Double click on ‘WLAN Auto Config’ On the general tab, select from the start up type drop down menu, select ‘Automatic’. Under Service Status click on ‘Start’. Then ‘Apply’ these settings and exit from all open control panel windows.
This should then allow Windows to set the required bindings.
Unfortunately, the service is already set to automatic and is running, but the same error message still appears.
Next this thread mentions that installing Cisco VPN client resolved the issue:
When I tried downloading the Cisco VPN client, I was greeted with a message saying that I needed a contract with Cisco before I could get the download. Obviously that's not going to happen.

I guess this issue is too complicated for anyone to solve. Doesn't anyone know how to make an Intel 3160 work with an XPS 27?

I have Zonealarm Extreme Security, but I have tried getting the adapter to work with it disabled and had no success.
In checking on the Cisco VPN client, it looks like the last supported version was Windows 7 and that people have had a lot of issues with it on Windows 8.1. Cisco's download site http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=281940730&flowid=4466&softwareid=282364316&os=Windows&release=5.0.07.0440&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest doesn't mention Windows 8 (or 8.1). Do you think I should try it anyway?

Its worth a try, you can always uninstall it if it causes more issues.

Phillip;
I finally tracked down the Cisco VPN Client download and installed it.
I sure don't know why, but now the wireless AC connection is working.
Thanks for the help!

Its a strange solution, the Cisco VPN must change some wireless settings which resolve the issue.
