    Hi,

    Have you checked Intel's Support pages for the N-7260?   They have a diagnostic tool you can download to test the card itself.  I recommend trying that. 

    I would also recommend checking out Dell's Networking & Wireless Support Center.  There are some good tutorials and articles that can help you track down what is causing the issue.

    The majority of the time these things are usually because of software issues, such as the wireless network profile (not the driver) becomes corrupted and it's communication with the network is faulty, or the firmware on the router itself needs to be updated.  Check out the Wireless Support Center linked above, that should help you out.

    Some quick questions:

    1. Have you tried that system on other wireless networks, and if so, did you have the same problems on other networks?
    2. Have you tried rebooting your router?  Sometimes unplugging the power cord and letting it sit for a moment before plugging the power back in will reset the router connections and allow better communications.
    3. Are other systems experiencing the same problems on that network?

    Let us know if you're able to find out anything using the Intel diagnostic tool, or if you're able to find something in the Dell Wireless Center that helps.  If not, we'll see what else we can do to try to resolve the problem.
