- WARNING IMPORTANT CNVio REQUIREMENT: Requires a motherboard and processor combination designed for 1st Gen Intel CNVio. Physical installation into an M.2 Key E wireless slot does NOT guarantee operation. Verify your existing card before ordering
- REPLACEMENT WIRELESS MODULE: For replacing a failed, damaged, or missing 9461NGW wireless card in compatible laptops, mini PCs, and systems designed for 1st Gen Intel CNVio support. Best used as a direct repair part, not a universal upgrade
- DUAL-BAND WIFI PLUS DEVICE SUPPORT: Supports 2.4 and 5 GHz wireless networks using Wi-Fi 5 802.11ac technology with link rates up to 433 Mbps. Compatible with Bluetooth 5.1 peripherals including keyboards, mice, headsets, speakers, and controllers
- CARD LIMITS: Not compatible with AMD-based systems, CNVio2 systems, Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 7, or 6 GHz wireless upgrades. Best for replacing an existing 9461NGW or approved equivalent, not for unknown laptops or generic desktop PCIe adapters
- INSTALLATION AND PACKAGE CONTENTS: Includes one wireless card in protective anti-static packaging. ANTENNA, SCREW, TOOLS, CABLES, BRACKET, DRIVER MEDIA, AND MANUAL ARE NOT INCLUDED. Install BOTH Wi-Fi and compatible Bluetooth drivers after setup
9461NGW Wireless-AC 9461 M.2 2230 Wireless Card: This internal wireless card is intended as a replacement WLAN adapter for compatible systems originally equipped with a 9461NGW card or another module approved for 1st Gen Intel CNVio. It is best for restoring Wi-Fi and compatible Bluetooth functionality in laptops, mini PCs, and host systems that already support this card type.
Compatibility is the key purchase requirement: This card requires a motherboard and processor combination designed for 1st Gen Intel CNVio. Physical fit in an M.2 Key E slot does not guarantee operation. Verify your existing card model, host documentation, BIOS support, and manual before ordering.
Supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi 5 802.11ac networks with link rates up to 433 Mbps under compatible conditions. Performance depends on router, antenna placement, drivers, congestion, interference, and host design.
Not intended for AMD-based systems, CNVio2 systems, standard M.2 PCIe slots, generic desktop PCIe adapters, Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 7, or 6 GHz upgrades. Not all laptops use replaceable cards, so confirm your system uses a removable M.2 2230 module.
If Wi-Fi works but compatible Bluetooth devices are not detected, install the compatible Bluetooth driver separately, restart, and check BIOS or radio settings. Weak signal may result from a loose antenna lead, damaged cable, placement, router distance, interference, or host antenna design.
