After upgrading the wireless and installing the Bluetooth 4.0 driver, my 7260 now loses the connection when resuming from sleep. Win 7 will not reconnect on its own. Disabling & enabling the 7260 brings the wireless back. This is a pain, I will probably downgrade back to 16.1.5.2 (again).
Intel Bluetooth driver 17.0.1405.456
Intel 7260 driver 17.0.5.8 (Upgraded from 16.1.5.2)
The 7260 bluetooth driver typically doesn’t load by itself from a cold start or reboot. Disabling and enabling the USB Enh Host Ctrllr - 3B34 causes the Bluetooth to start. The Bluetooth will also work with just the generic win 7 bluetooth driver (without the Intel ProSet driver). I have yet to figure out what the circumstances are when it does load itself from a cold start.
Wifi sync speeds with the 17.05.8 driver are still somewhat unstable, but don’t jump around as much as the v16 and driver. They also seem to rise when checking the sync speed as reported by win 7. Transmission rates seem to be fast when actually receiving and transmitting large amounts of data.
Long latency pings (to the router) are much less frequent with v17 occuring inconsistently every 1-2x every 30-100 or so pings. Some times have been as long as 1600 ms; typically they are 1-2 ms.
