Hello Gert57,

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.

We appreciate the report provided and we would like you to try a clean installation of the latest driver we have available for your current adapter; however, please bear in mind that our drivers are generic which means that they don’t come with any customizations for your system and, since your computer is considered an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) system, the recommended drivers you can get for it are the ones from HP’s website since they come with customizations that might be needed so the computer can function as it’s supposed to.

Important note: Based on the report you provided it seems that the adapter that you currently have installed is not the original one that the computer came with, we understand that upgrades are sometimes something needed; however, since this is considered an integration you need to bear in mind that we can’t guaranteed functionality and performance, HP must validate the full compatibility of this adapter before you can fully integrate it because without any customized drivers from their end this integration might not be successful.

Hi Victor_G.

Thanks for your kind assistance. Just for your information I got a new Gigabit Network connection, so I closed down the old OEM Intel AC7260 and replaced this with the brand new AX200 wifi6 card in a free PCIe slot. I installed the driver from the CD that was supplied with the card. Work perfectly. The Intel Driver & Support Assistant software continued to tell that there was an update (22.20). But as I mentioned earlier it wouldn't install it!

I tried your suggestion with a clean installation - this did not work either, so I had to install the old one from the CD. I have googled and found a recommend driver update software called Driver Booster from IOBit and - surprise, surprise - after 4-5 times trying to update the card it finally updated to the new 22.20.0.6 version. And everything works;-)

Thank for helping out
