Can somebody help me answer this question? I have a T460 (not T460s or T460p) that has Intel Wireless-AC 8260NGW. I see BCM94352Z (Dell DW1560) as the best-recommended replacement WiFi Card at various places. However, before ordering I wanted to ensure compatibility.

 

Per https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Dell_Wireless_1560_(DW1560) it seems to have a U.FL Antenna Connectors. 

But 8260NGW has MHF4 Antenna Connectors per https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Intel_Dual_Band_Wireless-AC_8260_(8260NGW)

 

So I wanted to know if I replace 8260NGW with DW1560, would I need some additional adapter for the differences in antenna connectors or is the information wrong at Wikidevi.com?

 

I also know that there's another variation of BCM94352Z (Lenovo 04X6020). This has MHF4 per https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Foxconn_T77H543.00 but seems to have a different socket connector.

 

8260NGW and DW1560 are like this...

04X6020 has like this...

I'm pretty sure the wikidevi information for the DW1560 antenna connectors is incorrect. Due to their own reduced size, MGFF/M.2 card are typically fitted with MHF4 connectors; it's a much smaller connector. If you look at your 2 x pictures, you can see the connectors clearly look absolutely identical.

 

if you need further confirmation, I trust this will lift any doubt:
