MaraXus,

In this particular case that you bought this computer with this adapter already installed, first recommendation is to contact Dell* and report this situation and also check if they have any driver updates that might resolve this inconvenience. You may find your computer manufacturer contact information here: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/topics/OEMs.html Computer Manufacturer Support Websites

On the other hand, you can also try a clean installation of the drivers if after using the computer manufacturer drivers you notice this situation still persists. Here is how you can do it:

1. Access this link: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/75442/Intel-Dual-Band-Wireless-AC-3160 Downloads for Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 and download the driver according to your OS version and architecture (32 or 64 Bit).

2. Then, go to Control Panel, Programs and Features and Uninstall "Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software", if it is installed. When prompted, choose the option to "Discard settings".

3. In Control Panel, Device Manager, Network Adapters, right click on the Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 and Uninstall it. Make sure you mark the option to "Delete the driver software for this device".

4. Reboot the PC or scan for hardware changes, check device manager and if an older driver is detected and installed, repeat the actions to uninstall and delete it as well. Repeat this process until the OS does not allow deleting the driver, or until the controller shows as Unknown Device.

5. Install the Intel® Wireless driver. During the first steps of PROSet/Wireless installation, make sure to customize the installation and install all the 3 driver components.

Best Regards,

Aleki
