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

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?

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!

No, I'm sorry, but I can't send them to you. The files are simply too large to be emailed and too large to be uploaded to the Forum. There are many hundreds of people who have successfully accessed and downloaded the files. I am not sure what your issue is, but can look into it if you explain exactly what is going on.

So I figured out the issue I'm not able to save multiple files at once had to select each one and save each one separate so it was my issue which i solved after i sent that, but thank you for the reply and thank you for hosting the files.

Hi Scott

Sir, I'm wholeheartedly grateful to you for posting legacy Intel drivers archives. I had exhausted nearly all means to obtain these drivers without which my expensive Dell precision workstations had almost become obsolete - even though their robust hardware is fully serviceable. This act of your kindness is highly appreciated. Thank you indeed.
