Also, I noticed that you report having an error message with your Intel® I211 Gigabit Network, which is an ethernet module that is used to connect a wired LAN cable. However, you state that you have problems with the WiFi, which disconnects every hour. Could you confirm if the issue is present in a wired or wireless environment?

Hello d4n1,

Thanks for your response.

In order to have a better understanding of your issue, please provide me with the following:

• You mentioned in your previous post that the error Code 37 was related to your Intel® I211 Gigabit Network. Keep in mind that this is an ethernet adapter (cable connection), your wireless device is the Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168. For confirmation, please, provide me with a screenshot of the error message provided.
• Are you having issues with Bluetooth as well?
• Do you remember if this issue happened after a new OS update or Wireless driver update?
• Can you confirm if the wifi issue can be replicated with other devices?
• Are you able to reproduce the same issue while on a hardwired connection?
• Is this the original adapter that came pre-installed in your system or have you changed/installed a new adapter recently?

I also noticed on the SSU report, that the wireless driver installed on your system is 19.51.40.1. I understand that you installed an outdated driver to confirm if the issue could be resolved. However, if the issue persists, it is always recommended to keep your system up to date. The best thing to do is to use the drivers provided by the system manufacturer (OEM), and I would recommend following the Clean installation process:

• Download and save the driver version 22.20.0.6: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty%20B450%20Gaming-ITXac/index.asp#Download

• Disconnect the unit to the internet.

• Uninstall the Wi-Fi driver.

1. Go to Device Manager.

2. Expand the Network Adapters category.

3. Right-click your Intel Wireless Adapter and choose to uninstall it.

4. Make sure the option to Delete the driver software for this device is selected.

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the option to Delete the driver software for this device is greyed out.

• Restart your computer.

• Install the driver downloaded before

Locate the driver you downloaded. Right-click the file you downloaded, and select the option to Run as administrator.

I have the same i211 onboard NIC on a Gigabyte motherboard.

Driver 13.0.14.0 (24/02/2022) doesn't work on Windows 10, seems to only be for Windows 11.

Driver 12.18.13.0 (14/12/2021), is the last one I have found to work on Windows 10.

Hi Jean,

Thanks for your reply but I don't have a question or issue, or at least not one that warrants a new thread, I was just responding to the OP that the driver version they mentioned as not working for them only appears to be for Win11 and that for Win10 the older version I mentioned seems to be the latest one that works. 

The older driver is the one that gets installed when running the latest installers, the newer driver only seems to get installed if you manually update the driver via device manager.

Happy to look at the thread you mentioned but your link doesn't point to a specific thread.
