Latest driver for intel dual band wireless-n 7260 Win 10 64bit

ckrause — Thu, 05 Jan 2023 15:30:59 GMT

Hello,

I´m looking for the latest driver for the Intel dual band wireless-n 7260 for Windows 10 64bit. The official support pages are not available (404). It would be very nice if anyone could tell me a download link. (f.e. url )

Thanks and best regards,

Christian

That is correct; the part has been discontinued and Intel Customer Support is no longer supporting the download of drivers for discontinued parts. [Aside: IMHO, a truly disappointing decision. It's just disk space. So much for customer-orientation. So much for the importance and value of customer goodwill.]

The last version of the driver packages that supported these adapters was 21.10.1. I have copies of these files in my own archive. Unfortunately, due to size, I cannot post them here. I will put them into a share and send you a link for downloading them.

Hi Scott,

Thanks a lot for your reply. That is disappointing indeed.

It would be great if you could send me your download link.

Christian

Hey Scott, I would also greatly appreciate a link for the driver. I just got a similar card for my ThinkPad today (specifically the AC version of the 7260) and am unable to use it since Intel has removed the download.

Thank you,
Mia

Scott,

I also need the most recent update to the AC 7260 wireless adapter. Could you send a link to me also? Would really appreciate it as my current version is not recognizing my new internet router from T-Mobile. Hopefully this upgrade may work.

Scott,

Thanks for your prompt response, but for some reason, I am not able to access private messages. I am registered on the this Intel Community, but not an Intel employee. Is that the reason? Any advice would be appreciated.

Greetings,

I'm also looking for the last Windows 10 Bluetooth and Wireless drivers for the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 module.

I had been planning on replacing the faulty Qualcomm module (driver issues that make the Bluetooth unreliable and the WiFi unable to connect to some newer networking devices) in my old ASUS K43SV laptop with a newer, more capable wireless module and I settled on the 7260.

Lo and behold I just missed out on Intel discontinuing support for that old module.

So if anyone could help me out on this, I would be grateful.

Thank you.
