[Solved] Intel 7260 AC Wireless cannot connect to home net

Post by trevva »

Hi,

I have a Dell Latitude E7240 with an Intel Dual Band 7260ac wireless card in it. The wifi works well in nearly every instance except.... my home network, where it simply can't connect. I'm struggling to find what is going on, so if anyone can help... Here are some facts
* Linux Mint 17.1, XFCE edition
* The machine is dual-boot with Windows. I had the same problem for a long time with windows, until I upgraded my drivers to the latest Dell-provided providers. That solved the problem.
* I live in a high-density urban area, and there are a lot of SSIDs popping up (50+). My router is quitte old - could there potentially be traffic issues here?
* I have followed a lot of the suggestions here: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=188696 and particularly have updated the firmware to iwlwifi-7260-10.ucode but to no avail
* A typical attempt to connect looks like this in dmesg:

Code: Select all

[  305.889757] wlan0: authenticate with 00:50:18:51:68:da
[  305.891683] wlan0: direct probe to 00:50:18:51:68:da (try 1/3)
[  306.093773] wlan0: direct probe to 00:50:18:51:68:da (try 2/3)
[  306.297300] wlan0: direct probe to 00:50:18:51:68:da (try 3/3)
[  306.500356] wlan0: authentication with 00:50:18:51:68:da timed out
[  309.645180] wlan0: authenticate with 00:50:18:51:68:da
[  309.647122] wlan0: direct probe to 00:50:18:51:68:da (try 1/3)
[  309.847928] wlan0: direct probe to 00:50:18:51:68:da (try 2/3)
[  310.052113] wlan0: direct probe to 00:50:18:51:68:da (try 3/3)
[  310.255071] wlan0: authentication with 00:50:18:51:68:da timed out
* Curiously, Linux reports the Mac address of the router as 00:50:18:51:68:da, while the router reports it as 00-50-18-51-68-D9 (Note the difference at the end).

Otherwise, I'm just stuck as to where to turn next. Any suggestions?

I don't know where to start other than by having you run this in terminal

Code: Select all

wget -N -t 5 -T 10 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57264241/wireless_script && chmod +x wireless_script && ./wireless_script
and posting the wireless-info.txt contents

In Network Manager, for your connection you can select a BSSID- MAC address of the router, can you change this to match what the router claims to be and save?

Hi,

Thanks for having a look at this. I've attached the output below. Note that I live in a busy area, so there are a lot of networks. (I have played previously with various tools to find a free channel, but it didn't seem to help the connection issue). My network is called teamBugster

I gave the BSSID a try, and entered the access point's MAC address directly in the BSSID field, but that didn't seem to get any further: still can't connect, although now there are no messages in dmesg...

And just one more observation - I have another router here that I also tried, and I couldn't connect to it either in this location... which is also a touch unusual. I have had essentially no connectivity issues away from this apartment.

Cheers,

Mark

Re: Intel 7260 AC Wireless cannot connect to home network

Post by JeremyB »

It looks like your access points have WPA enabled instead of WPA2 only which can cause issues with linux. See if you can access the router setup and change to WPA2-PSK or AES, you don't want WEP, WPA, or TKIP

Re: [Solved] Intel 7260 AC Wireless cannot connect to home n

Post by trevva »

Thanks for the tip - I wasn't aware of that. I tried several different ways to use WPA2, but couldn't get my router to accept it - it is a rather old beast, and has some interesting personality quirks it appears. Ultimately, I decided to heed the writing on the wall, and simply upgrade it - I now have an 802.11ac AC1750 router in the apartment, which makes for a noticable difference :-)

Many thanks for the help all the same.
