kemeras Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 How is the 7260 for a y500? Would still recommend this or go for another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambomhtri Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I don't know why you say that the Intel 7260 is good. I've bought a TP-Link external WiFi adapter USB, it's 300Mbps and high gain. Well, it costs just 14$ and it is WAY, I mean it, WAY better than my 7260. I have the Y510P with that card, and the range sucks SO hard. Or this card is really bad, or something's wrong with my laptop. The TP-Link range is so good, and it is super fast, so if a cheap card can kick this one's butt, I don't know why would you ever buy it.I've tried every single driver right out there, and the range is just not good. May be it's my laptop's antenna, but I think everything is OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiey Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I signed up to this forum so I could download the unlocked wifi bios, however I'm in the same bout with regards to which card to choose. I was debating about the Killer vs Intel, and initially leaning towards the Killer NIC. The reason being is the Intel 2230 was such a joke with regards to dropping. My main issue is within games, I'll get some very crazy lag from time to time. I am happy with the Intel Bluetooth stability, but my biggest problem is the strange drops in performance. Stability is more important than speed for me at this point. My thinking is why would I go from crappy intel 2230 to potentially to another intel which probably shares some of the same driver software....Any comments?

phan505 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I am thinking about upgrading my Y500's 2230 to a 7260ac, I am wondering did you guys replace it with 7260HMW BN or the 7260HMW? According to this Intel 7260HMW 802.11AC Versus Intel 7260HMW BN 802.11n - Legit ReviewsWhat Intel 7260 Wireless Card Should You Get? only the 7260HMW is gigabit wireless.

Awesomo Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I'm thinking about getting the 7260ac as well. Has some pretty good reviews on amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogtanian Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 The 7260ac is pretty great, I had it in my old Dell and will be popping one into my Y510P now that I've modded my BIOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantz Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I was searching for a new wifi card on my y510p. After reading this thread I guess I will go with 7260ac and have a try with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomsayer Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I just got the 7260 and now I just need to mod my BIOS. I'm very excited to get rid of the 2230. It's a piece of junk.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yusufay Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I did it. Finally got rid of that soul sucker 2230 and installed AC-7260. Had no problem during updating bios with hacked one and installing the card. Windows 8.1 manages without problem but intel's pronet software does not work that well. It keeps freezing for 1-2 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
