I have Dell Inspiron 15 7537 , from 2013, and Intel Wireless N-7260 card (that's single band, not dual band version). And I wanted to upgrade WiFi card with some newer, dual band model. Would Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 be compatible with my system?

I have Dell Inspiron 15 7537 , from 2013, and Intel Wireless N-7260 card (that's single band, not dual band version). And I wanted to upgrade WiFi card with some newer, dual band model. Would Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 be compatible with my system? Or if not which one of the newer Intel WiFi card models would be?

 

System has

 

Intel i7-4500U processor,

 

16GB RAM,

 

Intel HD Graphics 4400 / NVidia GeForce GT750M

 

Don't know if there's anything else relevant about system you need to know?

skepers,

Intel does not support integration which is when the original wireless adapter is replaced by another one. Please check this online documentation 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, we would like inform you that in situtions like that, your best option for support would to contact your OEM ( Original Equipment Manufacturer ): http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/topics/OEMs.html Computer Manufacturer Support Websites as they are the only ones that can provide you a list of adapters that are compatible with the type of system you have since they make modifcations on the adapters in order to fit the system.
