Bought this to replace a slower non-BT card that was installed in an old Dell Inspiron 3521.The AC 7620 works great, im getting about a 40% uplift in network speed and a significant reduction in ping and i now have bluetooth support but if anyone else is considering this as an upgrade for an older platform, be aware that drivers are not readily available on Intels website.I would post direct links here but im not sure if thats allowed by Amazon but just google "Intel AC 7620 drivers reddit" and one of the results has a top reply giving links to hidden URLs via WayBackMachine that worked perfectly for me (the drivers state that they are for windows 10 but they work just fine on my laptops windows 11 OS) just be sure you know which architecture your machine is running (32 or 64 bit) and choose the correct driver.Just download the (2) drivers and install (i installed (1) at a time, starting with wifi and then restart PC. After restart, installed bt driver and again restarted.)Couldnt be happier with the results!

I've re-purposed an old (2010) Asus P50IJ as a Linux Mint machine and been pleasantly surprised how much I've enjoyed the OS. The original 802.11n card needed an upgrade. This Intel 7260.HMW surprisingly included a half to full mini PCI-E adapter that I needed. Linux Mint (Virginia 21.3) seamlessly utilized the new WiFi card on reboot along with new Bluetooth capability. The WiFi router connects at 5 GHz, so enjoying the simple pleasure of an easy upgrade.Put my Windows 10 ssd back in and it was a challenge to get a stable connection on the latest v.18.xx drivers. It would intermittently randomly drop and/or revert to 2.5 GHz (802.11n protocol). Ultimately, I reset the network settings and used the v.17.15.0.5 driver, which was successful. Win 10 requires a separate Bluetooth driver that was easy to find online and less finicky (all versions worked). Getting real world Speedtest >360Mbps WiFi download, not bad for basic tier service on EOL legacy hardware.

I has to look at a utube video to find how to remove the card under the keyboard but it went smooth after that.

Great value (bang for your buck) ... tripled 802.11n throughput. Dual band makes this a solid performing adaptor which is relatively easy to install (pending how simple it is to open your laptop). Only thing to watch for is that the Microsoft/Intel drivers can be a bit finiky and sometimes you've got to try a few before you get the best performance from the card for your particular laptop ... the latest driver isn't always the best. I'd recommend these adaptors and would buy again.

I was trying to refurbish my 8 year old laptop and the default wireless card wasn't able to see 5Ghz networks. I installed that card and it works flawlessly! Not only I can see all 5Ghz networks now, but also the laptop could succeed to make my current network connection automatically in Windows & Ubuntu after the driver installations.

La tarjeta funcionó de acuerdo a lo esperado, fue muy sencillo instalarla y da nueva vida laptops de más de 3 años que de fábrica solo podían conectarse a la WiFi de 2.4 GHz. Es importante verificar el tipo de ranura de estos accesorios antes de comprar para asegurarse de la compatibilidad.

This network adaptor card was very easy to install on my Dell Inspiron 3542 laptop. After installation I was able to connect to my 5G option on my older Netgear AC router. Average download speed (50mbits/sec) was an increase of 50% over the old card at a working distance of about 30 feet from the router with several walls in between. I am very happy with the performance. I did a fair amount of research into the Revision (R) designation discrepancy. Intel has many reasons for letter designations and many times it is not related to device performance. In this case the difference was at most due to compatibility issues with some motherboards. While I have to fault the vender and Amazon for the way this card is advertized and labeled I don't believe there is any reason to reject it for that reason alone. If you happen to have one of the motherboards that has comparability issues and it really is not a R version then I am sure you will be able to return it for a refund. It is priced in line or below other AC7260 non R boards so if it works in your laptop which it most likely will then its a good deal.

I am thoroughly satisfied with this network card. I was skeptical because I intended to use it on a 2008 Dell Inspiron 1545 (with an Intel processor). I was worried if such a modern (relative to the computer) card would be compatible. I am running Windows 8.1 Pro, so I knew that the drivers were present, it was just a matter of the chipset accepting this wireless card. Other concerns like, if the full bandwidth could be attainable on such an old device were also present. And turned out, none of those concerns were a problem. This card is incredible and extremely backwards compatible.I recently upgraded this PC to Windows 8.1 and just had my WiFi router upgraded to a dual channel, 802.11ac with dual streams. The maximum AC (link) speed advertised both by my router and on this card was 866 Mbps. And if you look at the image on this review, this theoretical link speed was achieved with this card on a 7 year old laptop.I haven't installed Plex Media server after the Windows 8.1 upgrade, however I can not wait to have Plex up and running. My Roku and other plex apps are going to be thrilled. I tried chrome tab morroring on the chromecast and it was almost real time and was flawlessly casting HD videos from Vimeo (I'm not a big vimeo user, but I used vimeo because it streams the video on the computer as it is an unsupported site for direct casting, supported services like Netflix or YouTube would stream directly to chromecast, which would have made this casting test useless). While it beat up my good old Core2 Duo processor, the WiFi card just performs. Additionally, I use Xender app to transfer files between my phone and the PC. Now the app transfers faster than the wired USB connection.Additionally, the card came with a bonus Bluetooth 4.0 LE upgrade, earlier my Bluetooth headset only worked in the room this computer was in and maybe the neighboring room...Now it works everywhere in the house. Even outside.Latest drivers are always posted and updated periodically on Intel's site.P.S: My Internet connection nowhere nears this link speed. My 7 year old card could handle triple the speed of my Internet plan. The reason to have this card was not internet speed, at all. I have an ecosystem of intraconnected devices, that interact with each other. The update to the WiFi router and this upgrade to my laptop takes the intraconnected communications to their best potential.
