AC 9560 Event Viewer frequent errors

[hexaae]

Errors:
Event 10400, NDIS
Event 5002, Netwtw08
Event 5005, Netwtw08

Same issue on laptop ASUS GL703GS with AC-9560: every minute or so I see the networks logs reporting errors in Event Viewer:

I always install same version for BT and WiFi. Current versions:

Intel® Wireless Bluetooth® for Windows® 10 and Windows 11: 22.120.0
Windows® 10 and Windows 11* Wi-Fi Drivers for Intel® Wireless Adapters: 22.120.0

Tried also previous versions up to 21.80.2.1 but didn't solve the problems.

Before you ask: Windows reinstall, DISM or SFSCheck, drivers reinstall etc. didn't solve the issue.

It seems a common issue Intel or Microsoft have never been able to solve in all these years. Just an example of other threads about this issue:

Dropping WiFi connections - Windows 10 Forums (tenforums.com) 

[SOLVED] Intel Wireless AC 9560 5GHz connection issues : pcmasterrace (reddit.com) 

Strix G531GT - network adapter stops working when gaming, ACPI errors - Page 2 (asus.com)

To help many other users affected by this kind of issues with Intel WiFi, it seems this benign configuration fixed the annoying issue for me (laptop with AC 9560, router Vodafone Station Revolution Huawei / HHG2500), the table below is in italian language but you can easily translate it:

Corrispondenza motivo per riattivazione	Attivata
Efficacia roaming	Medio-basso

Hello hexaae,

Got no mail. Checked also spam but nothing from Intel

EDIT: wait! I've found it (yahoo blocked email from Intel Support!), sorry... will test and report back!

... Installed driver for me is 08:

[hexaae]

I just reproduced the issue again with beta-driver

I just changed in my Wireless setup to reproduce the problem:

U-APSD support = YES

MIMO power save mode = automatic SMPS

then closed the lid of the laptop (-> Standby), and then waited for Hibernation. On resume reopening the lid and pressing the Power button I've found the log in the Event Viewer.

Will now try with your debugging tools written in the mail.

[hexaae]

First log uploaded. Let me know...

[Steven_Intel]

Hello hexaae,

Could you please try the latest driver version 22.130.0? (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19351/windows-10-and-windows-11-wi-fi-drivers-for-intel-wireless-adapters.html) 

This driver should fix the issue you are having. Please let me know of the outcome.

Best regards,

Steven G.

Intel Customer Support Technician.

[hexaae]

No it doesn't fix the issue: I've made a comparison at binary level and the archive is identical to the beta 22.130.0 you asked me to test before this public release. So no, it is/wasn't fixed.

In the changelog I can read:

Description of key issues: Network connectivity loss (Windows System Event ID 5002 and 5005) occurs on Intel® Wi-Fi
6 AX200/201 adapters.

but I have a different adapter: AC-9560 (Netwtw08) and it's not been fixed.

[Steven_Intel]

Thank you for your response.

I will proceed to research more about this issue, and let you know as soon as I have an update.

Best regards,

Steven G.

Intel Customer Support Technician.

[hexaae]

Got it, thanks.

@Steven_Intel 

Unfortunately I was still able to reproduce the issue on my AC-9560.

I've sent you an email with logs from my OneDrive.
