Intel Dual Band 7260

[Pavel_Touzimsky]

Hello, my laptop wifi signal began to fluctuate, even 1m away from router, the signal strength is on the one-point. So I decided to buy a new wifi card intel 7260.

But after installing new card and its drivers, LED indication on the key F12 remains orange, unresponsive and i cannot turn it on. Can anyone help?

I updated the bios and do the windows update, and using the latest drivers from Intel.

Thanks in advance

Hi:

You can't use an Intel wireless card in a computer with AMD hardware.  That is why it doesn't work.  And there is nothing you can do to make it work.

Plus your notebook has to have 2 wireless antennas or you can't upgrade the wireless card at all unless you take the whole notebook apart including the display panel to add a second antenna.

If your notebook has two antennas, and if you want a dual band wireless N card, you need to get a Broadcom one.

Hi Paul and thank you for your answer,

I must confess that I am a little disappointed that it does not work together.  😞

thanks again:)

You're very welcome.

The Broadcom wireless card I suggested will work fine (if your notebook has two antennas).

I had one in my HP 350 G1 (Intel processor).

I did remove it and installed the 7260 so that I could have Intel Wireless Display.

With the 4th generation Intel core processor and Intel HD graphics, the card worked fine and so does WiDi.
