⚙️ Fit Notes
- Match your original wireless card part number whenever possible
- Confirm your original card is marked 04X6010, 04X6090, 00JT500, or 7260HMW AC
- Confirm your system uses a Half Mini PCIe WLAN slot
- This is not the same as the M.2 / NGFF 7260NGW version
- Some similar 7260 cards are Wireless-N only; confirm the original card is the Wireless-AC 7260 version if AC support is required
- Verify your system BIOS supports this WLAN card before ordering, especially on systems with wireless card whitelist restrictions
- Confirm your system has compatible MAIN and AUX antenna leads
- If antenna leads are missing, damaged, or weak, use a compatible replacement antenna: Extended Range Wireless Antenna for 2.4GHz / 5GHz Internal Half-Height Mini PCIe WiFi Bluetooth Cards
- Wireless speed and signal quality depend on router capability, antenna placement, drivers, operating system, and local interference
- Driver installation may be required after replacing the wireless card
- Bluetooth operation may require the correct chipset and Bluetooth driver package
- Always power down the laptop, disconnect the AC adapter, remove the battery when applicable, and follow proper ESD safety procedures before replacing internal wireless cards
