Intel AC7265 Solution - Super fast AC speeds

1,517 Views

I have been on the forums for a while trying to get a solution to my stupid AC7265 connecting at the speed of molasses. The tech support is not helpful at all, the driver updates did nothing, but I am pleased to say I finally found solution!

The solution unfortunately costs $17.

Step 1) Go to ebay.com

Step 2) search for BCM43162

Step 3) the Lenovo E455 laptop has the same chip in case you need a driver

The best speed I ever got from my Intel AC chip was 25mbps, now I'm getting my full rated speed!!

This is the solution for the M.2 (NGFF) adapter. If you have a mini pcie you can find an "azurewave" chip on amazon or ebay.
