It works..
Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 NGFFNot much to say, it works reliably and maintains the 50-60mbps I get on my other devices. Installation is a giant PITA, the antenna connectors are incredibly small. Some reviews recommend using pliers, and I would advise against that unless you're really careful. I only bought this because I broke one of the connectors off of the one that came with my Asrock Deskmini 110W, which was fine since i was debating upgrading to this one anyway. My best advice for connecting the antenna cables is that it doesn't require too much force, it needs to be properly aligned before trying to push it together. Pushing harder (with pliers) won't make them pop together. Anyway if you're looking at an NGFF WiFi card then you probably have no other option so good luck. Installation aside, it's a good and reliable WiFi card at what seems like a reasonable price.

Perfect Replacement for a Linux Laptop
I have a Dell 5379 which uses a QCA6174 wifi card. I was having some issues with it in Manjaro KDE (Linux) and found out that card and many other Qualcomm cards are not well supported in Linux. I found a list of Linux compatible Intel Wifi cards on Intels site and this chipset (8265) seemed to be relatively new and well supported.For $20 it works great. I was a little concerned if I would get the product as expected but it was indeed an Intel 8265 card. Recognized and worked right away.I am able to get the full 867Mbps connection to my router when within a reasonable range and Internet speeds are what I would expect. Network speeds improved greatly vs the Qualcomm card as well. I no longer have to worry if the wifi card is supported/stable.If you are having issues with Wifi in Linux/Windows and need this type of card, Id recommend this one.

Great replacement for Qualcomm qca9377
I purchased this to replace the Qualcomm qca9377 that came in my Dell Inspiron 5570 (Windows 10x64 Home), which I purchased in mid-December 2017. The 9377 (with latest drivers) had given me nothing but trouble with intermittent connections and refusing to recognize my Airplay devices which I use with iTunes. The installation was pretty straight forward except for a difficult screw on the wifi card itself. I had to resort to an old Reed Prince screwdriver, which quickly solved the problem. This card is faster, MUCH more stable, recognizes my Airplay and UPnP devices and just a much better performer. The 9377 drove me nuts for two and a half months! Love the new card.

Good enough
Works fine but for some reason only gets 100Mbps down even though my connection is 200Mbps. Otherwise works very well.

Unreliable
This lasted about a week before the Bluetooth died. Seems be common with Dell computers.

Good set, works in ASUS ROG 751JY
I replaced an AC 7260 set that I suspected had started to fail because my wireless connection would randomly drop internet access. Wireless would stay connected but no internet. This set has performed flawlessly since I installed it a little over a week ago and my fears that it would not be compatible with the old drivers proved groundless as the new set was recognized immediately by my laptop. The only step you will need to take after installation is to re-select the wireless network and enter your logon credentials. This set is 100% compatible with the ASUS ROG751JY laptop.

Works great!
I have a Lenovo Yoga 730-13 and the WiFi kept dropping out... very frustrating.Research on the internet revealed this is a very common problem with this laptop, but it can be easily addressed by replacing the original WiFi module with this one.The installation was straight forward and the problem was instantly / totally cured.

Upgade Your Notebooks, Not Your Router
Your notebook computer hasn't lived a full life without an Intel 8265 upgrade. SpeedTest on RCN Chicago is consistently showing initial pings of 0ms. I didn't think that was possible so I walked my neighborhood with a infrared thermal gun. When I found a house showing an unusually high heat signature, I knocked on the door to ask if they were hosting the SpeedTest server. She said another bearded, smelly guy came by earlier asking the same question. Go figure.Instead of upgrading your router, consider swapping in a 8265. I had no idea how lame my Dell 1820/1830 wireless cards were until I upgraded to 8265s. I've been running pings all day, moving around the house, turning power tools on and off, opening command prompts, changing browser tabs, rarely a dropped ping ever seen. Also gone are those minutes length episodes of dropped pings. Gives you extra time for a shower and shave.In short, with 8265 cards, my notebooks have greatly improved latency, sensitivity, and range.
