Very slow wifi down load speed with 23.120.0.3

MymsMan — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 13:58:32 GMT

I have a Dell Latitiude 5400 with Win 11 pro and Intel Wireless-AC 9560 160MHz adapter

Since installing this driver my download speed have dropped from 300-500Mbs to 40Mbs!

I have now rolled back the driver to 23.60.1.2 and full download speed has been restored.

The reason I installed the newer driver was to attempt to resolve two other problems with the older driver:

Inconsistent download speeds 40-500Mbs unless I disable TCP IPV6 in adapter properties (connecting to eero 6 router)
Slow down load speed when running on battery power, There are no wifi adapter power mangement options in Power plan advanced settings or on the adapter properties page.

Was it working fine before?
Did you change any settings before the issue started?
How did you update the driver?
Can you also share where did you download the driver?

Apart from the two issues noted in my original post it was working fine before update with download speed 300-500Mbps
I didn't change any settings
I installed (from Intel website) the Intel Driver & Support Assistant app, which did system scan, identified drivers needing update (wireless and bluetooth) and installed them. I used Rollback button on adapter properties page to restore previous driver level
Intel website

If I can provide further information or assist in testing let me know,

Did you manually install this AC 9560 or this is embedded with your system?

Hello MymsMan,

Thank you for the update.

Upon reviewing the SSU, you are using the wireless driver version 23.60.1.2.

The latest generic driver version that we have is version 23.120.0.

Please try to install the latest Wireless driver using clean driver installation method.

Kindly refer to the links below for the latest driver and steps on how to install the driver:

I have completed the uninstall of the wireless adater and clean install of 23.120.0.3

Prior to reinstall download 380.5Mbps

After reinstall and reboot 569.8Mbps

After awake from sleep 40.4Mps

Attached is SSU output taken at this point

After disable/enable adapter 469.5Mbps

So I am still suffering from slow speeds after computer awakens from Sleep state

This slowdown after sleep is repeatable

Hello MymsMan,

Thank you for the update.

Let's try the latest driver form Dell to isolate if this is a driver issue. Let me further explain why, we are doing this.

OEM laptop manufacturer can modify or enhance these controllers base on the design of their system and those changes are unknown to us.

You may check the link below and try to use their driver and observe if there will be improvements.

I have downloaded and done a clean install of the latest driver from the Dell website, version 23.90.2

Results are the same as with 23.120.0.3 from Intel website

Speed are very variable unless TCP IPv6 disabled

With IPv6 disabled

Speed 40Mbps after waking from sleep

Speed 400Mbps+ after disable/enable adapter

SSU output attached

Michael,

Thanks for you continued interest in this problem

I searched the Intel forums for similar issue and found a couple of old (2000) threads describing similar issues without reaching definitive solutions but one post describes disabling 'Wake of magic package' and the 'Wake on pattern match' as a workaround

I am not sure why it works but it seems to work for me and, AFAIK, I don't use either feature

I will continue to monitor speeds to see if the improvement continues
