WIFI Dropping out

Hello, as per description for Event ID 6062 from source Netwtw12 cannot be found (Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160 =MHz) - Intel Communities we are experiencing the same issues.

 

Same issue here,

 

HP EliteBook 830 13 inch G9 Notebook PC Win 10 21H2 x64

 

Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz

 

Driver Intel 22.190.0.4

 

Strangely enough the trigger for this is a Zoom call (approximately 3-5 mins in)

LiamEvans, Thank you for posting in the Intel® Communities Support.


In order for us to provide the most accurate assistance on this matter, we just wanted to confirm a few details about your system:

Is this a new computer?

When did you purchase it?

Was it working fine before without the WiFi dropping out issue that you are describing?

If yes, when did the issue start?

Did you make any recent hardware/software changes that might cause this problem?

The wireless card, did you purchase it separately or did it come installed on the computer?

Which Windows* version are you using?

Does the problem happen at home or in the work environment?

Please attach the SSU report so we can verify further details about the components in your platform, check all the options in the report including the one that says "3rd party software logs":

Hi LiamEvans, Thank you very much for providing the SSU report.

 

Based on the information shown in the SSU document, the wireless driver version currently installed on your computer is 22.170.0.3, provided by HP. That should be the proper driver for your device since that driver was heavily customized by them to work with your specific platform:

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/swdetails/hp-elitebook-830-13.3-inch-g9-notebook-pc/2100971065/swItemId/ob-299684-1

 

Based on the fact, as you mentioned, that you also tested wireless driver version 22.190.0.4 provided by Intel®, we will do further research on this matter to try to find a possible solution for this issue. As soon as I get any updates, I will post all the details on this thread.

 

In the meantime, for testing purposes, you can try a clean installation of both drivers, 22.170.0.3 and 22.190.0.4, following the instructions in the link below:

Hi LiamEvans, Thank you very much for sharing those results.


We are sorry to hear the issue persists after trying the troubleshooting steps provide previously.


After reviewing the case, we determined that this is actually related to a hardware issue with the Intel® wireless card itself. Based on that, what we recommend as the next thing to do, will be to get in contact directly with HP Support for warranty purposes and additional assistance on this matter:

Thanks Albert,

Interestingly enough it appears that the issue was caused by the Realtek NIC utilised by a startech dock. The error must just appear as the Realtek NIC freezes and interupts windows networking and subsequent network adapters on the laptop. After performing a clean uninstall on the Realtek driver and installing the latest version from the Realtek site (Realtek USB GbE Family Controller) everything has been working fine for the last week.

 

Teams and Zoom no longer freeze when the client makes high quality calls.

LiamEvans, You are very welcome, thank you very much for sharing those updates.


Perfect, excellent, it is great to hear that the problem got fixed after performing a clean uninstall on the Realtek driver and installing the latest version from the Realtek site (Realtek USB GbE Family Controller), and now the computer is working properly without the need to claim the warranty on it.


Thank you very much as well for taking the time to share the solution on this thread, we are sure it will be very useful and helpful for all the peers looking at this conversation.


Any other inquiries, do not hesitate to contact us again.
