I can't be bothered to post links to my other threads as I cant for the life of me find an easy way to see my list of threads, so here is a TL;DR.

 

Bought an Intel Wireless-AC 7260 + bluetooth card.

IMG_20160804_183714.jpg

Installed it, and got error code 10. Device can't start.

 

So I corntacted intel, and they said it was an issue with my motherboard not working with the card.

 

I asked the forums, and they came to the conclusion (aside from @Daring) that it was a windows 10 issue.

 

Well, considering that daring's card works, we then thought that I might have a bad card. 

 

 

But today, I booted into my ubuntu flash drive, unplugged ethernet, and then this happened:

IMG_20160804_183620.jpg

These are the exact same speeds I get on a wired connection. So intel, saying that the motherboard won't work with the card is total BS.

 

Any more advice on getting this thing to work?

Just saying intel is much better than anyone else when it comes to drivers. There the only ones with native support on linux and native support for wired nics on windows.

How is Intel at fault for MS screwing things up? Any way, try the driver for Windows 8.1

Clearly is an OS thing. Try going into the settings and see if there is a toggle button of some sort that will "allow" Bluetooth.

For telling me that it was the board not working with the card and not even bothering to have me try a linux based OS

Nope

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

It doesn't even see the bluetooth side of things, but it does see the wifi part of it (which wont work)

This reminds me of the problems I had when I had my wifi and ethernet connected at the same time.... I couldn't go online because windows 10 would be alternating between the two super quickly so Chrome would continually detect a network chance. Disabling my wifi adapter fixed the issue.

 

Seems more like a windows issue to me rather than an Intel one. 

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

This is 100% true/possible seeing as I have ran into this. Usually wired will override wireless. But if both are enabled then it could cause and issue.

I had the 7260 and returned it for a gigabyte wireless card. it was a pain in the ass to get working on windows (mine was 7 at the time) and even after its up and running it had weird quirks.

Causes an issue on Windows 8/8.1 as well. For me I could still use internet but it caused issues with hosting servers, nobody could join despite me portforwarding, it drove me nuts until I ended up disabling the wifi card as I switched over to ethernet recently and it worked. I think the wifi card was a TP Link or D Link or something like that.

Funny...I just replace some Broadcom wireless card with that same exact card you have in my girlfriend's rig a few days ago...and it has been working beautifully ever since. 

Specs of rig?

Considering that we both have the same OS, as well as asrock motherboards of a SIMILAR generation, I think the issue lies in the "I haven't the slightest clue" category.

Its possible that the wifi/bluetooth card itself is faulty-the one inside my Asus U38N (a rather expensive notebook from 2013) gets rekt in regards to range+speeds by a wifi/bluetooth card that I pulled from a 2010 Dell Latitude (one of the base models) which got killed by soft drink. And the card from the Dell doesn't have 5GHz wireless N and only Bluetooth 3 not 4.

The only thing I could of is that the driver corrupted somehow during installation, or part of Windows 10 itself is corrupted.

I have had two crashes upon startup so far with this machine, but the SSD isn't that old... @arnavvr

Why did it work perfect in ubuntu? Why would a faulty card present error code 10?
