Review: Outstanding performance, but may be overkill for some - First off, I pay for 60 Mbps internet and only have a dual band wireless N router... So this card is overkill for my set up as it probably will be for most people. However, for only $25 (at the time of this review), this is one of the few times overkill is very affordable. More importantly, I can take the card with me to my next computer. Performance: I get 58 - 65 Mbps performance (that is full speed from my ISP) on this card from anywhere in our normal sized house on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz wireless-n band. To put it in some perspective, I get same performance from my HTC One M8 on the 5 GHz band within 10 - 20 ft from router, but performance drops off to 40 Mbps at about 35 ft for my HTC One M8, but stays at 60 Mbps for this card. All tests done using speedtest.net. Takes under 3 seconds to connect to a known network when you manually select it in Windows. No dropped connections ever. Connects to the default network as fast as computer can automatically log me in after booting up (Windows 10 on SSD). Bluetooth works great as well (although I had to put some tape on one of the pins to get it working, more details later). Where it also shines is connecting between devices on the same network (like Windows Remote Desktop Connection or Xbox One streaming to Windows 10). I loved it so much that I am getting one for my newly built desktop (with an adapter for PCIe of course). In fact, cost of this card and an adapter is cheaper than the high end desktop AC wireless cards. Pros: Easy to set up and Windows automatically got drivers for me after detecting it after a few reboots. One of the few internal parts (along with your SSD) that you can expect to take with you when you upgrade your entire computer. Cons: For the average person, cheaper $5 - $15 802.11n cards will give them all the performance their network set up can provide and this card could be a bit of an overkill. P.S: For those trying to use this on Lenovo laptops, it is still usable but it will not be simple. First off, you will need to flash your BIOS to remove the wi-fi card white list or add this card to it. Also, you will have to physically add a tiny cut of tape to cover one of the pins directly on the card (pin 51 I believe) to get Bluetooth to work at all.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can anyone explain the difference between 7260.HMWWB.R and 7260.HMWG.R?  I searched the Intel website and could not find an explanation.  ???**
A: There really is no difference.   The HMWWB.R and the HMWG.R are ordering codes Intel uses - basically there are different ways they package them.   You can see that both ordering codes (and a whole bunch others) are all listed on the Intel site with the same spec'd product, and the same CCATS (Commodity Classification Automated Tracking - which they must report for Exporting.)http://ark.intel.com/products/75439/Intel-Dual-Band-Wireless-AC-7260#@ordering

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Greatly Improved Laptop with This Modest Investment! ****** UPDATED
*by J***O on July 20, 2019*

I loved that it was so easy to install! This was purchased to upgrade the WiFi Card in my Dell Inspiron 17R SE 7720 Laptop. I wanted to make the 5Ghz band accessible on it. The original card only allowed access to the 2.4GHZ band. I installed it in fewer than ten minutes, using only a jewelers screwdriver. Once installed, I turned on the Laptop and the drivers were automatically discovered, downloaded, and installed by Widows 10 Pro. The Internet Menu now showed both Bands ... so I just selected the 5Ghz band and was able to operate IMMEDIATELY. A speed test showed download speed of 175 Mbps on the 5GHZ band compared to the 80 Mbps achieved with the original card on the 2.4GHZ band. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase, which was seamless. I now have an improved Laptop that lets me work quickly! ****** UPDATE: I purchased another one of these for my Dell XPS17(L702x) Laptop. Once again, the download speed was greatly increased (2 1/2 fold) simply by having and using the 5GHz band. Installing this card in the XPS17(L702x) was fairly difficult. It required some deep surgery, requiring removal of both the the palm guard and the keypad. That involved removal and reinstallation of tiny screws and four ribbon cables that were very delicate. It took 3x as long as the Inspiron17SE7720 install. The latter merely required an easy removal of the rear cover. Biput BOTH laps are operating beautifully!
