Intel AC-8260 on Windows 10 - connectivity difficulties

May 2, 2016, 1:16 pm

Hello,

 

I have a new laptop that includes the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 network adapter, and have been having a persistent issue with my wireless connection stopping responding. This is on Windows 10 (10.0.10856)

 

The symptoms are that the connection still appears to remain active (so the network indicator in Windows reports that the connection is still active) and I can see continuing "sent" activity in the wifi status dialog, but "received" activity is minimal and web browsers report no connection and/or DNS errors. I can readily re-establish a connection by disconnecting and reconnecting immediately (or disabling and re-enabling wifi), but the frequency of this issue is becoming very frustrating. There doesn't appear to be any specific interval at which this occurs and it seems to be very variable - it can recur within minutes, or at other times be a few hours before it happens. No other devices on the same network have any similar issue.

 

I've tried using both the manufacturer-provided and latest version (18.40.0) of the drivers, but the issue is the same with both. I've even gone as far as a clean Windows reinstall, but am having the same issue.

 

Any advice as to how I might be able to resolve this would be very much appreciated!

I have some roaming issues with my laptops (windows 10 laptops with Intel AC-8260 - driver 18.0.40.9). I will connect them using 802.11r features. Is it possible? Wireless infrastructure is Cisco Wireless Lan Controllers. Thanks

Bug report: ac-7265's bluetooth cannot pop up the hint dialog to receive a file.

Win 7 32bit, dell E5450, ac-7265's bluetooth with the newest intel or dell driver, when other machine sends a file, it cannot pop up the hint dialog to receive the file.

 

If I install a clean win7 and then ac-7265's bluetooth driver, receiving and sending do work, but after install some other normal softwares and reboot several times, the receiveing is not available.

 

After reboot, the first sending from other machine o 7265's bluetooth always keeps failing, it seems that the first time just asks 7265's OS to launch some processes needed by bluetooth.

 

And the bluetooth icon of right-click menu disappears forever after I uninstall the driver and reinstall it, it means I cannot send files with right-click menu.

 

I just need sending and receiving files - very basic features of bluetooth, please fixed these bugs ASAP.

How do I use APTX with Intel AC 7620 on home-made Windows 10 PC? Where do I get the APTX drivers?

Other folks with this question were told "check with the OEM"

 

In my case INTEL is the OEM.  I bought the Intel AC 7620 from an Intel reseller - NewEgg - so Intel is the OEM.

 

I built my own PC using an Intel i74790k CPUand and an Intel BOXDB85FL LGA 1150  motherboard.

 

SO

 

INTEL is THE OEM

 

What drivers do I need to use to use APTX audio over bluetooth???  Where do I get them?

 

I hope INTEL  can provide appropriate support for this INTEL product.

Intel, PLEASE standardize driver and application version numbers and release dates!

I'm doing a periodic check for driver updates. Every time, the same issue drives me nuts, which is the lack of consistency in the way that Intel assigns version numbers to drivers which are used by the intel driver download website and the intel driver update utility. This applies to many, if not most, intel drivers.

 

For the record, my computer is an HP ZBook G2 laptop with Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 (wifi and Bluetooth). I have discussed drivers with HP support and they have no problem with users downloading drivers from the Intel, rather than from the HP website or using the HP support assistant utility. A related issue is why the wifi and Bluetooth parts of this chipset are decoupled requiring separate drivers. If they are separate products, why not separate them in the software download center?

 

Here are some examples relating to the wifi and Bluetooth device.

 

First from the device manager:

Next from Programs and Features:

Note the inconsistency with the device manager.

Note the inconsistency with the device manager, and it even reports two different versions!!!!

 

Next from the Intel driver update utility:

The intel driver update utility can't even figure out what version the Bluetooth driver is! It thinks it's the same as the wifi!

 

Next from the file manager:

I hope this is enough evidence that this issue is real and needs to be fixed.

 

If that's not enough, the website reports newer driver versions for the wifi than the driver update utility:

The version recommended by the intel driver update utility isn't even shown on the driver download website! Why are these shown as applications when they are drivers?

 

Note also the application, version 3.1.1311, dated 2014. What is this item?

 

If I filter only drivers, the only items are drivers for the Bluetooth, none for wifi!!!!

When I see this sort of garbage from the Intel, I can't help but wonder how the company can claim to have anything remotely referred to as a software documentation and release methodology.

