Question Intel 8260/8265

[kiaff75]

I have a 2 year old laptop I need to put a new wireless card in. It came with the 8260. Is the 8265 compatible? It looks similar but there are subtle differences comparing pictures.

The 8265 is definitely compatible. They're the same product, the 8265 just has MU-MIMO support, the 8260 doesn't.

Might you be interested in what that even is, then you'll want to read this: https://www.linksys.com/us/r/resource-center/what-is-mu-mimo/
