Intel BE200 and Ideapad S340

I upgraded my network card on my ideapad s340. I noticed that when I leave the bluetooth component on the m.2 card enabled, when I restart my computer my WIFI and bluetooth will show error code 43.

Sometimes if I restart; both the wifi and bluetooth will work again. Sometimes I have to uninstall the device, reinstall the drivers and both Wifi and bluetooth will work. Sometimes I will restart and it will both work fine, but usually on the next restart both will show error code 43 again.

I was going crazy until I read a twitter/reddit post where someone suggested disabling the bluetooth device.

Once I disabled the bluetooth device, and restarted the WIFI works perfectly again. I can now restart it as much as I want and the WIFI works fine.

I have a separate USB bluetooth so this seems to be an acceptable solution in order to maintain Wifi 7. Well technically I am using it for WIFI 6E.

Is the laptop just underpowered when it comes to be BE200 ? Is it just not supplying enough reliable power to utilize the bluetooth and wifi at the same time?

Is this a driver issue that could be resolved ?

I hope this post helps anyone having issues with the BE200 and an older laptop.

issue might be related to a few potential factors, Power Supply, Driver Conflicts, BIOS/UEFI Settings, or Compatibility. But given that you have found a workaround by using a separate USB Bluetooth adapter, this seems like a practical solution for now.

About the Code 43, well it occurs when Device Manager is unable to start the hardware device. This error is generally considered a generic message that indicates an unspecified issue. For that issue, visit this Intel link where they have posted a solution for these errors
