New AC 7260 device cannot start Code 10

[VPan]

Hi, I have been having issues with my wifi card. My earlier card on my laptop was discontinued and I couldnt get the drivers for it. Which lead me to buy a new wifi card the dual band AC 7260. Install went fine and now it generates a code 10 and states the device cannot start. Why is this happening and how can I fix it. I have followed your steps listed on some other threads. Uninstalling it, clearing the temp files, installing it again etc. but same result.

Please help. Am really frustrated with your products now.

Hello vibzpan,

I understand that you are receiving an error code after you installed the new wireless card. Regarding this, I would like to mention that in order to properly upgrade the wireless card and/or replace it, you first need to get in contact with the computer manufacturer (Your laptop's manufacturer), this is because there are certain things that must be considered before changing the adapter. Please refer to the link below in order to have more information about it: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005687/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking.html https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005687/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking.htmlFor that reason, my best recommendation in this case is for you to contact the manufacturer of your laptop so this way you can get the best assistance and successfully upgrade/install the wireless adapter.Regards,David V

Hello vibzpan,

Thank you for your response.I was reviewing the information in the System Support Utility report and I can see that in fact, this system was manufactured by an OEM. In this case, you will need to contact Dell* for further support with the issue with the network adapter. Remember that always, before replacing the wireless adapter, you need to contact the manufacturer for assistance with this, it is also possible that the adapter you got is defective, it is advisable to try with a different one if you have access to one, but again, this is something that must be done with Dell's directions/instructions.I apologize for any inconvenience.Regards,David V
