Intel 7260 AC network adapter

I don't have AC but I've always stuck with intel for my laptop wifi. If you haven't put it in yet take a look around for a bios whitelist because most laptops out there only have certain models they support without having to hack the bios
 
I have a 7 year old Gateway laptop that I put it in. Works pretty good. In the garage I get 351-Mbps which is double (MBps streaming doubled, not just connection speed) what I was getting with an Intel 6300 on the 5Ghz band. In the house it bounces between 525mbps & 866mbps depending where I'm at in the house. In the house it has a max burst speed of 60MBps with an average around 45MBps to 50MBps. It's not anywhere near the sustained 80MBps rate I get with the Asus PCE-AC66 card in the kitchen HTPC though.
 
I know this thread is a bit old, but I have the Intel Dual Band 7260 AC for my laptop. To be honest, I'm not thoroughly impressed with it as of yet. I had the Intel 5300 in it previously and I was getting a solid 144Mbps signal. With the 7260AC, I seem to sit at around 117Mbps and drop lower. I do think this is partly because my laptop has the 3rd antenna option to it which the 7260AC does not.

Fresh install of Windows 7 using the 16.1.5 Intel drivers and my WAP is the Netgear R6300. I can only get 117Mbps using the 5Ghz channel. If I move to the 2.4Ghz channel. My speed drops to around 17-20Mbps.
