Hey folks

I have an Intel AC7260 in my laptop which is giving up the goose (same problem as this guy

https://forums.intel.com/s/question/0D50P0000490S66SAE/intel-dual-band-ac-7260-continually-losing-network-connection?language=en_US) have been looking for a replacement card, ideally I'd like to go for something different as I have had nothing but problems with this 7260 over the ~4 years I've had this laptop, Intel has also dropped support for the card as it is long discontinued. However I am finding that most manufacturers don't currently have any mPCIe cards on the market. I am wondering if you folks can suggest anything that is still about? Or would a mPCIe to M.2 adaptor be my only option?

 

Thanks

CAElite

Yeah, I'd much rather run something that is natively supported over an adapter though.
