Hello JFEAR1 Thank you for posting in the Intel Community. Allow me to investigate about the issue in meantime provide me with the following information: • Is the Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 the adapter that came pre-installed on the system? • Have you tried to complete a clean installation of the wireless driver? See the steps bellow. • Try the Advanced Intel® Wireless Adapter Settings for the system's environment (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005585/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking.html) or the Recommended Settings for 802.11n Connectivity (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005544/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking.html). • Please attach to this thread the TXT file the Intel® System Support Utility will generate: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25293/Intel-System-Support-Utility • Steps to save the report: 1- Run the utility. 2- Click on “Scan” to get the scanned system. 3- Once the scan is complete click on “next”. 4- Use the “save” option, save the report to your desktop. 5- To attach a file, you must click the “Attach” option on the bottom left-hand corner of the response box.

I have been out of town using different connections.....I had a big bios update come in as well as a wireless update. The speed on my phone and my computer are matching so the problems seems to be solved.

The key will be seeing where it is when I get back to my office.

But the computer is working correct now you can close this case.
