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?

Super Scott please rescue me too!  Do you still do that?

Gosh, everything they delete they instead ought to just turn over to the user community.  What the heck?

Never mind on that contact; found one of the links.  Thanks for putting them up!

Intel released only a single driver package that contained the compatibility fixes for WiFi 6 routers. Then, almost immediately afterwards, they discontinued the adapter and removed support for it from the subsequent driver packages (if you install a subsequent package, it will not update the driver as you would expect). No, you must specifically install the 21.10.1 packages (which provide the 18.33.17.1 Wireless driver and 20.100.5.1 Bluetooth driver).

Intel, in all their wisdom, next decided to remove all downloads for products that have been discontinued. Luckily, when I saw these discontinuation notices, I saved away copies of the final driver release packages in my archive. I currently have a portion of this archive in the cloud and you can download the driver packages (Wireless and Bluetooth) from there. Use this link: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AtacZBU04mo-j-tQ34BdSDv6y1BFsg?e=7gn50T to access my archive.

Hi ! Bluetooth of my MSI GE70 2PE Apache Pro 2014 (Intel Dualband ac 3160) couldn't detect any device after a fresh reinstall and fortunately I found your post.

I installed the BT_21.10.1_64Win10 driver (Works with W11) and it finally worked !

I created an account just to thank you !

You don't need a private link to access it. Use the public link: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AtacZBU04mo-j-tQ34BdSDv6y1BFsg?e=7gn50T to access my archive. Subfolders provide final driver packages for almost all of the Discontinued Wireless adapters.

Intel(R) dual band wireless-AC 7260. I can't connect to the wifi

[n_scott_pearson]

The final release packages that included support for the 3160, 7260 and 7265-C adapters were version 21.10.1. These packages provided Wireless driver 18.33.17.1 and Bluetooth driver 20.100.5.1.

Because Intel no longer provides download support for discontinued adapters, I created a share where I make available the final driver packages for most of these adapters. Use this link: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AtacZBU04mo-j-tQ34BdSDv6y1BFsg?e=7gn50T to access this share.

It's not a bad idea. Technically speaking, all of the drivers are up there already and available using the Wayback Machine. That's if you know how to use it. Have a knowledge of the old folder structure Intel used. Oh, and have the time it takes to dig anything out.

There's a lot of context (how-to's, etc.) that would need to be collected to make it a viable save set and this will take some time to product/collect.
