https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/AC-7260-frequent-ping-spikes/m-p/518820#M17591 <P>i recently went to windows 10 and the driver is shit shit shit! bad spikes in dota2 and csgo. i tried something which reduced the spikes. i off the windows 10 wifi sense and add ScanWhenAssociated to the registry. but i need more than that cuz the minor spikes can be frustrating too </P> Sat, 12 Sep 2015 06:38:52 GMT STan12 2015-09-12T06:38:52Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/AC-7260-frequent-ping-spikes/m-p/518777#M17548 <P>Anyone has had issues with this card? I cant seem to get rid of the regular and frustrating ping spikes. Im on Windows 7, running a Dell Precision 3800 laptop. I'm on an ASUS AC68U router, though Ive tried others with the same result. Ive also tried different driver versions and even reformatted my system to no avail. Anyone know whats going on? The collective knowledge of the internet seems rather divided and inconclusive on this matter despite my scouring of its depths over the last few days. Its definitely something to do with the wireless card. I just dont know what.</P><P></P><P>Here is the results I get when I ping my router. As you can see its sitting pretty dandy at 1ms and then it suddenly decides to explode to some ridiculous number for a second or two then it goes back to normal again.</P><P></P><P>Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=160ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=80ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=190ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=109ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=82ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64</P><P>Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=80ms TTL=64</P><P>&lt;span style="color: # 333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial,...</P> Sat, 12 Jul 2014 17:48:44 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/AC-7260-frequent-ping-spikes/m-p/518777#M17548 idata 2014-07-12T17:48:44Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/AC-7260-frequent-ping-spikes/m-p/518778#M17549 <P>I would guess that your neighbor has a device that operates on 5 GHz that interferes with your WiFi. 5 GHz interference isn't too common even in RF congested areas unless your neighbor is using 5.8 GHz home phone for example.</P><P></P><P>I just tested mine and only got exactly 1 random spike to 44ms (probably router is busy as I have other 5 GHz devices streaming internet at the same time as I'm doing this test) so I don't consider that it's wireless card fault unless yours is a hardware fault</P><P></P><P></P> Sat, 12 Jul 2014 18:42:17 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/AC-7260-frequent-ping-spikes/m-p/518778#M17549 tvete 2014-07-12T18:42:17Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/AC-7260-frequent-ping-spikes/m-p/518779#M17550 <P>Thanks for the reply.

I was actually able to reproduce the issue and can confirm this. You can do so yourself.</P><P></P><P>Go to cmd, type ping <A href="http://www.google.com">www.google.com</A> -t</P><P></P><P>If you're on Windows 8 or 8.1, all you need to do is access the wireless network list by clicking on the wireless icon on the bottom right and it will automatically refresh. For those on Windows 7, click the wireless icon on the bottom right and click on the refresh button next to your connected network. As you are doing this, you'll notice that the ping counter on the command prompt will spike up. I thought it was an issue with the card as well and I was wondering about getting a replacement as well. It can be ridiculously annoying for gaming. It seems as though Windows likes to re scan for networks periodically causing random lag spikes. If there was a way to stop scanning while you're connected to a network, that would be great.</P><P></P><P>UPDATE: Oh boy, I was able to find a solution. It involves using the Registry Editor. Be careful not to change anything else except for the things that are listed.</P><P></P><P>1. Open Registry Editor (Windows 8/8.1, right click where Start button was, click Run, type regedit. Windows 7, click Start, click Run, type regedit)</P><P></P><P>2. Head to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System\ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Class \ {4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318} [Be sure to expand the 4d36e.... folder]</P><P></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>3. Inside will be a number of folders named 0000, 0001, 0002, etc. Look through all these folders until you get one that says Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 in the registry.</P><P></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>4. Once the device has been found, search for a value called ScanWhenAssociated.</P><P></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>5. If you see this value, set it to 0 on hexadecimal. If you don't see the value, click edit from the top, select new, and click DWORD (32-bit) value. Rename this value to ScanWhenAssociated (exactly as shown). Make sure this value is set to 0 on hexadecimal.</P><P></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>6. Restart the computer. This is important. The changes won't take effect unless you do.</P><P></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I rebooted and tried using cmd to ping <A href="http://google.com">google.com</A>. I refreshed the networks and PRESTO! There were no more lag spikes!!! Try it out yourself. I'll give this a couple more days of testing.

Wifi has been a disaster from the get go. Can not even complete a speed test with 5GHz. 2.4 works some but is very flakey. Setting ScanWhenAssociated did not fix things for me, as some have reported. I have an older ROG with a Broadcom AC adapter and it works perfectly on a multitude of wifi networks with all sorts of hardware. I have probably 10 other devices on my home router/wifi on both 2.4 and 5 and all work fine. </P><P></P><P>This Intel 7260 card seems to be a nightmare for many people. Intel forums are knee deep in complaints. I love this laptop but I have no choice but to return it. If you can not turn on your laptop and use wifi internet wherever you are, it is not a laptop.</P><P></P><P>I have wasted a day of my precious time reading through pages of posts and trying ridiculous voodoo style solutions. I will only buy Broadcom from now on.</P> Sun, 08 Mar 2015 09:55:11 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/AC-7260-frequent-ping-spikes/m-p/518795#M17566 RAber1 2015-03-08T09:55:11Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/AC-7260-frequent-ping-spikes/m-p/518796#M17567 <P>Hello Randy88,</P><P></P><P>We understand you just received your new laptop with the Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 already installed in it, correct?</P><P>Our recommendation is that you check with the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) if they have any updates for this wireless card as they adapted the card to fit their system.
