Hello AdrianWZ,


Thank you for posting on the Intel* Community.


Can you please confirm if the wireless card is an integration you made to your system? Also, please provide the specific driver versions you tested on your system.


Are you able to see an error message on the device manager? (for example, code 10)


To better assist you, I will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address associated with your community profile. Please reply to the email in order to provide us with the Intel® SSU report to avoid exposing sensitive information in the communities


Best regards,

Hello AdrianWZ,

 

Thank you for the information provided, we received your email.

 

 

We want to provide you some recommendations:

 

There are two different types of drivers, generics provided by Intel and Equipment Manufacturer drivers, that are customized to work with each specific system. The best thing to do is to use the drivers provided by the system manufacturer or through Windows Update to eliminate the potential impact caused by loading non-custom drivers.

 

Please perform a clean installation and use the latest driver provided by the OEM

 

1. Try a clean install of the wireless drivers following these steps to the letter: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000022173/network-and-io/wireless.html  

 

Step 1: Download and save the drivers on your computer: 

 

Step 2: Uninstall the Wi-Fi driver. 

  1. Uninstall your Wi-Fi driver. 
    1. Go to Device Manager
    2. Expand the Network Adapters category. 
    3. Right-click your Intel Wireless Adapter and choose to uninstall it. 
    4. Make sure to select the option to Delete the driver software for this device
    5. Repeat steps A through D until the option to Delete the driver software for this device is greyed out. 

 

2. Restart your computer. 

 

Step 3: Driver installation. 

Locate the drivers you downloaded back in Step 1. Run as administrator, and follow the wizard to completion. To run as administrator, right-click over the file you downloaded and select the option to Run as administrator. You should test first the driver provided by ASRock as they have been validated to work with your system, if that does not work then you can do the same procedure with the Intel generic driver.  

 

2. Set the recommended settings for 802.11AC Connectivity: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000024678/network-and-io/wireless.html  

 

3. Set the wireless card to Maximum Performance: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005879/network-and-io/wireless.html  

 

4. Have you checked if this issue happens regardless of the network configuration? I.e. happens in different networks, different routers/APs, etc. Please provide your router/AP model number

 

 

Best regards,

Maria R.
