Just bought the Intel 7260hmw... No Bluetooth on P150HM?

Hey guys!

I just purchased the Intel 7260hmw networking card in order to use Bluetooth, and upgraded from the Ultimate N-6300. I installed the drivers that are on intel's website, and the WiFi works fine, but Bluetooth doesn't seem to be working! Anyone have any recommendations as to what I should do? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, but no luck. I had received a BT speaker for Christmas and have been dying to use it wireless!

 

Did you install the Bluetooth drivers? Do you have a hardware switch for the radios? Which O/S?

 

Hey! Yes, I installed both the WiFI Driver as well as the Bluetooth driver. Not sure what you would mean by a hardware switch . I have used Fn+F12 on my laptop which is supposed to enable BT and it doesn't do anything.

Actually I just pressed those keys again just now and it tried to install a Device Driver. it comes up with "Device driver software not successfully installed" "Bluetooth Peripheral Device - Device Unplugged".

I'm not sure what that would even be; I have no BT devices powered on or connected to my laptop!

I have Windows 7 64 bit

 

Try re-installing the Bluetooth drivers with the Bluetooth radio on.

 

hey! got it working now!! not sure if your solution was how it was fixed, but i also tried uninstalling wifi and bt, and installing bt first. one way or the other, it works now . thanks!!!

 

Perseverance usually pays off.

Glad I could possibly have helped.
