This is a high-performance wireless and Bluetooth adapter designed for notebooks, offering dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. It supports the 802.11ac standard, providing faster speeds up to 433 Mbps, which is ideal for streaming, online gaming, and large file transfers. The adapter is compatible with Intel Core processors and integrates seamlessly with Intel wireless technologies to enhance overall connectivity and battery efficiency. Its compact mPCIe form factor makes it suitable for internal installation in laptops and other compatible devices.
The Intel 3160HMW is built to deliver reliable performance in both home and professional environments. It operates on dual bands, allowing for better signal strength and reduced interference. This ensures stable connections even in crowded network environments. The Bluetooth 4.0 support enables seamless pairing with a wide range of devices, including smartphones, headphones, and smartwatches. The adapter is designed to work with Intel-based systems, making it a good choice for users looking to upgrade or replace their existing wireless hardware.
Installation requires an mPCIe slot on the notebook, and no additional drivers are needed as it is compatible with standard operating systems. The product comes with all necessary components for installation, though users should ensure their device has the correct slot and power requirements. It is marketed as a cost-effective solution that offers premium performance without the high price tag of newer models. Users should note that it is a 1x1 MIMO configuration, which may limit its performance in high-density Wi-Fi environments compared to 2x2 models.
The design focuses on reliability and compatibility rather than aesthetics, as it is intended for internal use. Its small size ensures minimal impact on the device's portability or internal space. Users should also be aware that this adapter does not support newer Wi-Fi standards like Wi-Fi 6 or Bluetooth 5.0 and may not be suitable for future-proofing their devices.
