Windows 10: Intel dual band wireless ac 7260 unable to turn wifi on

RyviusRan · Jan 14, 2020

I recently decided to upgrade the wifi for my HP envy dv4 laptop.

It came with an intel centrino wireless n 2230 which is capped at less than half my normal download speed.

I made sure to uninstall the drivers for the 2230 before putting in the newer 7260.

I also made sure to download the drivers for the 7260.

After I put in the 7260 and installed the drivers it was correctly detected in my device manager.

The problem was that I was unable to turn on the wifi. Every time I went into the network manager to try turning it on it would just turn right back off without connecting.

Anyone know how to solve this issue?

:)

There were new Windows 10 drivers (version 21.00.0) released for that WiFi card on 9 April 2019, you should download and install those form the Intel Website:
