family:** Windows - **Data Link Protocol:** Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11ac - **Data Transfer Rate:** 867 Megabits Per Second - **Hardware Interface:** Bluetooth - **Item Weight:** 0.04 Kilograms - **Minimum Required Operating System Version:** Windows 10 - **UPC:** 735858302739 625485495624 675901336208 713463100155 625485495815 713463100940 ## Images ![8260 IEEE 802.11ac - Wi-Fi Adapter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6107Djt9HUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great buy for PCs + a nearby 5GHz-Emitting WiFi modem + a super-fast ISP! *by C***A on May 25, 2016* Purchased this little guy after finding out my Dell XPS 8900 Desktop had a single-band (2.4 GHz) wireless card of same structure (Remember, this is for the M.2 slot, formerly NGFF, of 3320/sometimes called "half-height" size).

Easy install! *by D***. on August 14, 2016* Relief, reliable wifi on my Dell XPS 13 9350. The stock Dell 1820A Broadcom wifi card in this otherwise wonderful device was a pain as it would always disconnect when awakening from sleep, the range was quite short either on 2.4 or 5 GHz, balky Bluetooth which would slow wifi to a crawl, etc. After seeing reports of good reception and performance with this unit and seeing they are installed on the Ubuntu versions of the XPS 13 I installed it. The new card works like a charm, just had to do a few things to get it up and running but now now problems and over 125 M downloads. Very happy with this vendor and product. For those making the transition here's a few tips: 1. Before you do anything - go to the Intel site and download the wifi and Bluetooth driver packages so you'll have something to get the card installed when you start up. 2. Go into Programs and uninstall the Broadcom WIDCOMM application, the Bluetooth application and anything else named Broadcom. 3. Go into device manager and turn off Bluetooth and uninstall the wifi driver. 4. Reboot and check that the wifi card has a triangle next to it in device manager. 5. Crack open the XPS 13 (there is a Phillips screw under the magnetic plate on back) using a Torx T5. 6. Unscrew the plate at the top of the wifi card and remove the two antenna wires carefully with tweezers. 7. Remove and replace the new Intel card. Attach the antenna wires (they just push on) matching the black and white symbols. 8. Reattach the plate and screw to secure the wifi card and close up the case. 9. Boot up - Win 10 will recognize the wifi card immediately and install the driver. 10. Open up the updated Intel drivers and install wifi followed by Bluetooth. 11. Reboot and reconnect to wifi and Bluetooth. You're good to go. Test the device through a few sleep cycles and reboots and all should be good. Truly painless. ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel 8260 IEEE 802.11ac - Wi-Fi Adapter - WiFi Antenna 8dBi RP-SMA Male 2.4Ghz 5.8Ghz Dual Band + 10in U.FL IPEX MHF4 to RP SMA Female Extension Cable for M.2 NGFF + Computer Back Slot Cover Bracket - Bingfu M.2 WiFi Antenna 2.4GHz 5GHz 5.8GHz 3dBi MIMO RP-SMA Male (2-Pack) + 2 x 12 inch Ngff Ipex4 to Rp-SMA Cable for M.2 NGFF Intel Wireless Network Card WiFi Adapter Laptop --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/24521890-8260-ieee-802-11ac-wi-fi-adapter](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/24521890-8260-ieee-802-11ac-wi-fi-adapter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
