Intel Dual Band Wireless 7265 dropping connection
I am running Ubuntu 14.04.01 LTS on an Acer V Nitro laptop which has an Intel Dual Band Wireless 7265 controller. The driver version is 3.13.0-45-generic with firmware 22.24.8.0. The connection is stable for 30-40 minutes and after, it disconnects. Are necessary several reconnect attempts, sometime a restart in order to reconnect to the WiFi network. Did anyone face this issue with this controller? What do you recommend to diagnose the issue?

The root cause is described in this blog post It seems that there are some bugs in the Intel iwlwifi driver for 802.11N protocol for the kernel/firmware versions 3.13.0-45-generic/22.24.8.0. The temporary solution it is to disable 802.11N which is an work-around until the issue will be fixed. That means that I will not use the full capacity of the 7265 controller, which will be limited to 54MBs.
sudo sh -c 'echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf' Just wanted to say I had the same issue in Ubuntu 15.04 on a Lenovo X1 Carbon (Latest) and this workaround resolved the issue for me.
54MB/s is way better than the intermittent and incredibly frustrating 0MB/s I have been experiencing. especially given I am paying for 250.
I also have the last supported version of firmware for this device from wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi Note how 7260 and 7265 are explicitly called out for «not going to receive any updates anymore». Boooo.
Actually, I was able to download newer firmware from the git repo, which made my connection both reliable and faster, without these workaround. I posted the full instructions as an answer, which I suggest anybody reading this tries if they have a 7260, 7265 or 7265D device
A lot of Intel wifi cards exhibit this issue until you echo «options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8» | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf and reboot
zeroset.mnim.org/2014/04/22/… I looked to the traces from /var/log/syslog and they match the same use-case.
It didn’t helped, but your hint sent me to the blog above, which looks my case too. I’ve set 11n_disable=1, and it should work.
Wheeee! After a couple hours putzing around on the Internet, I found a solution that works for 7260/7265 with even newer firmware for 7265D devices.
7260 and 7265 will not be supported by the newest firmware versions: the last firmware that was released for these devices is -17.ucode. Bug fixes will be ported to -17.ucode. Note that 7265D can run later firmware versions. In order to determine if your 7265 device is a ‘D’ version, you can check the dmesg output:
Detected Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 7265, REV=0x210 The revision number of a 7265D device is 0x210, if you see any other number, you have a 7265 device.
So, I ran dmesg | grep Wireless and saw I did have device code 0x210.
Edit: This file is also missing. Either find a new driver that works, or search for old files in git history: https://github.com/OpenELEC/iwlwifi-firmware/commits/master/firmware
Next, I had a look in /lib/firmware, and noticed that I only had the -16.ucode file. So, I went to the git repo, downloaded the file from git, then used: sudo cp ~/Downloads/iwlwifi-726* /lib/firmware restarted my wifi, and actually got a usable connection!
Note that I tried both 11n_disable=8 and 11n_disable=1 (tried each one separately) to no avail. With this updated firmware, I was able to remove these workarounds.

My computer refuses to connect to the Internet through Wi-Fi. I’ve found out that the network driver in question, Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265, does not start. There are no available updates and I’m not sure what to try next to repair without causing any more issues.
Better you check the driver updates via windows updates. Those updates are no issues at all. But when you download and install the drivers from hp then it definitely there is a issue. Hp laptop quality and supports are not like those days ( I mean before 5 years backed HP laptop are best in the world). I’m using two HP laptop that’s why l’m telling Now (after 2019 year end release) hp laptop are not best.
So many hp laptop models they don’t have the drivers availablity in there official website page. (EX : 15s- du2031tx ).
I’ve checked the Windows Updates, and while there were some things to upload nothing changed about the issue at hand. I’m thinking I could try and uninstall it and download it again if that’s possible?
Don’t unistall and reinstall, because so many times drivers are getting stuck or crashed. If you have any upgrade version then you can do that otherwise if it’s same then don’t do like that. (It’s up to you).
Better you run the folliwing command in CMD with administrator rights. Type following one and hit enter. Wait until 100% comes.
Or did you check the hardware parts are seated correctly in your motherboard (i mean any loose connection). Double check is always good.
Very recently did you upgrade any ram in ram slot or any m.2 or ssd upgrade. If yes then just remove the battery and press the power button for just 8 seconds and connect the battery. First you have to change time and date in bios. Then check the time and date in windows are same in the bios ine.
Finally If it’s possible just reset your windows operating system.
Is your lan port is working or not?.
