I returned two computers a Lenovo and an Acer, they both had wireless dropping issues, and I believe two different cards, and I remember one had the Centrino 2230.
I now have a third computer which I definitely want to keep with the Intel Wireless-AC Dual Band 7260.
It also is dropping, and I can't get it to work. Can anyone get this to work?
This issue appears to be Win8 & some Win7 (according to others) with the newer cards, and certain routers.
Our other wireless computers in the home all with either XP or Win7 but at least a year older all work fine.
The Router is a mainstream ISP router, so I don't want to hear any stupid thing that it's the router at fault, especially when other computers work fine and it's a mainstream router.
It's all the newer cards and primarily Win 8.
So, this is unacceptable quality control by Intel. NewEgg also tried to deny me $135 for one returned computer because they couldn't detect a problem, likely using a router that works. Only fortunately working with Acer saved me, because they also reported it as a known issue.
I hear Killer Wireless also has the same issues, which I guess uses Intel tech.
So, how can I fix this? A computer is nearly unusable without a working wireless. I mean, it's one thing to have software issues, but such mass hardware defects is unacceptable.
Oh, and can anyone point me to working Win 8.1 drivers for the I guess the 4600 graphics and the wireless card?
Thanks
