I have a Killer(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX1650i 160MHz Wireless Network Adapter (201NGW) Driver on my windows 11 laptop. And I wanna update my driver to latest version. But I don't wanna install Intel Killer Peformance Suite, I just wanna download driver and update the latest. How can I do it? Because when I go https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/211610/intel-killer-wifi-6-ax1650-is/downloads.html that link it says you have to download performance suite to update driver. But I don't want to. I want just download driver and thats it. Not performance suite. How can we do this? anyone can u help me to resolve this issue? thank you so much.

Also I have a Killer E2600 Gigabit Ethernet Controller.

Though I have never tried it, I believe that you can install the standard Bluetooth and Wireless drivers for the AX201 and it will work just fine.

It's not clear to me why you would want to avoid using the Killer Performance Suite. It offers advantages over the standard driver.

Hope this helps,

Hi S,

Thanks for your response! I want to avoid the Killer Performance Suite because it consumes a lot of memory and bandwidth, and I’m concerned about the amount of data it collects. I’d prefer to stick with just the only driver setup.

 

I found this link into your messages Intel Wireless Wi-Fi drivers: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19351/intel-wireless-wi-fi-drivers-for-windows-10-and-windows-11.html. It seems to support Wi-Fi 7 drivers, but do you know if it’s compatible with the Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1650i?

 

Appreciate your help but not sufficient thank you so much!

Best,

Hi S,

I am writing again. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19351/intel-wireless-wi-fi-drivers-for-windows-10-and-windows-11.html I downloaded and installed it from this link and the driver was updated to the latest version and it worked. Killer Wi-Fi 6 is compatible with AX1650i, thank you for taking the time to write.
