Intel® Wireless Adapter Information Guide

This version of Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software is compatible with the adapters listed

next. Note that when using the Adminstrator Tool, the intention is to create packages and profiles

to be exported to client computers that may be using other Intel® wireless adapter not listed here.

 Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260

 Intel® Dual Band Wireless-N 7260

 Intel® Wireless-N 7260

With your WiFi network card, you can access WiFi networks, share files or printers, or even

share your Internet connection. All of these features can be explored using a WiFi network in

your home or office. This WiFi network solution is designed for both home and business use.

Additional users and features can be added as your networking needs grow and change.

This guide contains basic information about Intel adapters. It includes information about several

adapter properties that you can set to control and enhance the performance of your adapter with

your particular wireless network and environment. Intel® wireless adapters enable fast

connectivity without wires for desktop and notebook PCs.

Depending on the model of your Intel WiFi adapter, your adapter is compatible with 802.11a,

802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n (draft 2.0) wireless standards. Operating at 5GHz or 2.4GHz

frequency at data rates of up to 450 Mbps, you can now connect your computer to existing high-

speed networks that use multiple access points within large or small environments. Your WiFi

adapter maintains automatic data rate control according to the access point location and signal

strength to achieve the fastest possible connection. All of your wireless network connections are

easily managed by the WiFi connection utility. Profiles that are set up through the WiFi

connection utility provide enhanced security measures with 802.1X network authentication.
