Hello, @Zenon3  

 

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities. I will gladly assist you here. 

 

Please, answer these questions to have a better perspective of this issue: 

 

  1. Is the Intel® Wireless-AC 9560 the pre-installed wi-fi card in your laptop or is it an integration (upgrade/ not the original card)? 
  2. Was it working fine before? 
  3. Does this issue happen with another network or router? 

 

Best regards,

Hi Jocelyn,

Thank you for reply.

  1. The Intel Wireless-AC 9560 is the pre-installed wi-fi card in my laptop 
  2. It was not working from the beginning
  3. I did not have chance to check if this issue happen with another network or router

Kind regards

Hello, @Zenon3  

 

Thank you for the information provided. 

 

 

Note #1: Make sure to check you have all the Windows updates before doing the driver installation. Also, make sure to do this step disconnected from the internet (wi-fi or wired connection) when you are uninstalling the driver software since Microsoft updates drivers automatically and prevents doing the clean installation successfully.    

 

Note #2: We recommend checking with your System Manufacturer and using the driver software provided by them to avoid potential installation incompatibilities. Intel supplies generic versions of Wireless Drivers for general purposes. Computer manufacturers might have changed the features, incorporated customizations, or made other changes to the Wireless driver software or software packaging. 

 

Best regards,  

Jocelyn M.
