WiFi 6 AX200 doesn’t see WiFi, unless …

Hi

The above card is in a PC I bought in March. It doesn’t see my 802.11ac capable network unless I limit the card to using 802.11b/g/n. Now I understand my network not support ax, but I can specifically disable ax in Device Manager and allow all the others, but it then doesn’t see the WiFi. Only by limiting it to b/g/n can I get any signal.

This seems wrong to me for a backward compatible device etc.

Anyone managed to solve this issue if they have seen it thenselves?

Hello @stuming

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.


In order to review this further, could you please confirm the following information?

1- Did the Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 come pre-installed on the PC? Was it installed by the computer manufacturer (OEM) or did you integrate the wireless card on the computer?

2- Did the wireless connection work fine before at any time? Or is the issue happening since the very first day that you have the device?

3- If this worked fine before, do you remember if this issue happened after a new Windows update or Wireless/Bluetooth driver update?

4- Just to make sure we understand correctly when you say "The wireless doesn't see the network unless limiting it to b/g/n can I get any signal", do you mean you disable the ac and ax standards and the only ones available are the legacy ones b/g/n? Could you please provide details and if possible some screenshots on how and where you change/set these settings?

5- Have you tried a different router or Access point for testing purposes? Maybe one that is AX compatible? Have you rebooted your access point, router, modem? Please provide details.

6- Is the issue happening with both Wireless bands? (2.4GHz and 5GHz?)

7- Router / Access point brand and model:

8- Run the Intel® System Support Utility (Intel® SSU) to gather more details about the system.

  • Download the Intel® SSU and save the application on your computer
  • Open the application, check the "Everything" checkbox, and click "Scan" to see the system and device information. The Intel® SSU defaults to the "Summary View" on the output screen following the scan. Click the menu where it says "Summary" to change to "Detailed View".
  • To save your scan, click Next and click Save.
  • Once you have saved the file (.txt file), please attach it to your reply.

To upload and attach a file, use the "Drag and drop here or browse files to attach" option below the response textbox.
