Click to expand.that's not completely true either. The 2.4 GHz band has CENTER frequencies ranging from 2.412 ( ch1 ) through 2.472 ( ch13 ), this is a range of 60 Mhz, enough for 1 ac link on channel 7, although this is not so neighbour-friendly the 5 GHz band ranges from: 5.180 ( ch36 ) through 5.320 ( ch64 ) -> 140 Mhz, 5.500 ( ch100 ) through 5.700 ( ch 140 ) -> 200 Mhz 5.745 ( ch149 ) through 5.825 ( ch165 ) -> 80 Mhz from the lowest to the highest frequency is a sweep of 645 Mhz, the antenna should ( must ) accomodate this. The frequency ranges of 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz haven't changed from 802.11a to 802.11ac (or 802.11b to 802.11ac), the antennas either work in those ranges or they don't. The only difference from 20Mhz/40Mhz/80/Mhz is how many frequencies are being used at one time. The antennas have to work across the entire range no matter how wide the channels are. 2.4Ghz is a lost cause though.

Apr 06, 2011  I'm running a t510 thinkpad and have just about everything working except the wireless on a Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6200 AGN. The USB adapter I chose was something that was recommended on another hackintosh board which, was one of the Airlink101 line of adapters here. One of the things that's great about Airlink101's is that they have.

When family members come over with their antiquated PSPs (that have 802.11g chipsets inside but Sony, in their infinite wisdom, decided to only let them run in 802.11b mode) and have trouble, I give them about 5 minutes of effort then shrug and tell them to move closer to the router. I tried the AC 7260 in an older Core 2 Duo notebook that had a Intel 6300 Dual Band in it. AC7260 works great in that too. Windows shows it connected at 866.7 Mbps Transferred the same 8 GB file from my NAS and got the same 37 MB/s transfer rate.

I used insidder on both the Ivy Bridge and Core 2 Duo and I noticed that the 2.4 GHz signal was not as strong as the previous generation cards. The 5 GHz signal is as strong or maybe a tad better so this card is really geared toward 5 GHz operation. Mercedes benz c class w203.

Thanks for all this info, bought the card from provantage but am not able to get the drivers to install from the links you posted, I am on win 7 x64, got the proset to install without errors, but it does not install the driver at all. Device manager shows an unknown network card. All the Intel Proset software is there, but without a driver it is pretty worthless, any ideas? Edit: Looks like these drivers are only for Windows 8, sigh. Guess I will have to wait, wish my Samsung laptop was not such a PITA to open up, o well, joys of being an early adopter i suppose. Just got finished ordering 8 of the from Provantage before they ran out of stock with the plan of future-proofing my home wireless network. I don't own a 802.11ac wireless router yet (still using the ASUS RT-66U w/shibby's tomato) but I plan to be ready for 802.11ac eventually in the future.

BTW: These Intel mini-PCI cards will be replacing older Broadcom Dell 1520's in the notebook computers since Broadcom hasn't been very active in supporting their wireless driver for Win7 lately. Think the latest Broadcom Win7 driver is from last year although Broadcom is focusing on Win8 atm.
