Replacement for 9260.NGWG.NV wifi card

[hardwareteam]

We have been using the 9260.NGWG.NV wifi card in our product. Now it has been made obsolete, could you advise on the most logical successor?

We would like to have similar performance and minimal software changes to 9260.NGWG.NV wifi card.

Please advise, or point us to a resource, as there are many to chose from and we want the most compatible successor as a replacement.

Many thanks,

Hardware Team

We buy the wifi cards through the website below:

Hello hardwareteam,

Thank you for posting on Intel Community Forum.

Could you kindly confirm whether you would like to proceed with replacing the Wi-Fi card and integrating it into your system?

I look forward to your response.

Best regards

Hello Jed,

Yes, we use the Intel 9260.NGWG.NV wifi card as part of an FCC certified product. Due to 9260.NGWG.NV wifi card  becoming obsolete, we would like to change it for a model which is in current production.

Please advise which wifi card from Intel's current range would be the most suitable replacement.

We will integrate the replacement in our system and will probably have to recertify for FCC.

Many thanks,

Hardware Team

First of all, I would point out that the 9260 is (still) a Launched product (i.e., has NOT been Discontinued, as least according to ARK).

If you are considering it obsolete, the next logical step upwards is to the AX200 (AX200NGW) product. This product upgrades support to Wi-Fi 6, Wireless-AX (WPA3) and Bluetooth 5.2.

Now, I would also point out that you could move up two steps to the AX210 (AX210NGW), which further upgrades support to Wi-Fi 6e (6GHz band) and Bluetooth 5.3, or three steps to the BE200 (BE200NGW), which further upgrades support to Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.

I have attached my Intel Wireless Card cheatsheet, which you might find helpful. As well, to save you time, I have attached the AX200, AX210 and BE200 Product Briefs.

Hope this helps,
