Intel wireless 7265 constant connection drops

[DBain]

Hi,

as pointed out in the following post :

I get constant connection drops with my new laptop (HP Omen 17 with kaby lake CPU and dual band 7265, windows 10 with latest updates as of 02/20/2017)

I tried several drivers (including the last one from your website and the one from the HP support website).

For each try I did uninstall (without keeping settings) and restart prior installing the other version.

The fact is that the connection can be stable for several minutes or hours. It seems that it drops when there is some "heavy" trafic : loading new tabs in firefox while downloading a file for instance.

And then no trafic occurs : the web pages won't load and download stops. While the wifi icon is still okay with 5 bars.

I have to force disconnect/reconnect to make it work again

I tried switching some settings from the driver such as VHT/HT with no luck

Thank you for your support

Regards,

Damien BT

Hi,

thank you for your response. My laptop is 3 days old so I can say I have this problem since ever.

My other devices (smartphone, another PC with a wifi AC non-intel chip) work correctly with no drops.

My access point is an Asus RT-AC66U (latest firmware)

I haven't tested it yet with other routers but so far I would say that the router is not in cause as my other devices have no issues.

I can raise a ticket on HP support site but I saw from your support forum that I am not the only one in this situation so I hope that you would narrow it down more easily

Please find the report attached.

Regards
