I recently installed a new Intel AC 7260 chip in my Dell Studio 1535 and connected the antennas from my old chip (white on position 1 and black on 2). I'm running windows 8.1. I downloaded driver and 16.6.0 of the wireless connection software. Installed the driver. The chip shows installed in my device manager and says working correctly, but when I go to connect to a network, it shows the list of available networks for only a split second, and then they all disappear and it says "no networks found"! Once or twice I was able to click my home network before the list goes away, but the connection only lasts a minute or two then becomes "limited connectivity." I have an Asus AC66U router.
Also of note, with the Intel proset downloads, I have Wifi Statistics, Event Viewer and Manual Diagnostics. But I cannot get the Connection Utility to install. I click the exe and the small splash screen starts up but the program never loads and I don't have Connection Utility in my system tray.
Windows troubleshooting only resets the adapter but that has not helped.
Anyone have this issue? Know whats going on? Any assistance is appreciated.