Bluetooth only works after restart

Laptop: Lenovo Flex 3 1470

OS: Windows 10 pro x64

Card: AC-3160

Driver: 18.40.0

 

I have this strangest issue with my Lenovo Flex 3 1470. My built in bluetooth receiver only turns on when i restart windows. If I shut off windows completly and then turn it back on again, bluetooth doesnt work. The icon is dissapeared from the action center and from the device manager. In this state (with laptop on and bluetooth not working), if I restart windows (through start>on/off>restart) the bluetooth device suddenly becomes available upon rebooting. And it works completly stable with all connected devices. I don't want to restart my laptop every time I want to use a bluetooth device.

 

I have tried several things, a clean windows 10 installation, some energy on and off switches in device manager and many different kind of drivers. I even tried replacing the card with a ac7265, but when i did this WiFi worked and bluetooth entirely didnt work nor did it show up in device manager. I waisted money in a effort to fix this strange bluetooth problem,  i guess.

 

Ideas anyone?

AC 7265 Issues

Hi all,

 

As many others in these forums I have issues with my Lenovo branded laptops using Intels 7265 wifi NIC, how ever most are all relating to Windows 10, I still use Windows 7 Pro.

 

I cannot seem to install 18.40 drivers, when I do, the installation process completes without errors, but driver isn't changing, no matter what version I had previous.

 

Tested with the 17.x driver, update to 18.40 will update the software, but not the drivers, no matter if I use Lenovos system update tool or the drivers found here.

Latest version I can install that would update the drivers is 18.33

 

I get BSOD with 7E or 1D (or is it D1), all related to NDIS.sys or the NETWFW02.sys

I can get it stop casting BSOD by disabling the WiFi, but that wont do us much good when working from home where WIFI would be used.

 

All affected machines are at latest BIOS. Intel management firmware is also latest. All windows security patches have been installed.

None of the posts I have read here mentions much about the environment, so heres my specs, hoping someone can help me out:

 

2,4ghz networks only. Fixed channel, multiple APs with same channel and SSID

Current driver: 18.33

Files: bdupflt.sys (Bitdefender filter driver), netwfw02.sys, netwfw02.dat, vwifibus.sys

 

Machine: Lenovo T550, 20CK

Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 card working slowly on Windows 10

I have a few years old Samsung Ultrabook laptop, which has an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 Wifi and Bluetooth card.

After updating to Windows 10 I haven't been reaching proper Wifi speeds with my laptop. At the moment I can get 50/50 down/up from my Wifi

with my cellphone or my tablet or an another laptop, but with this one I get something like 7-15/10 down/up. I've tried to install the Windows 8.1.

drivers (version 18.40.0) but they dont seem to install, since in the Device manager I seem to always see the Windows 10 native drivers (version 15.18.0.1).

 

What to do to get my wifi working properly?

wireless-AC 7265 slower than old laptop with Atheros 802.11N from the same spot.

my old laptop has a atheros wireless chip inside.

my current laptop has an intel 7265. latest drivers installed.

Both are synced with the router at 150mbps.

 

From the same position on my desk, same TPLINK wr841n N-router, same modem, downloading the same speed test file ..... http://speedtest.choopa.net/1GBtest.bin

 

The intel only gets 700K/s, while the Atheros gets 2900K/s

With 8 parallel threads, I can't even max out my internet connection with the Intel. I get 5300KB/s.

With 2 threads, the Atheros gets 5300K/s, and 3 threads maxes out my connection at 7MB/s.

 

 

Why does the Intel run 4x slower than the atheros? It feels like the Intel is capped.

It's consistently slower. Single thread performance is terrible.

For example, downloading Nvidia driver package, the Intel only does 3.6MB/s, whereas the Atheros maxes the connection out at 7MB/s. The Atheros could probably go faster if I had a faster broadband connection.

 

 

How can I get the Intel to perform similarly to the Atheros

 

I already have the wireless on max power setting in Power options.

What settings and hacks do I need to implement?

 

throughput booster setting does nothing

Hi,

We use a laptop lenovo 550 with intel 7265NGW and we have performance problem.

For example the transmit power for 7265NGW is -66dbm also for 5100AGN is -54dbm at the same place.

We use intel proset 18.33.0.0 with driver 18.33.0.1 for wifi card on windows seven 64bits entreprise.

