Hello boazballa, 

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.   

In order to better assist you, please provide the following: 

1. Run the Intel® System Support Utility (Intel® SSU) and attach the report generated:  

• Open the application, check the "Everything" box, and click on "Scan" to see the system and device information. By default, Intel® SSU will take you to the "Summary View".  
• Click on the menu where it says "Summary" to change to "Detailed View".  
• To save your scan, click on "Next", then "Save".  
• Use the paperclip icon to attach the report to the thread. Please note that only one file can be attached at a time. 

2. What is the brand and model number of your router? 

3. Do you have problems with Wi-Fi only or Bluetooth is also not working?  

4. Do other devices work on the same network? If yes, please share the wireless card those devices use. 

5. Did you confirm with your system manufacturer if this Intel® Wireless-AC 7265 is fully compatible with your system? An Intel® Wireless Adapter installed in a system that is being sold on the market doesn't necessarily mean that the same wireless adapter can be used or installed in any other system. Before you install/change the Intel® Wireless Adapter in a system, you must contact the system manufacturer to determine if the Intel® Wireless Adapters you plan to install is approved for use in your system and country.

Hi
Thank you for reply. 
I attached the report.
My router is: Asus RT-AC87U
The Bluetooth also not working.
The whole house use this network.
The previous card is Intel Wireless-N 7265. It was work fine.
My devices (Lenovo Tihnkpad T450) compatible with this network card. Many people use this laptop-network card combination.
Thank you for your help.
