Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN Mini-PCI Express Adapter for DELL D520 D620 D820 D630 D830

This is a wireless network adapter designed for specific Dell laptops, including the D520, D620, D820, D630, and D830 models. It uses Intel's PRO/Wireless 4965AGN technology, which supports the 802.11a/b/g/n standards for wireless connectivity. The adapter is a Mini-PCI Express card, meaning it is designed to fit into the Mini-PCI Express slot found in these laptops. It provides improved wireless performance compared to older standards, allowing for faster data transfer rates and better range in compatible devices.

The adapter is specifically tailored for Dell laptops and may not function properly in other brands such as IBM, Lenovo, ThinkPad, or HP. This is due to differences in hardware design and compatibility requirements between laptop manufacturers. It is important to ensure that the laptop model matches the supported list before installation. The card has been tested to ensure it works with the intended devices, but users should still verify compatibility based on their specific laptop model.

Installation requires opening the laptop's case and inserting the Mini-PCI Express card into the appropriate slot. No additional software is typically needed as the driver is usually included with the operating system or can be downloaded from Intel's website. Users should ensure that their laptop's BIOS recognizes the new hardware and that the operating system has the correct drivers installed for optimal performance.

This adapter is ideal for users who need to upgrade or replace their wireless connectivity on older Dell laptops. It allows for seamless Wi-Fi access and can support multiple devices on a network. However, it is not suitable for newer laptops that use different form factors such as M.2 or USB-based wireless adapters.
