I'm running Windows 7 and have an eero Wi-fi system, as the title says. I found working network drivers for the card in my laptop from Lenovo, but I suspect they aren't a recent enough version to be able to see my Wi-Fi network if legacy mode isn't toggled on. With legacy mode, Wi-Fi works fine, if not a little slow. My question is; do drivers for this card exist for W7 that can see my eero network without having to cripple all the other devices on my network with legacy mode? Thanks!

Scratch that. Apparently, Intel's official PROSet drivers for Windows 10 work fine on Windows 7 and solve the eero issue. Posting this here for any future users with the same problem.

My old Windows 7 WiFi AC 7260 was not seeing some WiFi signals. (Why some and not all?)

SlashV directed me to Intel to use the Windows 10 Proset driver, but more than a year from his post, the current Intel downloads say 'not compatible with operating system.' Intel only had limited number of prior versions and they did not work.

Went to Lenovo website and found prior version. Downloaded W10 version 'Intel 7260 Wireless LAN Driver
n15w106w.exe.' It worked.

Thanks Slash !
