Installing drivers for 3168

[Adrianlllll]

I’ve been trying to install drivers for intel dual band wireless-ac 3168. No matter what I try nothing works. I’ve tried device manager searching for the driver, using the exe, trying a inf (there isn’t any)
A error always occurs and I do not have any drivers installed, I believe this issue also occurred even when I had drivers. What can I do to fix this issue?

This is a wireless card that is so old that Intel has discontinued it and is no longer providing interactive support nor hosting driver downloads for it. If you attempt to use the latest available drivers on the Intel site, you will find that it does not work with this card.

All is not lost. I saved away copies of the final driver release packages for most of the discontinued cards in my archive. I currently have a portion of this archive in the cloud and you can download the Wireless and Bluetooth driver packages from there. Use this link: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AtacZBU04mo-j-tQ34BdSDv6y1BFsg?e=7gn50T to access my archive. Subfolders provide final driver packages for most of the Discontinued Wireless adapters. In your case, you want the drivers in folder Wireless-AC 3165, 3168, 7265-D.

Hope this helps,
