the intel 7260 will work fine with AX. You just need to update the driver directly from intel and not through dell.

Thanks. The drivers have been updated and still no connections.

What driver version do you have installed on the computer?

I have an intel 7260 and its connected to my RAX200, CAX80, and an WAX218 without issues

I am not sure but Intel said I have the latest.
All my other devices connect to the MR5100 without problems, including a Dell laptop, HP printer, Mac mini, etc.
I am currently connected to a Verizon jetpack so I at least have internet service.
The desktop has always connected to any internet providers I have used in the past.

If you go to your device manager, then click on the intel 7260, you should be able to find what driver version you have there.