I remove all power saving mode, u-SPDA disabled and transmit power and make it is set to 5. Highest.

 

The advanced statistics display actually transmit power ~1mw (100%).

Witth the windows driver (version 15.xxx) the transmit power max was 25mW.

 

Do you know if this card have the capacity to up at 32mW ?

 

Thanks for your response.

Dear all,

 

Dell Latitude E5450 / Windows 10 Enterprise x64 1511 (TH2) with latest updates.

Can anyone point me to some direction when mentioned WIFI card (Wireless-AC 7265) refuses to connect to WIFI networks at first place. Actually it refuses first time. About 60 seconds later it will connect.

 

Error messages is below:

I have tried different drivers:

Windows 10 itself suggest via "update device drivers" 18.20.0.9 - no luck, error persist

Dell suggest 18.11.0.8 - no luck, error persist

Intel latest 18.30.0.9 - no luck, error persist

Windows 10 bundled 17.15.0.5 - error is gone, and everything is working as excpected.

 

I have tried different AP's on different physical locations - same effect.

 

I have tried different WIFI configurations - like OPEN networks in other places - same effect.

 

My main question is what could be wrong with 18 series of drivers? Why the 17 series works and 18 not ?

Network reading slower than writing with AC-7260

I just got a new Asus N751JX laptop with an Intel Dualband Wireless AC-7260 network adapter.

I tried to playback a full HD animation movie from my NAS but it's stuttering like hell.

I never had this problem with my 7-year old laptop.

 

My router is a Linksys WRT320N. And I'm connected via 2,4GHz.

My NAS is a Synology DS415+, so fast enough to handle the job

 

I download LAN Speed Test (lite) and tried to transfer 30MB.

Writing speed: 49 Mbps

Reading speed: 23 Mbps

 

It's really strange that reading speed is lower than writing speed.

I would expect the opposite.

 

Whet I tried until now:

1. Installed latest version/patches of Windows 10

2. Upgraded BIOS to latest versin

3. Installed latest version of Intel driver (18.33.0.2)

4. I also tried the latest driver from the ASUS website

5. I followed the recommendations on the Intel website about the advanced wifi settings

6. I also tried to disable my Bluetooth

 

The speed/strength of my connection is varying between 60 and 180Mbps.

How can I increase the reading speed to an acceptable level?

And how is it possible that reading is slower than writing?

I already tried several suggestions from other forum topics but nothing works.

Bluetooth 4.0 LE

I recently bought the new Intel NUC (Skull Canyon).  I set everything up, but I had trouble getting my Logitech MX Master wireless mouse to work with the dongle.  I had not been able to get it to work with Bluetooth on my old PC (I believe it did not support LE), but I had the thought to try that on the NUC, and I was VERY pleasantly surprised to find out that it worked!  And so I had been using it without any trouble for the past two weeks.  However, today I had a hard lock up.  No idea what happened there yet, but it was not an application lockup...the entire system was haulted (no blue screen, though).  Anyway, since that time, I have no longer been able to get the mouse to work.  I am using Windows 7, and I know it does not have internal Bluetooth LE support (comes from the driver), but it was working just earlier today.  I have tried many things to get it back working, including poking around in the BIOS, reinstalling drivers, etc.  Anyone know what I need to do?  Thank you.

Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Windows 10

This isn't a question, it's a solution that worked for me so I thought I would post it pre-emptively!

 

I have an old Acer Aspire (32-bit) laptop with an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG adapter from 2008. Having just forced it to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, I noticed straight away that the wireless was not working (maybe that's why I didn't ever see the Microsoft upgrade option).

 

I downloaded the Wireless_18.11.0_De132.zip from this page: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25140 then ran the DPInst32.exe file inside the .zip. Nothing much seemed to happen, but on checking Device Manager, the system indicated that the driver is installed but "the device failed to start". I disabled the device, then enabled it - still nothing... getting bored I decided to reboot the machine and start looking for my USB adapter...

 

Anyway it rebooted, connected to my network and is running perfectly. Not bad for an old Vista machine. Maybe the driver was installed all along and all I needed to do was reboot the machine in the first place. I don't know, drivers aren't really my thing! I thought I'd post this just in case there are other people with similar antique machines lying around.

 

If it stops someone from getting as annoyed as me, then I've done a good thing
