Intel Dual Band Wireless AC-3160 drivers

[nice1488]

I bought a LG 24V360 computer a while ago and a few days ago I formatted it for some problems, I installed the drivers but I can't find anything about Intel Dual Band Wireless AC-3160 drivers for Windows 10 and I found that it is discontinued, what can I do?

Yea, best you are going to be able to do with this card is a WiFi 5 connection. Still, if this is working at a reasonable rate, you should be all set to putter along until you decide the whole thing needs to be upgraded.

I am pleased that I can still use this old laptop now so delighted with WiFi 5.

I suspect that it would be difficult to get a card that would be compatible with my old Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series ( the one with the hard drive and no internal SSD).

However really happy to take your advice if you can recommend a newer card.

Thank you again for providing access to the driver. You have saved me from buying a new laptop that I  do not really need!

@Mike-Ireland - my advice is detailed above (see 7/27/23 post). Physically, unless Dell permanently soldered the silicon to their motherboard, you should be able to install a replacement card. The big question is whether Dell pulled a slimy move and blocked upgrades using an Inclusion/Exclusion list in their BIOS. This I can't answer - and Dell support likely will play dumb.

Thank you. I will try over the next couple of months and come back to the forum to report.

I have been doling out the drivers to one user at a time, so that I could collect user information to use in my argument that the files need to be reposted. I am at the point of giving up, however. Intel is saying that there is a security risk associated with reposting the drivers and that Intel Legal is simply not going to allow it.

So, I am providing a share link here that will allow anyone to pull the final file releases for the various discontinued Wireless Adapters that I had archived: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AtacZBU04mo-j-tQ34BdSDv6y1BFsg?e=7gn50T. Where possible, I have included the original Release Note files; where not possible, I have created Release Note files with what information I have access to.

If someone wants to take these files and put them on a file sharing service, go for it. Let me know where they are available and I will remove them from my share.
