Windows 10: intel dual band wireless ac 7260 problem

I bought this card for my Dell Inspiron 1521 laptop early last year when a Windows creator's update caused my original WI-FI card to no longer work.


Back then I tried this one and it had the problem of showing no WI-FI networks even though I am 5 feet from my router which my cellphone picks up just fine.


I tried all suggestions I could find online back then and nothing worked.


Just now decided to try again since it's been a year with several updates and feature updates having been done throughout the year thinking Microsoft would have fixed the Windows problem causing this card not to work, but I still have the same exact problem.

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 constantly drops connection


Hey guys,

Thanks for your answers. I really appreciate this

Sadly, my problem is still present. After I fully uninstalled the Killer E2200 Ethernet card (+ drivers) and the Intel AC Dual Band AC Wireless-AC 7260 (+ drivers),

my Wireless Network did not reconnected itself for some hours. But I guess that was just luck.

Yesterday, I had the same issue multiple times again.

I also took screenshots from the eventvwr, maybe this helps further. If you don't understand the german eventlog, please let me know. I tried to translate the event logs under the Imgur images, as well:

Do you have any other suggestions? After searching through some online forums with the info of the eventvwr in mind, i found some examples of ppl with the same problem like me.

For example this one: https://communities.intel.com/thread/109381

Thanks in advance and best regards,

 

Windows 10 Intel Wireless-AC 7260 driver requires further installation.

To all,

For what it's worth, there were updated drivers issued, ironically enough, on 10/16/17 for the Intel 7260 card (wireless and Bluetooth).
