Quite OK
Basically good. I was only a little disappointed that neither the screw nor the antenna was included. The description of this product is also so inadequate that not even Digitec's customer service contacted me after "internal clarifications", although this was agreed in the webchat.
Well, to save you the possibly long search for some info:
* Screw and antenna are NOT included.
* The connection of the antenna is called MHF IV
* Basically a 2.4GHz antenna is enough for Bluetooth and WLAN, to use the 5GHz frequency additionally a second antenna is needed.
* AUX for WLAN 2.4GHz + Bluetooth // Main for WLAN 5GHzGreat product and working directly
Works well on my Dell XPS 15 9570.
This was used to change my OEM Killer chip. It was not super consistent with my Linksys Velop network router.
Now it is working perfectly on windows and ubuntu. No need for fancy drivers or others. Both OS have direct working drivers, just installed the latest drivers from Intel to be sure.Pro
- Plug and play for my XPS and compatible laptops
Works great!
It comes without an antenna or a screw, just FYI.

- Everyting as expected
As a replacement for a Dell1830 Wifi Card in a Dell XPS 9550 notebook.
Does what it is supposed to do. In contrast to the Dell1830, it is very reliable. The only disadvantage is that the card changes the Mac address several times per session, even though I explicitly set Windows 10 not to do so. The Wifi setting was also set so that the MAC address should not be changed. Annoying with a copy protection that uses the MAC address (yes there is, Microchip XC8/XC16 and XC32 compiler in the Pro version) as a reference. Mathematica 12.1 did not complain. Matlab and Maple wanted a new HostID, but then can handle the changing MAC address as they only detected the hardware change.
Although the Intel card is only a 2x2 card, compared to the Dell1830 which is a 3x3 card, I have a throughput of about 650MB (upload and download), depending on the location in the flat.Pro
- Easy installation
- Reliable
Contra
- Unfortunately, the Intel 9260 is only available as a 2x2 card.
- MAC address changes constantly
Exactly what I was looking for
My new Lenovo Thinkpad E595 was unfortunately equipped with a lousy wireless card from Realtekt. Connection interruptions sometimes every minute. After installing this Intel card, everything works wonderfully, no more interruptions for days.
Very fast wifi
Pro
- Quick
- It costs little
