Latest driver for intel dual band wireless-n 7260 Win 10 64bit

[ckrause]

Hello,

I´m looking for the latest driver for the Intel dual band wireless-n 7260 for Windows 10 64bit. The official support pages are not available (404). It would be very nice if anyone could tell me a download link. (f.e. url )

Thanks and best regards,

Christian

I forgot to mention, if I could also get the Win10 x64 driver, it would be much appreciated. I've been unsuccessful on a couple of attempts at upgrading that laptop to Win10 because of some update failure, but if I ever succeed, it would be good to have the corresponding AC 7260 driver.

[Yorg]

So, I managed to get myself sorted out by using the Microsoft Windows update catalog. For anyone else interested in trying this, you can go to https://catalog.update.microsoft.com and search for 'AC 7260' and any other keywords for your setup. I also used the freeware 'Snappy Driver Installer Origin' to detect the missing driver (after I uninstalled it) and show the hardware IDs to add to the keyword search to narrow it down but that might not be necessary. I just wanted to be totally sure I was getting compatible drivers. There were a number of versions to pick from dating back to 2013. I picked the latest driver 18.33.17.1 dated 2019-04-29 and things are working okay now.

Scott, I still wouldn't mind getting whatever latest you have for Win8.1 and Win10, just in case. Thanks.

Any chance to receive them as well?

Hi Scott!

Could you send the download link to me as well?
Maybe upload the link to this forum?

Thank you!

Hi, Scott

I'm really sorry to bother you with, what I think is #63rd request, but I just can't find those drivers anywhere else. If you could send me newest drivers for "Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260" that would be great! I am really disappointed with Intel for removing downloads for discontinued products. In my case, my cousin was considering buying new laptop only because his laptop does not detect new wifi network. He's not tech-savvy and I believe that there are more people with similar problems. You are really saving peoples money and older working devices from being thrown out, thank you for that!

Can we make it 61 and if you could shoot me a PM with the instructions too? 

Thanks for the assistance in advance

I'd also like the latest driver for Windows 10 and the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260.  I'm having all kinds of trouble finding it anywhere.  I reloaded Windows 10 on my laptop and it's now my wireless is unstable. Thanks a ton!

Hello Scott,

could you help me out too?

Thank you very very much.

To all users experiencing Wifi Connectivity issues with AC 7260, If you happen to be running Sophos Connect on an HP laptop, Sophos has a fix (disabling the HP Wifi/LAN Switching Service) that was my issue (in addition to an old driver).

SOPHOS CONNECT HP COMPUTER dropping Wifi with Intel Wifi AC 7260: 

Run > Enter text services.msc > Press Enter

Locate HP/LAN/WLAN/WWAN Switching UWP Service > Right Click - Properties

General Tab - Start-up Type: > Change drop down to "Disabled"

Also a shout out to Scott for assisting myself and so many others with the latest drivers! Thank you Scott.
