Hello Anthonywkho,

Thank you for posting in Intel Communities.

I understand you're encountering a 30-second handshake delay when connecting to Wi-Fi networks after restarting Windows, and that updating the driver hasn't resolved the issue. I'm here to help you get this resolved efficiently.

To provide you with the most effective solution, I'll need to gather some additional information about your system configuration:

Immediate Steps to Try:

Even though you've updated the driver, I recommend performing a clean installation of the latest OEM drivers to ensure no conflicting files remain. I'll provide you with the specific latest driver version and download link once I confirm your system details. *You may check the latest OEM driver by contacting your system manufacturer's support team or may use the latest Intel wireless driver version 24.40.0.4.
We can adjust your wireless adapter's advanced settings, particularly the roaming aggressiveness and power management settings, which often resolve connection delay issues. Please check the reference link: Recommended Settings for 802.11ax Connectivity
Make sure your Access Point (AP) or Wi-Fi router supports the 5 GHz frequency band and configured for 11ax mode.
If you aren't sure if the AP is configured for 11ax, contact your AP manufacturer.

If the issue persists, or if you cannot locate the correct OEM driver you need, please help share your System Information below:

Screenshot of your current Wi-Fi driver version
- Device Manager > Network Adapters > Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 > Properties > Driver tab
Screenshot of your exact Windows 11 build version
- Press Windows key + R
- Type "winver" then click "Ok".
Screenshot of your computer manufacturer and model
- Press Windows key + R
- Type "msinfo32" then click "Ok".
- Initial page showing the System Manufacturer, System Model, BIOS version
Your router/access point manufacturer, model, and firmware version
The security type you're using (WPA2, WPA3, etc.)

The good news is that connection delays after restart are typically resolved through proper driver configuration and network optimization. Wi-Fi 6E adapters like your AX210 are designed for fast, reliable connections, and we'll get yours working as expected.

I'm committed to resolving this issue for you. Once I receive the additional information, I'll provide you with step-by-step instructions tailored to your specific configuration.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance gathering this information.

Best regards,

JeanetteC.

Hello Anthonywkho,

Good day to you!

I wanted to follow up on the troubleshooting steps I shared with you previously to help resolve your Wi-Fi connection delays:

Even though you've updated the driver, I recommend performing a clean installation of the latest OEM drivers to ensure optimal performance. You can obtain the latest OEM driver by contacting your system manufacturer's support team, or you may use the latest Intel wireless driver version 24.40.0.4.
1. We can optimize your wireless adapter's advanced settings, particularly the roaming aggressiveness and power management settings, which often resolve connection delay issues. Please reference: Recommended Settings for 802.11ax Connectivity
Please ensure your Access Point (AP) or Wi-Fi router supports the 5 GHz frequency band and is configured for 11ax mode. If you're unsure about your AP configuration, I recommend contacting your AP manufacturer for assistance.

If the issue continues, or if you need help locating the correct OEM driver, please share the following system information:

Screenshot of your current Wi-Fi driver version (Device Manager > Network Adapters > Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 > Properties > Driver tab)
Screenshot of your Windows 11 build version (Press Windows key + R, type "winver," then click "Ok")
Screenshot of your computer details (Press Windows key + R, type "msinfo32," then click "Ok" - showing System Manufacturer, System Model, and BIOS version)
Your router/access point manufacturer, model, and firmware version
The security type you're using (WPA2, WPA3, etc.)

Since I haven't heard back from you over the past few days, I'm hoping the recommendations I shared have been helpful in resolving your connection issues. I'll be closing this case for now to keep our system organized.

If you need any assistance in the future, please don't hesitate to submit a new support request, and we'll be happy to help you right away.

Thank you for choosing Intel.

Sincerely,

JeanetteC.
