No internet access with Intel 7260 wifi card
Greetings.
Picked up an unbranded intel 7260 pcie card to be used in i7 6600u machine. Need help with getting internet access using the ac wifi 5Ghz band.
The specs says 867mbps ac wifi with bluetooth 4. But on first test, neither was detected by the system.
Web search yielded a fix: taping pin 51 of the card, and disable L1 Substates in bios PCI setting. Both wifi and BT are now detected by the system. However, internet access is only available for the 2.4Gz band.
Further web search yielded a fix for windows 10: Disable New DMA devices in BitLocker Drive Encryption of Group Policy Setting. However, no such entries were found in windows 7.
So, how to fix the no internet issue with 5Ghz ac wifi using 7260 card?
Your kind assistance is most appreciated.
Best regards,
