Old laptop connect to AX88U but no internet

[Spartan]

I have an RT-AX88U which is running great and I've added my VPN to it in the VPN client section. I can connect to it just fine from my Alienware Area-51m laptop and my Google Pixel 4 but when I connect my 6 year old Dell Vostro laptop which is using an Intel 7260 Wireless card, it connects but no internet. I tried rebooting the router but no luck

Any ideas?

Is your Intel driver up-to-date?
According to their website, the latest version is 21.10.1 from 21 May 2019 (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/do...-for-Intel-Wireless-7260-Family?product=75439), so its quite old.
Also, the 7260 is "End of Life", so this may have some bearing on your problem.
Until I installed an AX200 card in my Zenbook, I had a 7265D, which although not EoL is still an antique ... but it worked perfectly with my TP-Link AX11000.

I realize that. The driver version is 18.33.17.1

Gonna try that new driver and report back

Edit: Nevermind, the 21.10.1 installer actually installs driver v18.33.17.1 so I guess it won't work. Just wanted to make sure nothing is wrong with the router as I don't care for this laptop it's used downstairs on another router.

With a card this old, I would definitely doubt the router being the problem.
You could try an AX200, costs peanuts.
Bought mine on Aliexpress.

Right, so I installed an old Killer 1202 card in that laptop and now it works fine

Good for you, but the Killer 1202 seems to have better driver support (the current version is 2.2.1461 from 18 May 2020).
