Hello Ersin 


Thank you for posting on the Intel communities. 


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


  1. Have you tried a different SSID?
  2. Have you tried using a different router?
  3. Does the issue only happens when using 5Ghz or also when using 2.4Ghz? 
  4. Have you tried using the drivers provided by Dell? 


Best regards,

1- Yeah. I've tried.

2- No. I am alone where I am.

3- Yeah. The problem is 5Ghz. I have now restarted the computer. Constant connection error. After 9 minutes it was able to connect to the network.

In general, it does not cause problems on a 2.4Ghz connection.

I am using TP-Link RE200 router.

4- Yeah. I refreshed all drivers. I also tried the driver provided by intel. The problem persists. 

 

I tried by selecting 802.11ac from hardware settings. that didn't happen either.

Hello Ersin, 



In other to help you further, please try/provide the following:



1. Were you able to connect to the 5GHz network on Windows 10?


2. Can you try to connect to the 5GHz network via hotspot (using your phone if possible)?


3. Have you reported this behavior with the laptop manufacturer?


4. Check if the 5GHz option is enabled at the BIOS.


5. Try a clean install of the Intel driver>

I was using a TP-Link RE200 router. I threw this device away. Now I have bought a 'Mi Router AX1800' device with wifi6 support.

Now my problem has been fixed. With this device I am able to connect to 5ghz broadcasts. But I can't use routers that aren't wifi6.

When I go somewhere else, I will try it on other devices.

Hello Ersin, 



I am glad to hear that the issue was fixed by using a compatible router. The full features of the "AX" technology can be used only if the router also supports this technology.


Also, do not forget to use the driver from DELL and also check with them for the features supported by their laptop. Please let me know if you still need further assistance, otherwise, I will close this thread.

I have a connection problem with routers and modems that do not have Wifi6. I will try it on non-WiFi6 devices as soon as possible and provide information.

2. Try to check if the settings are properly set at the router.

3. Check if the router has the latest firmware available installed.
