Unfortunately I have not found where Intel breaks out this information. Be careful to match your existing connection type. One issue toВ consider, especially if you're updating an older machine, isВ the increasingВ number of different slot types.

I'll probable update to the 6300, a similar device with Windows 10 driver support. IF you want to update your hardware to a device with Windows 10 driver support, the Intel support site provides this information and also breaks out the devices into active and discontinued (no tech support or new drivers) devices. IF you can get along without the 2.4 GHz band, the 5 GHz seems fineВ on windows 10,В with either the Windows 7 or 8 driver. Hopefully this will save somebody some time. The 5 GHzД«and seems to function the same as before the driver switch. BUT, the connection is unstable both outside and inside the LAN. I AM now able to connect to the Internet on this SSID. The driver installed with no error messages.

My next step was to install their latest driver, theВ Windows 8.0 driver. At this point, I WAS able to communicate on the 2.4 GHz band withinВ my LAN, with no discernable issues. Windows diagnostics came back with the same result. Selected an independent DNS server within the router. Depending on your perspective, the DNS provider IP is either the Router itself (inside the NAT) or the automatically assigned ISP DNS server, if 'Auto' isВ selected within the router configuration. As usual, the Windows messages were overlyД¬ryptic for a layman such as myself. The Windows troubleshooter indicated the connection was properly configured but DNS was not responding. however, I cannot see any wireless ssid's to associate with. 4) Device shows up as active in networking devices. 2) Has latest driver as per manufacturer (hp elitebook 6930p) running win2008R2 server. 1) Shows up in Device manager as healthy. My initial issue with the 2.4 GHz band (SSID) was the inability to connect to DNS (consequently, no Internet). I have a laptop with an Intel (R) WiFi Link 5300 AGN nic. Their latest 5300 driverВ supports Windows 8.0 ењ†4, but not Windows 10. The 2.4 GHz bandДЄs of this date, 6/1/17, Intel no longer supports this device. Range isn't great (as typical for the 5 GHz band, due to the laws of physics and increased interference with this wavelength) but speed and stability are fine.

Connecting toДЄn Asus dual band router, I have no problemsВ withВ the 5300 on the 5 GHz band.

I'm on a Dell Precision M6400 laptop which I updated with the Intel 5300 before updating to Windows 10 Pro ењ†4, from Windows 7 Pro ењ†4. My reply is for those who get here as I did, through a Google search.
