Why didn't I replace my POS WiFi/Bluetooth device sooner? - I replaced the Dell DW 1820a (Broadcom) card on my Dell XPS 13 9350 with the INtel Wireless AC 9260 today, and the only thing I am asking myself now is, "Why didn't I do this sooner with any number if Intel cards that are superior to this OEM POS?" The most noticeable problems I experienced with the Dell/Broadcom device were: (1) marginal reception and sluggish performance in the 5 GHz channel with my Netgear Nighthawk R7000 and (2) complete dropouts when I closed the laptop cover (when my computer was attached to external monitor(s) via the USB-C port. At first, I thought that the WiFi antenna wires might be crimped or damaged inside the laptop. So, when I replaced the 128 GB M.2 drive with an upgraded 256 GB M.2, I checked. The wires were fine. Unfortunately, when I opened the screen, it acted like an antenna to boost the WiFi signal. With the lid closed, the reception/signal dropped. I tried new/updated drivers from Dell, but experienced the same result -- poor reception. The only way I was able to rectify the problem (before replacing the WiFi/Bluetooth card, was to change the 5 GHz channel on my router to 48, rather than the higher speed frequencies: 149, 153, 1578 or 161. Now, my router is set at 161, in a very dense WiFi environment, and I am experiencing no hiccups or dropouts. And, my laptop cover is fully closed when connected to my external monitor. In addition, I find that my Bluetooth connectivity is much less finicky. I have several devices connected via Bluetooth: a Logitech Keyboard (K480), two Logitech Speakers (X300), a Logitech mouse, an Oontz Angle 3 speaker, a pair of Aukey EB-40 earbuds, and a pair of ActivBuds S250 earbuds. My Windows 10 Pr0 (64-bit) Dell XPS 9350 found and reconnected all of these Bluetooth devices without issue once I installed the new Intel Wireless AC-9260. Here are a couple of notes regarding software and hardware install. One, download the current network drivers (WiFi) and Bluetooth drivers from the Intel website and save to a folder on the hard drive or to a flash drive. *I did not install the drivers before I installed the card. Two, uninstall all device drives for your previous WiFi/Bluetooth card before installation of the new hardware. Note: I did not delete the driver files from Windows 10 Pro. I simply uninstalled them. Clearly, one could delete all of the residual driver files where/when appropriate. Three, ground yourself (or use a grounding strap) before you open your case. Four, open your case and detach the battery cable from the motherboard. Five, remove the antenna cables from your card. Six, remove your old WiFi/Bluetooth card. Seven, insert your new WiFi/Bluetooth card. Eight, attach the antenna cables to your new card. *This can be difficult and frustrating. A magnifying glass, even for people with 20/20 vision, would make it much easier. Nine, close your case, making sure the antenna wires are attached and not crimped when reattaching them to the WiFi/Bluetooth card. Ten, boot your computer to make sure the device is recognized. If so, then eleven, install and test the Intel WiFi/Bluetooth drivers. This installation was a piece of cake. The worst part of the process is attaching the tiny antenna wires. I would have hated to find out that my connectors weren't compatible with this device. Luckily, I researched it ahead of time, and had no problem besides my fat fingers ad the utter tedium. *UPDATE: If you received any BSOD errors after installing this card, it could be due to old driver files/remnants. If so, search "Remove Old Drivers on Windows PC" on thewindowsclub.com to show how to reveal and remove all old drivers of devices you know are no longer connected to your device. Be careful not to remove drivers for devices that are not currently attached.

I installed one in a new HP 14-dk0022wm laptop which came with a Realtek card that would not work with Linux. The laptop has an AMD Ryzen3 processor and it works just fine. **Q: Hi, do you know if i can install this card into my lenovo 80xt0000us?** A: I tried to install this card on my W540 and it would not even let the machine boot. Looks like Lenovo requires you to purchase a card from them even though it looks identical. **Q: I want to replace intel ac-3165 that came with dell 7559, will this work on it?** A: I just did this upgrade. If you have the Intel cpu in it. It doubled my Wifi speeds to the max of my plan 240Mbps and expect it to go beyond this if I get faster ISP speeds. I first tried a $300 router from amazon with 8 antennas that also gave a stong signal and good speeds not this high), but that router kept dropping every device' Wifi connection. My 2 year old Asus router is now pushing strong speeds and signal though multiple walls and floors to this card. Read my review to not mix up antenna wires, colors reversed now but AUX to AUX and Main to Main is still what you need to do. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Device!

Highly recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wifi and Bluetooth, even with only one antenna connection! *by S***H on August 24, 2019* I bought an HP 14-dk0022wm laptop that came with an AMD Ryzen 3 processor and a Realtek card. Since I did not want to use the provided Windows 10 Home in S mode, I purchased a larger, faster M.2 SSD and installed Fedora Linux. Unfortunately, the Realtek RTL8841CE card does not currently have a driver in the Linux kernel and is unlikely to until next year sometime. I tried installing a driver with no success. I looked at a number of different options and selected this AC 9260 card as I found on the Linux Wireless site that it is supported. Even though the page indicated that it was for use only with an Intel processor, I read elsewhere that it does work with AMD processors as well. Pairing with an Inel processor may have a feature or two more, but I have not noticed any problems with using it with the Ryzen 3 processor. I couldn't be more happy with this choice. I installed it, booted up, and had both Wifi and Bluetooth operating properly. The HP laptop came with only one antenna. I first connected to the AUX connector but found that it only gave me 2.4 GHz network access. I switched it to the Main connector, and found that it gave me not only 5 GHz, but kept the 2.4 GHz capability. Bluetooth operates with either one so I don't know if it is using the antenna or if it has its own antenna in the card itself. As for operation, I am getting 867 Mbps with my Linksys AC1750 router. If I had the second antenna, I expect I would get the faster 1300 Mbps speed of which the router is capable. I'm very happy though with the 867 Mbps as it is much faster than my previous laptop with wireless N had. Bottom line: I recommend this card. ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel® Wireless 9000 Series - WiFi Antenna 8dBi Omni RP-SMA Male 2.4Ghz 5.8Ghz Dual Band + 20cm U.FL IPEX MHF4 to RP SMA Female Extension Cable for M.2 NGFF Card Notebook Drone 2 Pcs - MHF4 IPEX 2.4Ghz 5Ghz 5.8G WLAN Network Adapter PC WiFi Antenna for Intel 7260 8260 8265 9265 9260 9560 AX200 AX Killer M.2 IPEX4 Wi-Fi Wireless WLAN Card Banana Pi 4 M2 Zero Hachintosh --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/61381721-intel-wireless-ac-9260-2230-2x2-ac-bt-gigabit-no](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/61381721-intel-wireless-ac-9260-2230-2x2-ac-bt-gigabit-no) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-20*
