Large blades for scooping extra WiFis out of the air.
They do their job well. I was a bit hesitant as the posting definitely lacks polish, but since there are only 2 or so M.2 (NGFF) Desktop antennas listed on Amazon I went with it. I connected it to Intel Wifi Wireless-AC 8265 8265.NGWMG Dual Band 2x2 AC + BlueTooth M.2 Brown Box and it worked perfectly the first time. The antenna blades are a bit on the large side, but they do a good job of hiding the circuit boards necessary for the antenna. This antenna is capable of both 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.2.M.2 is starting to become more common on desktop mother boards, so I see these becoming more popular in the future.Pro-tip, it's best to attach the antenna leads to the card before you insert the card into the slot. Took a bit of fiddling and gingerly snapping them on (I took the reviews complaining of smushed sockets seriously). Once they are snapped on they hold pretty well, just make sure to map out the path you want the antenna wires to take BEFORE you attach them.So my recommended order of assembly is:- Attach outer antenna ports to the designated supports on the motherboard (using pliers to securely tighten the nuts)- Run antenna wires around things to eat up an appropriate amount of length (I ran mine around the watercooler block since the M.2 slot was rather close to the back panel so I had plenty of line to eat up)- Attach leads to the card- Insert card into motherboard and screw down with the M.2 screw- Screw on outer antennas to the ports now on the outside of the case

I'm glad at least this product in particular specifically says this ...
Works as advertised. It fit on my intel 8620 NGW (NGFF m.2), so I'd imagine it should fit on all NGFF/M.2 wireless cards.The connectors are very small and hard to connect. I used a pair of needle nose pliers with rubber tips to attach it to the connector (I'm not sure if it's possible to do by hand).But I've ordered 3 pairs of these (different sellers/brands) and none of them fit. This has been the only one that fit my 8260 wireless card. I really wish sellers would include exactly what type of u.fl connector it is. As there are MHF-4 and MHF-5 compatible connectors. This one is the MHF-4 and most others being sold seem to be MHF-5 (or other ones), but neither this product nor any other similar products accurately label this in the description or the title of the product which is mildly infuriating.I'm glad at least this product in particular specifically says this is for NGFF cards, as I think all of the NGFF cards use the same smaller connector. The mini-pci cards use the larger connectors.Please update the title and description to be more detailed about what this product is. such as:"MHF4 uFL/u.FL/IPX/IPEX to RG178 RP-SMA Antenna Pigtail NGFF" So it's easier to find it while searching as well as easier to know before buying exactly what it is.I did not use the included antennas, so I can not comment on them.

If you need it this is a good set but does not included brackets.
I had a PCIex1 WiFi card which was a M.2 NGFF card on a PCIe riser but would not work in the HP machine. I pulled the M.2 card off the riser and put it into the on-board M.2 WiFi slot and it was seen by OS and "worked" but need antennas. Since the slot was at the front of the system, I needed longer cables to reach the antenna at the back of the PC. Four stars only because I would have liked them to include half and full height brackets for the cost. I reused the ones from the PCIe riser card but again would prefer them to be included. Ease to install is low not due to this item but the general difficulty of the U.FL Mini PCI connectors on the M.2 card versus anything specific to this product.

Fast and fully functional
Used this on an m.2 wifi adapter in a new computer build, and it works great. For anyone who may be having trouble joining the connector to the adapter itself, what I've found with this type of connector is that while your first instinct is to try to connect it in the direction the wire will eventually go (straight out from the edge), sometimes they just don't want to fit that way, and if that's the case what will work is if you connect it from the side (as if the wire were going to run out from the side edge of the card) and then rotate it 90 degrees into place afterwards. Could save you a lot of headache.

Lack of instructions for install, but works fine with Intel Wireless-Ac 9260
Bought this antenna set for my Intel Wireless-AC 9260 m.2 key in my Desktop computer. Wanted to pair bluetooth devices to my computer for listening to music. Works well, paired to my Samsung sound bar, Taotronics bluetooth headphones.Only real issue was the install, where there was a lock-nut washer and it wasn't clear whether this needed to be on the inside or outside of the I/O shield. Ended up putting it onto the outside and it seemed to be correct since it helps hold the antennae connector tight to the shield. Good range too!

Pay Attention to Item Descriptions!
The item description here is perfect. There are many items when looking for m.2 (NGFF) wifi/bt to RP-SMA Antenna Connectors (with RP-SMA Antenna) but they are typically listed or described incorrectly. If you are looking for NGFF connectors you do not have a mini pci e chip.The other thing to pay attention to is the size of the antenna and the cables. I originally bought 9dbi antenna thinking i would get great signal strength only to realize the antenna were extremely long. Totally defeated the purpose of my mini-itx build (for reference, the antenna were larger than my entire mini-case....). These are 6 dbi and they are a great size for a mini-itx build.The only shortfall here is that the cables are kind of long. It isn't that big of a deal though, Just a bit of extra cable management.

Simple and effective
I recently had a need to get new antennas for my MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI board. We had lost the original set of antennas that had come with the board and I needed a quick solution. The motherboard already had the cables running from the M.2 card to the antennas pre-installed (so I didn't have to do that), but it was very simple to simply screw in the antennas. The results were impressive: I went from having virtually zero signal strength in my dorm room to 80-90%.
