Hello World,

In July 2017 Russian authorities have expanded the bandwidth for ac frequency allowed for use by public.

from: •Frequency band: (2400 – 2483,5) or/& (5150 - 5350 & 5650 - 5725) MHz

    To: •Frequency band: (2400 – 2483,5) or/& (5150 - 5350 & 5650 - 5850) MHz

1) When will this be reflected in existing adapter connections? (Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265, 8260, 8265)

2) Is there a special update to be installed or it will happen automatically?

3) How is this update going to happen? (new driver? new firmware? special update?)

4) Do I have to change the exising module\s?

For reference: Intel® DRS — No More Wi-Fi Trouble For International Travelers

Thank you!

Peter

I have a Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 wireless card and am running the latest drivers available from Intel.  I receive the following Application Error every time I shutdown/reboot my computer:

Faulting application name: ZeroConfigService.exe, version: 19.60.0.0, time stamp: 0x58d16fa6

I believe the ZeroConfigService is not handling shutdown requests gracefully.  Can this service be disabled or set to demand start?  It is currently set to auto start.

Hi, got following setup:

PC: Beelink AP42 with Wireless-AC 3165.

WIFI: TP-Link Archer C7(LEDE firmware) as hidden AP (channel 36) exclusive for an TP-Link RE450, which is running an AP on Channel 1 and 36 using the hidden AP as upstream.

And here is my problem, while the RE450 channel 36 AP is running, Windows 10 is bluescreening within seconds (~5-10) and is even unable to start or finish install of Windows 10 (If I try a fresh install). As soon as the wireless driver is loaded the system freezes for ~20seconds and drops a DPC_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT (at Windows 10 install, it does sometimes a system_thread_exception_not_handled in netwtw04.sys). When I disable the RE450 channel 36 AP, Windows runs fine, I do not see any bluescreens anymore, also Windows 10 install works again. I am also able to connect to the hidden network on channel 36, without any crashes freezes or alike. As soon as I re-enable the RE450 channel 36 AP, the Box freezes again and drops instant bluescreens.

Currently I tried driver 19.2.0.1 (suggested by the vendor) and 19.51.2.4 (suggested by Intel Driver Software Assistant).

May there be a driver error?

I just bought a new notebook and try to setup Wifi hotspot on it, but failed.

I already tried different version of driver but still failed.

Is Wireless-AC 8260 not support the hosted network function?

With this adapter, is impossible to setup wifi hotspot?

Intel wireless dual band ac-3168 Wireless not working properly with HP Pavilion 15-cc023cl

Intel dual band-ac 3160 Connection Problem

I have these kinds of problems on my laptop.
I can solve this by manually set `Channel Width` to `40 Mhz` on my routers configuration page.(No changes to `AC 3168` configuration)

There's only two `Auto` and `20 Mhz` option on AC 3168 Configuration for `Channel Width`, I know that.
But I can't handle this when I have no permission because `AC 3168` doesn't handle this right way I think.

I think you guys should offer force `40 Mhz` channel width option or something.

How can I have full speed with your chip when I have no permission to AP, AP configuration in this condition???

Is there anybody who can tell me if the AC-7265 is able to work with Cisco CCX v4?

Hi,

LAN network transfer speed is around 200Mbps when the max it can transfer is 867Mbps. I've used Iperf3 to check the speed and it is only reporting around 250Mbps. Any idea on how to achieve the max speed possible?

I was previously running Windows 10 64-bit Anniversary edition 1607 without any problems.

I have an Intel dual band 7260AC for desktop installed with IPv4 and IPv6 enabled, driver version 18.33.6.2 from the wireless proset version 19.50.1

A few days ago, I installed the update to the new Windows 10 Creator edition 1703 and ALL applications, including console programs like 'nslookup' and 'ping', using the wirless network started to become 'not responding' after a few minutes or less.

Once an application 'hung', it could not be terminated from task manager, giving an 'access denied' error when attempting and 'end task'.

If I disabled the Intel 7260AC adapter and using a wired Broadcom ethernet connection, everything worked normally again.

After disabling IPv6 on the Intel 7260AC, the wireless network ALSO worked again without hanging.

Looking at the symptoms, it seems there is a problem with the 18.33.6.2 driver on Windows 10 Creator edition, where an application gets 'hung' inside the system call to the driver, because they can't be terminated anymore.

I didn't see any newer drivers available and was wondering if other people have encountered similar problems or are using a 7260AC adapter with IPv6 enabled normally?

Hi there,

My dell latitude laptop has Intel AC-7260 Bluetooth chipset. I have installed the latest driver version 19.70.0.4.

I have trouble make my Apple Airpods connect and work with it. The Bluetooth lists the Airpod and can find it, but can't connect to it and play audio over it. It can't list the BT services by the Airpods.

Can you help with this?

The Airpod is using standard Bluetooth and Audio and it doesn't depend on the device being Apple.

so i've been wanting to change from broadcom to intel. is this possible? if so cna you please guide me to changing to it? thanks

Well what can I say, I purchased this card today, ive installed and downloaded and installed the drivers. Windows is picking up the card, it says all is working properly, and it does, however, I have a massive issue where I cant turn my wireless card on when windows starts (tried both my FN key and turning it on in settings), but I can tell it to turn on in 1 hour and it will.... I'm confused as to what could be causing this as I cant change any settings or find any settings that will keep the card turned on when I do a restart of my laptop.

Just to re iterate on this, when I turn my laptop on, the card doesn't show up as "on" its turned off, I have to tell the settings toturn it on in "1hour" for the wireless card to work, I cant manually tell it to turn on, or to have it on as default when the laptop starts.

