So I am guessing this update will be for Windows 8.1, since at the end of September this is what operating system everyone with Windows 8 will have? I have been having dropped signal constantly ever since I got my brand new notebook, and when I considered getting the new 7260 to replace this 2230 on Newegg I saw that there are not any drivers for Windows 8, even though this model was made specifically for the Haswell and is the most recent adapter Intel offers. Are we going to have to wait another year to have reliable internet connectivity if we upgrade to Windows 8.1 at the end of Q3 since the update for the soon to be obsolete Windows 8 will just be coming out by then?
Luckily, Intel have excellent drivers for the 7260 series when they released their official 16.1.3 drivers on Intel Download Center. You don't have to wait another year to have reliable internet connectivity once you moved to the 7260 series since they're excellent to begin with. Maybe you purchased the 7260 sometime in June so that's why there were no drivers back then. I saw on a website that when Windows 8.1 comes, Intel will release 16.5 drivers for the 7260 series. I have my laptop running for more than 14 hours already and the Wi-Fi connection never dropped and is still super stable on 2.4 GHz band.
