Replacing Wifi on Asus Maximux X Hero Wifi-AC

[xsoft]

Hi Guys,

I currently have Asus Maximux X Hero Wifi-AC board, and i would like to replace the wifi module.

any guidance?

I already bought from ebay intel 9260.

i've seen that there's also 9560 module.


does the 9260 will be fitted in my board? if not, any adapter?

please advise

Buy a 7260NGW wifi card since it's on the QVL list?

Whatever you get, it needs to be the same form factor, M.2 E key.

The 9260 should be fine. AFAIK, ASUS doesn't have a wifi card whitelist in their BIOS like other brands (mostly with laptops) do.

as i said, i want only the new one..which means 9260 OR 9560, they are both the same, just different connecotors.

all i wish to know which exactly ,because I already bought 9260.

Looks correct to me.

yes I bought that one, 9260.

the thing i was frightented of, is that the new Z390 Maximus XI hero, is 9560, which is basically a refresh.
