Hi all,

I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro running Windows 8.1 x64 which I have switched the wifi card in to an Intel 7260 (the AC version).

The WiFi does a lot of weird things and I have Intel driver 17.1.0.19 installed, with Windows managing networks.

1) Windows doesn't seem to remember SSID security keys. Sometimes it does, sometimes I get prompted for keys for no reason.

2) After resuming from sleep, the card will say it is connecting to a network but it never will. I can turn WiFi off and back on and it still won't connect. The only thing that works is either a reboot, or disabling the WiFi connection and re-enabling. Then, it connects right away.

I have uninstalled Intel drivers and reinstalled with the same results. Any ideas?

It's definitely a driver issue. Try the 16.6.0.8 drivers here: Intel® Download Center
which is known to be a good driver for many 7260 users
