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,

If you trust the download site. Was it posted there by Intel? Absolutely NOT!

Regarding a permanent link, see my comments above regarding why I am doing it the way I am ( ‎02-19-2023 01:09 PM).

Hello,

I have an ASUS N751JX with Intel AC 7260 Wireless adapter 

The version of driver installed is 18.33.5.1 on Windows 10 64 bits and i can't see the Wifi 6 router.

So i need to use a RJ cable to connect to the network.

I read on Intel website that the last versions of wireless driver worked well, but are not anymore available on it

Is anyone would be so kind to give me a link to download it?

Thank you in advance for help

Laurent

I also need a copy of this driver.

Reinstalled the OS on a Alienware 17 earlier this week and now I have no WiFi.

Thank you for the time you are taking to do this!

I know it's annoying for you and I apologize for that. However I am getting code 10 in device manager and nothing has worked. I needed this latest driver to see if it was an issue with the other drivers I tried including Microsoft's and not an issue with my card.

@JordanAnderson,

As I documented in the Wireless-AC conversation, the process is not exactly as was detailed by Jonathan. Here is my process for doing the clean install:

  1. Make sure you have the Bluetooth and Wireless packages on the machine to be updated. Don't try to install them just have the packages available there.
  2. Disable Internet access. Unplug Ethernet cable and/or disable wireless. Keep disabled until told to re-enable. Note this Wireless disable must be of type that will stay disabled across reboots.
  3. From the Apps & Features applet, check for instances of Intel PROSet/Wireless Software and Intel Wireless Bluetooth. If none, skip to Step 6.
  4. Uninstall each instance of Intel PROSet/Wireless Software and/or Intel Wireless Bluetooth that is present. When prompted, choose to "Discard Settings".
  5. Manually reboot your computer, keeping Internet access disabled throughout.
  6. From the Device Manager applet, check the Network Adapters section for an entry for Intel Dual Channel Wireless-AC (or -N) 7260 and check the Bluetooth section for an entry for Intel Wireless Bluetooth that has an Intel driver associated with it. If neither is the case, go to Step 10.
  7. Right click on the entry for Intel Dual Channel Wireless-AC (or -N) 7260 and uninstall it, choosing to (checkmark) Delete the driver software for this device.
  8. Right click on the entry for Intel Wireless Bluetooth and open its properties. If it has an Intel driver associated with it, then uninstall it, choosing to (checkmark) Delete the driver software for this device.
  9. Go to Step 5.
  10. (Optional but recommended) Clean out all temporary files using the Windows Clean Disk tool. Ensure you have enabled cleaning of System Files. I recommend that you then checkmark all categories offered, even if no files currently in this category (so it leaves it set up for next invocation).
  11. (Optional but recommended) Clear each of your browsers' cache.
  12. Install the downloaded Bluetooth driver package (my rule: always install Bluetooth first).
  13. Install the downloaded Wireless driver package.
  14. Manually shutdown and reboot your computer.
  15. Reenable Internet access. Restore Ethernet cable and/or reenable wireless.
  16. Test.

Hope this helps,

...S

You are a life saver. Thank you. The problem has been solved and now I can use wifi!

 

Saved me from buying a whole new laptop just cause I couldn't figure out how to solve this issue.
