#DELL AC 7260 DRIVER DRIVERS#
It will happily pull a set of working drivers from Windows update if you're feeling lazy. driver support under Windows with the Azurewave / Broadcom, but once drivers are installed - it actually works (reliably) and very well outside of Windows too. If I hear any complaints about it further, it's coming out though. It behaves with Bluetooth the same as mine but resumes ok from Sleep (likely to do with the lack of power management on Dell's firmware side of things as that thing sucks power like a Dyson does dust). I was also unfortunate enough to buy another one before I bought my system to go in the Mrs' Dell laptop. It likes to drop 5.2GHz connections when trying to pair Bluetooth 4.0 devices and can take an exceeding amount of time to reconnect to an access point (~5 mins) when resuming Windows from sleep or hibernate.
It also quite frequently goes ape-# under Ubuntu / OpenSUSE when coming back from a low power state. Ironically, Bluetooth still works in this broken state but not any better than normal.
#DELL AC 7260 DRIVER INSTALL#
If you are unfortunate to install their control software, it might soft kill the antenna on start up until both the software and driver are un-installed (hence why they don't support it I guess). The Intel card gave me nothing but grief with Bluetooth devices and anything to do with WiFi direct / MyWiFi etc doesn't work / not supported under Windows 8.1 圆4. I've just removed one (Intel AC-7260) from my Gigabyte Z97N-Gaming 5 board two weeks ago and replaced it with an Azurewave AW-CE123H (Broadcom 4352 / 20702 based AC & BT 4.0). (Yes, I know about blacklisting.) What I'd like to know if Intel has managed to fix all the Wireless problems of it, and if I'll receive a much better experience.Īlso, I'd like to know if Intel is going to release a newer model, and when (to see if it's worth the upgrade). I have August's drivers and I haven't been able to fix those issues. I have sudden drops and I'm about to kill myself. I remember reading a comment on Amazon telling me that from "cheaper sellers" there were many counterfeits.
#DELL AC 7260 DRIVER HOW TO#
#2: I need to install a modified version of the BIOS (already know how to do that and where to look that) #1: Thanks!!!! I need to check that thing very well.
The results are that one worked perfectly one was sent with the wrong assembly (Dell part instead of Lenovo part, seller credited me for the mistake) and one was an engineering prototype that didn't work in any computer. I have purchased three cards from different seller on eBaby.
