For Intel 9461NGW Wireless-AC 9461 Replacement Wireless Card: This internal wireless card is intended as a replacement WLAN adapter for compatible systems originally equipped with a 9461NGW wireless card or another approved module designed for 1st Gen Intel CNVio technology. It is primarily intended for repair, replacement, refurbishment, maintenance, and restoration of wireless functionality in existing systems. This card requires a motherboard and processor combination designed for 1st Gen Intel CNVio support. Physical fit in an M.2 Key E wireless slot does not guarantee compatibility. Before ordering, verify the model number of your existing wireless card and consult your system documentation. This model supports dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) operation on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks with link rates up to 433 Mbps under compatible conditions. Actual performance depends on router capabilities, antenna design, signal quality, interference, drivers, operating system configuration, and environmental conditions. Not intended for AMD-based systems, systems requiring CNVio2 modules, standard M.2 PCIe wireless slots, generic desktop PCIe adapter installations Wi-Fi and compatible Bluetooth functionality operate as separate functions. If Wi-Fi works but compatible Bluetooth devices are not detected, install the appropriate compatible Bluetooth driver separately and restart the system. Not all laptops use replaceable wireless cards. Some systems use soldered wireless hardware.