As you can see from the screenshot, the wireless part of the toolbar (bottom right) shows its turned on, the WiFi 2 is turned off, then in the background in the settings the WiFi is turned on but the option is to turn on manually. The WiFi option on my keyboard changes the laptop into or out from flight mode. I have tried to reinstall the drivers for my keyboard but this doesn't change.

Any help or information would be greatly appreciated as I'm now confused as to what I can do next.

Thanks

Hi all,

For the past few weeks I have been having BSOD problems with my laptop. I first tried uninstalling and reinstalling my graphics driver from the advice of a friend which didn't help. I then looked around and found it could have been my wireless driver which I uninstalled and reinstalled again.

For a while this didn't work so I looked up what the problem is within the mini dumps of my crash reports and it stated that it was due to the wireless adapter. So again I uninstalled the driver and all the software and reinstalled it.

I did this a few times and on my last few attempts I didn't restart my laptop (which is says it needs to do for it to fully finish the installation) and if i did the laptop would continue to crash and cause BSOD.

At the moment my laptop and internet work completely fine as long as I do not turn off or restart it after installing the driver software. (Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165

Any help or advice would be great.

Message was edited by: Daniel Reynolds UPDATE: Laptop has just crashed (BSOD) even without restarting or turning it off to complete the installation of the drivers.

I am looking for information on when Intel will supply a wireless driver updated for the KRACK WPA2 vulnerability. This is a HUGE vulnerability and Intel would have been given a 'heads up' months ago, along with other vendors who already have firmware updates to address KRACK. Clients are the main target of this threat, so a client wireless driver is paramount.

Intel Corporation was notified by the Industry Consortium for Advancement of Security on the Internet (ICASI) and CERT CC of the identified Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) standard protocol vulnerability. Intel is an ICASI Charter member and part of the coordinated disclosure of this issue. Intel is working with its customers and system manufacturers to implement and validate firmware and software updates that address the vulnerability. For more details, please refer to Intel’s security advisory on this vulnerability - INTEL-SA-00101

Updated WiFi Drivers are available. Be sure to download the latest Driver for your Intel® Wireless Adapter.

If you need further assistance, contact Intel Customer Support to submit an online service request.

Wifi has both 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz, I obviously want to connect to the faster one. The Intel 7260 does not support it, is there a driver to install/replace (or other options) that will enable me to connect to the 5 Ghz?

Thanks

Hi All,

I'm observing few of the PC's in my client network is trying to communicate wServoceith a Botnet IP - 208.91.197.27 which belongs to Confluence Networks Inc (US).

When I check with the Process and source of the traffic, surprisingly I found out that, it is generating from the location Intel PROSet/Wireless Zero Configure Service/ZeroConfigService.exe.

I don't know why it is trying to connect to an external IP.

Have anyone of you observed this in your environment, can anyone help me to find out a solution for this?

Thanks in Advance,

Kiran Vyas

Upgraded my Asus notebook with 8260 WiFi card to v20 driver from Intel (Asus has still not released) on Win 10 (Windows update updates to v19) to deal with KRACK vulnerability. It all seems to work (back online, everything running) but now the network icon in the system tray shows a red asterisk, no connection, and the tooltip says "Not Connected - No Connections Are Available". It's lying to me, I'm connected over WiFi, just the icon that seems to indicate otherwise.

Ideas?

i keep getting BSOD since i install win 10, update driver does not help.

Hi my wifi is working properly but when the windows 10 update sometimes my intel dual band driver is missing, and sometimes its okay. Any thoughts? thanks.

I have suffering from Intel Wireless AC 7260 Adapter reset issues in a Gigabyte P35W v4 running Windows 10 Anniversary Update Edition with latest updates.

Wireless networking will disappear altogether randomly, I usually get a failure at least once a day.

The sequence of events is always the same in the system event log:

1.     2 x Event Source = NETwNb64, Event ID = 5007, (Description is not useful as the associated resource from the event log message is not correctly installed).

2.     1 x Event Source = NDIS, Event ID = 10400 (The network interface "Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260" has begun resetting).

3.     2 x Event Source = NETwNb64, Event ID = 5032, (Description is not useful as the associated resource from the event log message is not correctly installed).

4.     Repeat steps 2 & 3 six times.

5.     1 x Event Source = WLAN-AutoConfig, Event ID = 4003 (WLAN AutoConfig detected limit connectivity, performing Reset/Recover.adapter.  Code: 1 0xC 0x4)

6.     1 x Event Source = WLAN-AutoConfig, Event ID = 4003 (WLAN AutoConfig detected limit connectivity, performing Reset/Recover.adapter.  Code: 2 0xDEADDEED 0xEEEC)

At the end of this all wireless networking is unrecoverable, the wireless adapter appears disabled and will not re-enable in Network Connections.

This problem started happening about two months ago. I would not know the exact Intel Proset Wireless version of software the problem may have initially occurred with.

Since then I have tried various Intel Proset Wireless Versions 18.32, 18.33, 18.40.4 and19.20.3 which all produce the same issue.

I have also tried it without Proset software using Windows 10 to auto update the driver which gives me the WLAN driver version 18.33.5.1 (the one that ships with Proset 19.20.3).

The most significant issue I am aware of is the enablement of IPv6 on my home network router which will have occured about 2 months ago (don't know the exact timing).

I wonder if IPv6 in Windows 10 with these drivers is causing some kind of problem.

I have not experimented with the 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' option yet. This is what I am moving on to for diagnosis.

Otherwise it will be get a replacement wireless USB adapter for the Laptop and disable the internal wireless adapter.
