X220 AC7260 wireless issue
X220 AC7260 wireless issue
OK here's a head-bang of the day...
My ancient router decided to kick the bucket so I replaced it with a TP Link Archer 1800.
Every single device connects to it with no issues apart from my kids' X220 which has an upgraded Intel AC7260 card. It does not see either network, neither the 2.4 nor 5.0
Disabled/enabled/rebooted/toyed with Fn/F5 settings...nope. The card seems to be "blind" to this new router, yet sees my neighbour's networks left and right.
Baffled I am.
What gives ?

Well, sadly the thread that RBS had linked yielded no resolution...so I'm still patiently listening to any ideas this community may have to offer...

Re: X220 AC7260 wireless issue
Just a thought George...
Any chance your router has accidentally been set to block a range that includes the 7260's MAC address?
All I can think of for now.
Good luck with it kind Sir!

Re: X220 AC7260 wireless issue
Before you blame the router, have you got another AC7260 to try?
How about pressing Fn/F5 a few times?
I assume the wifi switch is ON?

This is the X220 with the upgraded LCD, modded BIOS and wireless card that I got from you for my twins a couple of years ago. A great little machine in all respects.
It connects with ZERO issues to my old router, just not to the new one.
I compared the settings between 6205 in my T520 and 7260 in X220 and haven't found any significant differences.
And as I've said, it sees the networks belonging to my neighbours just not mine.
So yeah I'm baffled...

Re: X220 AC7260 wireless issue
Connect X220 via ethernet cable to the router, visit Intel and pick your choice to download/install.
(W7- or 7260-specific)
Hope that works.
