No question - The Azurewave is far better in my experience. i replaced a 30 day old Intel 7260 HWMG card with the Azurewave CE123H and have no regrets. In the month that I used the Intel card I tried all of the drivers but could never it stable in AC mode - it would drift from fast to dog slow then back. The Intel card would drift down to 6mbit whereas the Azurewave bottoms out at 585mbit in my network. The new card also has far faster effective upload speeds.

The Intel didn't work with my Samsung series 3 with windows 8.1. The azurware worked out of the box with windows drivers.

I have several AC 7260 WI-FI cards on my laptop and PC's. I discovered quickly that many laptops have have issues with limited access after sleep, and all window systems have issues with performance using Intel AC 7260. I did purchase an Azurewave AW-CE123H 802.11ac/nbg WiFi+BT for PC , and had a hardtime finding software for Windows 8. It was advertised that drivers were included in Windows 8 but found out that was not true. Searching the web I did find out one that works, but it would max speed at 300 mbs. I have not find why yet?

There have been issues with connectivity and UDP packet drops for the Intel Wireless-AC 7260. This card is based on Broadcom

802.11ac spec has max bandwidth of 1000 mbps while mini pcie spec is max 2500 mbps so there won't be a bottleneck from the backplane.

Either check your mSATA slot to see what's compatible with it (better) or check the list of compatible devices for IEEE 6230 802.11n and see if yours is listed? Mine is ASUS NS53SV and it works fine with it. The previous one didn't do Bluetooth and 5 GHz band which was the reason for replacement.

I ordered this card from Newegg.com and installed it by watching a youtube video. 1 x Intel 7260HMW IEEE 802.11AC, dual-band, 2x2 Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth 4.0 Mini PCI Express combo Adapter - 867 . It solved the problem.

It's PCIe Half Mini Card, Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260, Wi-Fi + Bluetooth combo adapter, 2x2.

Yes, this comes with an Intel Wireless-N 7260BN mini pcie wifi card with Bluetooth 4.0 with integrated antennas already installed.

Yes it is. You will need to open up the bottom of the case and replace the exiting Dell Wireless 1502 802.11n WLAN mini adapter. The Intel adapter will provide both WiFi and Bluetooth from this one adapter.

The included WiFi is pretty crappy. I was getting 3-5mb/s over my network, and poor connectivity in my bedroom, which is usually not a problem.I ordered an Intel 6235 WiFi card for $23 here on Amazon. Windows8 didn't even need drivers. I am getting 50+mb/s and great connectivity on 2.4GHz, and the 6235 has 5GHz too.(Installation is cake. unscrew the bottom, swap the card, screw back up. 5m)

It has a mPCI express wifi/bluetooth module that attaches to the onboard mPCI express 2.0 1x slot. The included card had 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac. The card works with every known version of wifi including the new ac standard.

You can get by with using the 0 and 1 antenna leaving the 2 open or you could order a 3rd antenna and put it in where ever you can I stuck one in the base under the keyboard. I never used mine with just 2 but honestly I'm done with Intel wireless cards both of the ones I bought had issues. I would go for a atheros one instead.

YEs, it supports AC. EJ is correct that it supports 802.11N but it also supports 802.11AC. It comes with the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Plus Bluetooth adapter on the motherboard.

Yeah... ish. I have it in my router right now and it works great in the 2.4ghz band. Im working on getting the 5ghz band up and running but I seem to be running into country code problems or it might be possible that this card doesn't support AP mode in 5Ghz mode but Im hoping for the former :) kernel 3.13. EDIT. Talked to a intel kernel dev. 5ghz is disabled for regulatory reasons.

This is M.2 NGFF, NOT Mini-PCIeCompare for yourself: http://www.mfactors.com/7260ngw-intel-dual-band-wireless-ac-7260-802-11ac-dual-band-2x2-wi-fi-bluetooth-4-0/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2

The wifi/Bluetooth card is supposed to be close to the CMOS battery. You can't miss it. There are two wires that run from the card to the back of the board where the I/O is. If it's not there then that's a problem.

I purchased my laptop from Best Buy and have had zero wifi issues. Mine has solid connections. Never drops whether browsing or streaming. My wifi card is Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7260

for asus n66r, works on 2.4 band the most. Does not do much for 5 Ghz but it did not hurt.
