jimbopembo Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Has anyone had problems with Intel AC7260 cards dropping connections? Hardware: VeryPC Clevo W950TU BayTrail laptops with AC7260 dual band cards. Software: W7 Pro 64 Problem: Limited SSID Connectivity. When you click out of it and click back in, there are no network connections available. Repairing the connection brings it back. This problem is occurring across multiple primary school sites, and only with these laptops. This is causing serious problems with domain logins! I have trawled the internet for tips (!!!) and tried older drivers and various card settings, I can't fix it. Very PC are looking into the issue, in collaboration with Intel. After going through the negative comments about problems with AC7260's I am feeling quite pessimistic about the prospect of solution being found before the schools send them back as "not fit for purpose". Any help appreciated
simonm Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Just out of interest does it do this with all encryption methods .. have you tried changing encryption options on the PC/AP and seeing if that makes a difference ?
Squelch Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 I was having similar issues with Ergo tablets that have the 7260 card. Google turned up a fair few threads on intel forums and driver version 17.16.0.4 appears to have solved the problem for us, I downloaded it directly from the intel website. Hope that helps

Any help appreciated @jimbopembo did you ever get a resolution to this issue please? We have just got over 50 of the VeryPC baytrail laptops with AC7260 WIFI cards and are having the exact same issue running W7 Enterprise 32 bit. Thanks
jimbopembo Posted July 18, 2015 Author Posted July 18, 2015 Yes A firmware update has fixed. Very pc sent out a tech to one of our schools last week. We updated the firmware on 20 laptops, and installed the latest Intel driver. They haven't missed a beat since then. 1
Liam Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Can anyone shed any light on this. I have laptops that will not apply group policy for nothing. Its a nightmare, I have stone laptops it it helps. Liam
jimbopembo Posted September 23, 2015 Author Posted September 23, 2015 Hi Liam The firmware update is specific to this particular laptop model. its a bay trail board Clevo model w950u. Have you approached Stone? Will Group policy apply if you plug them into the LAN via Ethernet?
Liam Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Yes been to stone and it works fine on lan. Nightmare
