All of my other devices work except for this one. They disconnect so frequently I always have to manually disable and enable the network adapter, which is a dualband wireless AC7260

What is the model number of your device?

What is the model number of your processor?

What version of Windows 10? 1903? 1909?

Did the AC7260 come with your device, or did you add it yourself?

You are using version 1709, from October 2017, which is not supported by Microsoft or Intel. Get yourself upgraded to 1903 or 1909.

Ok. So I give up. I spoke to Asus and they gave me 3 options. Uninstall the driver and reinstall it, that didnt work. Download new drivers but I already have the newest ones installed. And do a factory reset which is not what I wanted to do. I then talked to 2 intel agents, one of them told me to rollback my update that someone said I needed to do. That didnt work. The new update didnt either. Then they said that my driver is not going to be able to be worked on december. So Im just gonna give up. Im gonna uninstall the drivers and get a usb adapter.
