Simple bait and switch like so many other reviewers...same old story of Amazon Chinese knockoffs once again. Hopefully you can see the Model numbers in my attached pics.
Package label states Model "7260.HMWG.R" while the label on the chip clearly marked Model "7260.HMW" and not return eligible.....yup, about done with Amazon and back to brick and mortar. What else can I say? Didn't even attempt to use it b/c of that alone.
A Good wifi card for a speedy internet connection. The connection is very stable and fast as expected of an Intel's product.
I put it in a Vaio E series laptop (specific model number SVE1411EGXB for anyone wondering). The laptop was produced in 2011 and don't have an On/Off wireless switch. At first, the computer recognizes the wifi card with all driver install stated it is working properly. However, I cannot turn on Wifi. Spend a day troubleshooting and nothing help. Finally, try the tapping method I found on Google, where you specifically use electric tape (other tapes work too but I recommend electric tape) to tape pin 20 and 51 of the card (these pins allow the computer to turn the card off). After taping the two pins, the wifi and Bluetooth work great and very stable. (pin 51 is on the side where you connect the antenna while pin 20 is on the back of your wifi card)
What I liked most was that in the description and item title this is a Intel 7260.HMWG.R. The ".R" means "Revised".
What I liked least was the item I received was the older unrevised version. The anti static bag was labeled the revised one but the numbers on the card indicated by Intel's documentation that it isn't.
It may work out just fine as the older version had compatibility and stable connection issues on some computers. It seems to be working good in my system so far. It's frustrating to do your homework just to turn around and have someone cheat you. I have since read other reviews stating the same.
I also received the non-R version, as many people have found. Disappointed that this seller would bait-and-switch. In addition, the card worked for a day and then crapped out and no longer connects to the internet. I had to dig through the trash for my old card. So much for the "upgrade."

I upgraded my Dell XPS 2720's Wireless N Card to this Intel 7260 card. As you can see from the speed test, I am maxing out my Xfinity connection as if I was connected to a wire.
So far I've ordered 5 of these from ComegaCity and had to return 4 because they weren't the R (Revised) version as advertised. Make sure you get what you pay for and if you don't, leave negative seller feedback so these "companies" pay better attention to the parts they are selling.
This card worked perfectly in my Dell XPS L701X (and most the L702X). Although I needed to open the laptop (yep, under the keyboard), it was pretty speedy to unplug the old 6200 Wireless N card and replace it with this 7260 Wireless AC card. A video can be found on YouTube to instruct you how to swap this card out. Windows 10 drivers picked this card up immediately after I booted up, so all was good, however I strongly suggest you download the latest drivers from Intel (link below)
A couple of notes: 1. Because this card contains Bluetooth 4.0 support along with Wireless AC, you should unplug this laptop's old, separate Bluetooth 2.0 card while the computer is open, found under the right side of the palmrest. 2. Because the default Windows 10 drivers are older, I strongly recommend downloading & installing the MUCH newer 7260 Bluetooth *AND* 7260 WiFi drivers (for Windows 7, even if you have a Windows 10 machine) from Intel's web site by doing a Google search for "Intel 7260 Drivers"
If the SPS number isn't 784639-005, then you're not getting the .R that you're paying a premium for. Leave negative seller feedback if this happens, as they know what cards they're sending out. You can find a detailed guide on these cards and revisions direct from the manufacturer with a simple internet search. Buyer beware.
Breathed new life into an old laptop which still performs remarkably well with incremental upgrades over the years. But, given the new installation of 500MB/s line, had to upgrade my 1-band card to Dual Band.

Many people who buy this purchase it for the dual band wifi feature which is awesome. But if you also happen to need bluetooth as well, you will need to tape over pin 51 on the board to make it work. Oddly enough, that pin is buggered up, and will not power up the bluetooth chip if left uncovered. If you google "intel 7620 tape" you'll find a bunch of videos on it. It's imperative that you cover up the pin for your bluetooth to work. After that, everything works like it should.

I purchased this item to replace an existing Intel Dual Band Wireless-N card in my Dell Inspiron 17 7737. This laptop can only support a PCIE HMC or PCIE Half Mini Card. This Intel wireless board does also come in another variation called M.2, which is the form factor or "connection" to the motherboard. Make sure you know what yours is first before ordering it. Any higher models after the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 card are now M.2 only and make look similar but won't work. If you need to figure out what card you need, check the Intel site for more details.
As for this card itself, its exactly what I had before but now with the "AC" designation which is one up from "N". Installed the card, Windows 10 recognized it instantly. Had to re-enter my credentials for the networks and voila. Now I can disable support for other protocols except "AC". That way my wireless access points are strictly "AC" mode only. That usually gives you less signal clutter, more performance.
Card comes in a electrostatic sealed bag. Simply cut it open (make sure you don't cut the card), turn off your laptop and pop the old card out. To remove the antennas just "LIFT" and wiggle the wires upwards and they will detach. REMEMBER where the antennas go. Mine had a white and a black anetnna. Both are for WiFi but one is for Bluetooth as well. If you have a grey antenna that means you need a 3x3 WiFi card. This card is specific to 2x2.

Installed easily. Hooked up antennas in the same configuration as the OEM card. Windows updated and installed MS drivers automatically. The 7260 wifi functioned but the blue tooth did not. Went to Intel site and ran the Intel hardware scan utility, then installed the recommended drivers direct from Intel. After that blue tooth worked with no errors and the wifi showed higher on a speed test.
