Intel Wireless Ac 7260 Driver Download

[Baudilio Eliason]

when it drops, it's usually "connected, no internet" or such, it doesn't see any other wi-fi, I have to turn off wi-fi, then disable wi-fi adapter, then turn it back on and I can connect (for another minute)

-only one time (a month ago) I managed to 100% fix and it's after I formatted pc, 5 hours internet worked fine, then windows did a ghost update, internet started dropping ever 1-15 minutes, then rolled back driver, then internet wi-fi worked 100% fine, this is how I know the issue is your worthless broken drivers for dual band wireless ac-7260.

I bought the laptop with this card inside it, but it's not embedded. You can detach the 2 tiny cables and remove the card from the slot, same way you can remove the RAM. So maybe the previous person changed it, but I doubt that.

Are you suggesting that this intel wireless card AC 7260 NGW was never meant to be compatible with asus G751JT laptops? If not, then where's the list of compatible cards for this laptop? OR, since this is intel, where's the list of compatible laptops? Or maybe I'm asking irrelevant questions.

Only the original equipment manufacturer can ensure compatibility with the wireless card that is installed in the computer or provide a list of possible upgrades, this is because we do not have the motherboard design information or limitations.

There are two different types of drivers, generics provided by Intel and Equipment Manufacturer drivers, that are customized to work with each specific system. The best thing to do is to use the drivers provided by the system manufacturer or through Windows Update to eliminate the potential impact caused by loading non-custom drivers.

Locate the drivers you downloaded back in Step 1. Run as administrator, and follow the wizard to completion. To run as administrator, right-click over the file you downloaded and select the option to Run as administrator. You should test first the driver provided by Asus as they have been validated to work with your system, if that does not work then you can do the same procedure with the Intel generic driver.

Keep in mind that you have this problem for 4 years now and also based on the fact that you have tested several drivers, there is the chance that the issue is related to a hardware or compatibility failure, the best recommendation we can provide if the drivers we provided doesn't work, is to contact Asus* directly they should provide a fully compatible driver and also guide you with the proper troubleshooting to find out if the issue is hardware related.

thanks for the reply, I've tried those steps in that order AND several other ways with several other driver versions, I observed no difference (doesn't mean it didn't do anything). I also tried your steps again for the past several days, at one point internet seemed to be stable... and then it started again. I didn't open any new program or installed anything, but yet again it did the same issue as before. I connect, within 1 minute disconnected, have to restart pc to reconnect.

This time I can give you this error, it says it's from intel so you should be able to give me a reason why the driver is asking for a reset, and maybe why it fails to reset. Instead of connecting back, it just says "secured, no internet", doesn't see any other wi-fi, I can't turn off wi-fi, adapter looks disabled and I can't enable it, I can't disable it, I have to restart pc but I can't do that either because it's stuck on a "restarting" screen so I have to push the power button. As if a certain program is unable to end. A certain WIFI program... which I can't find

I also noticed a few times where I get a disconnect simply because I opened windows media player, OR when I was on phone hotspot (which is usually a lot more stable and doesn't disconnect... USUALLY) I open a web page and several seconds afterwards I get a disconnect.

btw a few days ago I fixed the issue for 1-3 days by using "NETSH winsock reset catalog". Yesterday night and this morning, I was shutting down the computer by the power button (since computer wouldn't restart otherwise and stayed in a loop). What seemed to "fix" it (FOR NOW) is that I turned on the computer, did not connect to the internet, restarted, then turned on wi-fi and now it works. As if my pc wanted a normal restart without connecting to the internet.

We think that the behavior can be related to a hardware issue based on the fact that you have been experiencing this for around 4 years, meaning that you have tested all the available driver versions provided by Intel and the manufacturer, also you have changed your router and ISP provider.

I have the problem on my Dell Precision M4800 using an Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC7260 network card running v 17.15.0.5 software, of not being able to connect to the internet in Normal Mode, but being able in Safe Mode with Networking. The problem also exists if I connect via the Ethernet. This was disconnected and driver disabled after testing and just the WiFi connection was used.

I downloaded the driver software v 18.20.09 but though it loaded, it did not start and I don't know what to do further. So I am back on v 17.15.0.5 in Safe Networking Mode. If I look at Network Connections via Windows Key + X, it shows that status as being disconnected from the internet 'though I can access it with all programs, Can you assist please?

I just got a chinese wifi card with this chipset and it could not detect my wifi. I said wtf, the wifi was working properly. Thank god it dawned on me to check the card's specifics, I googled its chipset drivers and ended up here. Yeah it works now. Windows should have detected that there are newer drivers right away, if you ask me. Anyhoo. Thanks again.

Intel is not (reliably) hosting these packages on their website any longer. I archived the final versions myself and have set up a share where they can be downloaded. Use this link: !AtacZBU04mo-j-tQ34BdSDv6y1BFsg?e=7gn50T to access my archive. Subfolders provide final driver packages for most of Intel's discontinued Wireless adapters (see folder names for supported adapters).

Thank you for your assistance. I downloaded the driver through your link and this time v 18.33.17.1 was installed correctly. When I started in Normal mode, Internet access was possible for a short time then the problem reoccurred. Maybe this is not a driver problem. Time to try Linux maybe?

Hhmmm, ok. IDK whether this is an issue in the Wireless driver, in the driver's version of the card's firmware, or is an issue in Windows itself. What I can say is, if you made it work before, this may be a clue as to what is happening in the Windows environment. If you cannot resolve it, understand that the card is discontinued and there will be no subsequent updates to the driver or firmware. If operation in Windows is absolutely necessary, then spend the US$20 and get an AX200 or AX210 card.

I just re-read your original post. I noticed that you also said that the same issue happened when you used an ethernet connection instead of Wireless. If this is actually the case, then I would say that the hairy finger is pointing at something in the Windows installation/configuration - something ignored when in Safe Mode. My suggestion in this case is to try a clean reinstall of Windows and see if that will resolve the issue. Obviously, you should attempt this before spending any money.

I bought a Gigabyte GA-X99-Gaming G1 WIFI motherboard that came with an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Plus Bluetooth adapter. I have a NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Dual Band Wi-Fi Gigabit Router (R7000). I though that the combination of these two would give me 300 Mbps for N wifi and 867 Mpbs for 5GHz for AC wifi. But the current speeds are much lower. When I connect to 2.4GHz I get around 120 Mbps at most. When I connect to 5GHz I get around 87 Mbps at most. I have searched forums all over the internet and I have read some of the threads here but I can't find a solution. I have all the latest drivers for the router and for the 7260 adapter. Also the lastest BIOS and all the Windows updates (8.1). I have tinkered with all sort of combinations of settings in the router and in the 7260 adapter. And this seems to be a problem with the 7260 adapter because other devices seem to be fine and achieve better speeds, specially in the 5GHz frequency. Can someone help me out here please? I am desperate, I don't know what else to do. It really disappoints me to have so many problems with this. Specially seeing that so many people have problems with these Intel wifi adapters. I can't believe Intel releases products so buggy, specially because I am an Intel employee, I though our goal was to make high quality, flawless products.

For further assistance, we would like to know the version of the operating system (32 or 64 bit), wireless driver shown in device manager, type of authentication and distance from the PC to the wireless router.

I made sure and I have all the same settings you posted. WMM is enabled in the router. I am using the latest drivers for the 7260. The OS is Windows 8.1 64 bit. Type of authentication is none (open) (my closest neighbour lives 300m away, so no one is going to steal my wifi :P). The PC is in the room next to the router, so it's less than 2 m away but with a wall between them (I always get 3-4 out of 4 bars).
