Review: Tiny little MONSTA! - Definitely, A MONSTAAA!!! I decided to buy this little monster in order to replace my old crappy laptop's wireless adapter and I did the best thing I could do for my old, but still strong ASUS (X54HY-SX030D). At first, I was a bit reluctant as I'd done some research and I found out that it could be incompatible with some laptops. But I took the risk and now I'm among one of the happiest tech geeks - so, now, guys for those of you who still have an old K54 or X54 laptop, it works flawlessly. The Wi-Fi's signal has improved by a little edge - the most important factor here is the router/access point, the speeds went through the roof, but most importantly the connection is A LOT more stable than it used to be - no drops, more constant speed and reduced latency. In addition to all of these super benefits, you get Bluetooth 4.0 LE which is a lovely pleasure to use in combination with an excellent pair of wireless headphones - mine is Ausdom M05. Now, I can walk around my room with my headphones on without having to worry about an annoying wire hanging around Review: An easy upgrade - but check you want a half-card first! - First, note that this is a half minicard: one or two reviewers mention buying without realising this. If in doubt, check your motherboard! (You can by an adapter, however...) I've now bought two of these - one to replace the slow single band card in my laptop - Asus N550JV - and the other for a desktop Dell XPS 8300. (Most desktops have a full size card - the Dell XPS doesn't.) On both machines and only using 2.4GHz there was a significant increase in speed, reliability and crucially for me range. The laptop now picks up the network from the bottom of our garden, and the connection speed when playing Star Wars the Old Republic is better. 5GHz is of course even faster, but the range is much shorter. Both were comparatively easy to install. After taking the ten screws (!) out to remove the back of the Asus, the existing card was easy to remove and the replacement popped into the slot and the two existing antennae clipped on without fuss. On powering up, the laptop recognised the card and installed the drivers automatically - although I did check that the most recent drivers both for Bluetooth and for wi-fi had been installed. The back of the Dell opens easily with one screw. The card is harder to get out, as the motherboard is quite cramped, but I managed it by using a plastic ballpoint pen to open one clip and my finger for the other. The Dell did not automatically install the drivers, so I downloaded them onto a pen drive and manually installed them through Device Manager. So if you only have one computer in the house, download the drivers from the Intel site first - you need of course to know the version of Windows you are using and whether it is 32 or 64-bit. So, an easy upgrade for me.

I just took a chance and it worked out fine. **Q: Want to fit one to Gateway mx8716b laptop. Can I buy new antennae to fit to the 7260 as old card antenna wires too short to reach down half size card!** A: The answer to that is I don't know. On my dell the position was the same as the old single band card.Could you not buy male / female extension cable to connect? **Q: Does anyone know if this will work in a Dell Inspiron 1525. I realise this is half height and I will need an adapter.** A: I have it installed in a custom tower using a Gigabyte card and I have it in a 2010 Dell Inspiron 17R laptop and a Toshiba laptop and a HP Laptop. The Toshiba and HP are about a year old. It will NOT work with Vista but all others are fine. For Windows 7 you need to download drivers from Intel but with Windows 10 It was installed almost instantly **Q: It will work on dell inspiron 5520 R15?** A: It worked in a Dell InspironN5010 15" so it can be assumed it'll work in that version too (the Dell half card isn't supported by Windows 10 but the Intel one is).However do download the drivers (from the Intel site) putting the files on the hard drive or memory stick before changing the cards over otherwise you won't have any access to them when installing. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tiny little MONSTA! *by I***U on 2 July 2015* Definitely, A MONSTAAA!!!

Great price! *by D***A on 21 November 2015* I upgraded the wireless card of my Asus ROG G750JX laptop, which used to have a standard (boring and slow) 802.11b/c/n card. Having done that and having previously installed the drivers and utility from the Intel website, the card was immediately recognised and started to work like charm. When I saw that 5 GHz connection I couldn't contain my tears of joy. :') The speeds are quite impressive, even faster than the wired connection I've got using a PowerLine PassThrough adapter (from TP-Link). I just got rid of that ethernet connection and I'm connected to my EE Brightbox 2 modem just using this little poppy and I can't find any flaws. My first plan was to buy an USB 3.0 adapter from Asus or Netgear, but the price tag for those was a deal breaker. £20 for this little card, despite the disassembling 'struggle' worth the effort. I've been told about some incompatibility issues and the famous pin 51 fix trick, yada yada, but in my case that wasn't necessary, as aforementioned. Just go for it, you won't regret it! ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 2x2 Network plus Bluetooth adapter (7260.HMWWB.R) - Crucial RAM 16GB Kit (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz CL11 Laptop Memory CT2KIT102464BF160B - Samsung 870 EVO SATA III SSD 1TB 2.5” Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77E1T0B/AM --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/48570745-wireless-n-7260-7260hmw-an-intel-dual-band-wireless-n](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/48570745-wireless-n-7260-7260hmw-an-intel-dual-band-wireless-n) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
