URGENT!!! Unable to make Intel wireless AC 9462 work well with Chromecast

[AGhos3]

Hi All,

I have a PC with Intel wireless AC 9462 in my computer. I am trying to cast my desktop or tab from google chrome, using chromecast ultra on a display that supports HDMI. The casted screen seems to freeze within a view seconds of performing any activity. We noticed that this doesn't happen with intel wireless 3160 or when we are using a usb wireless adapter like Surf wireless micro usb adapter. Is there anyway this issue can be resolved? Your help will be much appreciated.

From what I know from posts online, Chromecast automatically updates it's firmware. But I can confirm that by calling them up.

Also, is it safe to share that much information about the system over this thread? Also, if you can tell me a little bit about yourself, I may feel more comfortable.

Hello, I don't know if I need to start a new post, but I posted an "answer" in the form of a plea for help. This is an updated version of the .txt file with 3rd party information. Thanks!

I am having the same issue, and would love a solution. I am able to cast to my chromecast when I use a usb wireless adapter; it's definitely intel's wireless that's the problem.

Hello DYoun11, Thank you for patience and for joining our Intel ® community, it will be more than a pleasure to assist you. In this case based on the report that you sent we noticed that your Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software and Drivers for Windows® are not up to date. Please go ahead and try a Clean Installation of Wireless Drivers by following the instructions here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000022173/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking.html You can find the latest Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software and Drivers for Windows® here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28503/Intel-PROSet-Wireless-Software-and-Drivers-for-Windows-10?product=125192 In addition, have you checked if your Chromecast’s firmware is up to date? I hope to hear from you soon. Regards, Diego S. Intel (R) Customer Support Technician Under Contract to Intel (R) Corporation

• I did the clean installation and it did not work. I followed the instructions step by step, removing the proset/wireless software, then downloading the most recent proset/wireless software from the link you gave me. I also cleared out my temp files and restarted the computer. Installation of the new software went smoothly and it asked me to restart computer. I am attaching the .txt ssu file for this method. I am going to do the same thing, but this time I'm going to "Get the latest system-specific driver from your computer manufacturer support." and see if that works. I will also attach the ssu .txt file for that method too.

Here is the ssu for another attempt i did with the latest proset and Bluetooth. Also the chromecast has the latest firmware. Please tell intel to fix this problem!

[DYoun11]

Here is the config for the latest manufacturer driver. Just as a note, in both tests, my wireless never went down, even after uninstalling the proset/wireless software. I am going to go into device manager and uninstall it there. Also the chromecast is latest firmware. Please get intel to fix this problem! I also got this error when i tried to reply to my reply "ICS_FeedComment_Trigger: execution of AfterInsert caused by: System.DmlException: Update failed. First exception on row 0 with id 5000P00000l7fTOQAY; first error: UNABLE_TO_LOCK_ROW, unable to obtain exclusive access to this record or 1 records: 5000P00000l7fTOQAY: [] Class.ICS_FeedComment_Handler.feedCommentUpdatecaseStatusHandler: line 327, column 1 Trigger.ICS_FeedComment_Trigger: line 48, column 1"

Hi Diego,

Apologies for the delay, I was on a vacation. This issue does exist. I didn't want to share the generated system information as it had many MAC ID's and IP addresses. But this link has the configuration of the system I am using

https://www.msi.com/Desktop/Trident-3-8th/Specification

Also, I have even had someone manually replace the 9462 chip on the motherboard with a few other intel chips like 8265 and 3165 and they both work. Can we reopen this case or start a new one?

[Diego_S_Intel]

Hello DYoun11 and AGhos3, Thank you for patience and responses. In this case, it all points to be a hardware compatibility issue. Since we already covered all driver-wise troubleshooting by clean installing our wireless drivers and performing the Chromecast's firmware update, and the report from users using 8265 and 3165 cards with no issues, the culprit seem to be a hardware compatibility issue between the card and the actual device. In this case our best recommendation is to contact Chromecast support to see if they have a list of compatible peripherals and verify if the unit is approved. I hope to hear from you soon.

Hi. I did get in touch with Chromecast regarding the same. They have forwarded it to their Engineers after a long conversation over the phone. After that, I am not aware if they took any action on this.

[Diego_S_Intel]

Hello AGhos3, I understand. Our best recommendation is to contact them again for more information, and ask for higher support/management if necessary. I hope this helps. Diego S. Intel (R) Customer Support Technician Under Contract to Intel (R) Corporation
