The Intel Dual-Band Wireless-AC 9260 is a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.1 adapter in the form of an M.2 2230 module with an A-E key. The adapter simply plugs into an available M.2 slot, thereby upgrading any laptop or PC with fast Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The integrated Intel 9260 chipset enables transmission in both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands and supports the new 802.11ac standard. It achieves transmission speeds of up to 1,733 Gb/s (5 GHz). The Dual-Band Wireless-AC 9260 supports MU-MIMO (Multi-User MIMO) and Intel Wireless Display.

Additionally, the Intel Dual-Band Wireless-AC 9260 module is backward compatible with many common Wi-Fi standards: IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n. Current encryption techniques such as WEP (64 Bit and 128 Bit) or WPA/WPA2 ensure high security.
