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

When I click on the link appear the message that this page can not be opened, I have to check the internet connection and so on, but internet is good at this time. The problem on the driver is that it's dropping the signal offen, losing the connection. At those time there is no one wifi network is present my or neighbours, so sometimes it's recovering automatically after few minutes, or I have to press the troubleshooting button. Sometimes it's works, sometimes it's not. Before I had the same problem with my old internet provider, but I was spliting the signal in 2 bands, 2.4 and 5 GHz, so this 5 GHz band was doing the same, always was dropping signal, but 2.4 GHz was working with no issue. But this new Modem from Linksys has no option to do this kind of selection and I have no idea how to fix dropping signal problem. Sorry for my English, I trying to express as good as I can.

You are trying to use this WLAN adapter to access updated drivers? I suggest you download from another PC or smartphone.
If you have the latest driver version already, then next question is whether a smartphone is (still) working when the PC sees no SSIDs.

Hi Scott. I also need the most recent update to the AC 7260 wireless adapter to make the wi-fi of my Inspiron 7537 run batter. Could you send a link to me also? Thanks a lot.

Thanks for your attention Scott, but I haven't found the 18.33.17.1 driver version that I think is suitable for the Intel® Wireless 7260 Family, as shown in your WiFi_21.10.1_ReleaseNotes.pdf file.

Is it possible to use a different driver?

Thanks for your attention Scott, but I haven't found the 18.33.17.1 driver version that I think is suitable for the Intel® Wireless 7260 Family, as shown in your .pdf file WiFi_21.10.1_ReleaseNotes. 

Could you help me about this?

[n_scott_pearson]

The 21.10.1 packages provide the 18.33.17.1 driver for the 7260 and 3160 series Wireless modules/cards. This is the last driver update that Intel released for these modules/cards. It provides (amongst other things) support for Windows 10 and interoperability with WiFi 6 Routers (this latter capability is what has drawn the most customers).

If your question is unrelated to this, then you need to enumerate what you are looking for.

P.S. If you installed this package and you didn't see the 18.33.17.1 driver be installed, then you need to do a clean install. That is, with all Internet access disabled, delete the Bluetooth and Wireless drivers installed, reboot and then install the provided Bluetooth and Wireless driver packages.

Hi Scott,

I'm sorry to have to ask you this also...  I would also need the latest available driver for the AC-7260.

Thanks.

I'll take a copy.

What causes this to quit working, is it a windows update?

[n_scott_pearson]

As for the 'what' question, there was an incompatibility between the WiFi4/WiFi5 7260 and 3160 adapters with WiFi6+ routers. Intel introduced a fix for this issue in the final driver release provided before support for these adapters was dropped.

Hope this helps,

Thanks. Being the anxious/impatient guy that I am I downloaded the drivers from Intel, 3 sets - Bluetooth, Wireless, and IT Admin..

I followed your instructions and 'removed the hell' out of everything listed (including using CCCleaner), rebooted an extra time, installed Bluetooth first, then installed the Wireless drivers. I have WiFi for the first time in 3 years!! 

Muchos Gracias.

Here's the link for the latest driver...

https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=400ff

My problem was that the wi-fi 6 wasn't showing at all, after the update to 18.33.17.1 everything went fine!  

On my Dell Inspiron 7437 the only way to install was the EXTRACT option and update driver trough Windows Device Manager, select the Wireless Adapter, Properties, Driver and  Search for driver in the extracted folder 

Thats it!
