Hello,

I have Intel NUC Board NUC5i5MYBE and M.2 7260NGW Wifi card. Wifi card is specifically Intel Dual Band 7260NGW AN, FRU 04X6008 from Lenovo X240.

I have recent version of BIOS Version: 0027. The BIOS detect a card in M2 22x30 slot. I have recent version of drivers 18.30. Wifi card is connected properly by the antennas by the manual.

Tested Peripherals for Intel® NUC Kits NUC5i3MY/NUC5i5MY http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/boards-and-kits/000006617.html?wapkw=intel+nuc+board+nuc5i5mybe here. I think my card is compatible, or isn´t?

I have Windows 10 64bit Home CZ. Bluetooth works correctly, but Wifi doesn´t go turn on! What am I doing wrong?

BunnyCZ,

If you extracted this Intel® Wireless Adapter from a Lenovo* ThinkPad X240 Ultrabook Laptop, the chances are that this wireless adapter may not be fully compatible with the Intel® NUC Kits NUC5i3MY/NUC5i5MY due to the customizations they do in order for the adapter be fully compatible with the system of an specific computer model they build. Was the wireless adapter fully operational on the laptop?

Hello aleki_intel,

Wifi adapter works fine in Lenovo Laptop. Like I said, bluetooth works fine, but Wifi doesn´t turn on. Can you please reccomend me compatible 7260 or 7265 Wifi cards for intel NUCs. In Czech republic, there is no distribution for Intel Wifi card itself. I think,there is a solution to use wifi adapters from expample Lenovo laptops. Please send me any link from ebay, aliexpress, amazon... I buy the correct wifi card.

Thank you.

Regards

Jiri Hrazdira

BunnyCZ,

We would be more than glad to help you with but Intel® Wireless Adapters are not meant to be sold to end-users and therefore, we don't support integration considering that you removed a wireless adapter meant to be used with that specific system and may not be compatible with other systems such as desktops, NUCs...etc. Access this link for further information on this matter: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking/000005687.html?wapkw=regulatory+information+regarding+hardware+installation Regulatory Information Regarding Hardware Installation or Upgrade for...

On our best effort to assist you on your request, please access this link: http://locate.intel.com/ Intel® Technology Providers Locator in order to find the nearest Intel® Product Provider in order to check for other options. Some NUCs come ready for a Mini Half Card or a an M.2 and you need to take that into consideration as well.
