Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz Netwtw12 error 5001 5010 5006 cause wifi drop

My WiFi constantly drops for no apparent reason, and the AX211 driver often crashes, causing the WiFi icon in Windows to disappear. Each time, I have to go into Device Manager, disable and then re-enable AX211 to make it restart. Sometimes, one restart is not enough, and I have to restart it twice for it to be successful. In the Windows Event Viewer, there are consistently reports of three errors: 5001, 5010, and 5006.

Moreover, I've noticed that when my computer is running some resource-intensive tasks, it is more prone to issues. For example, when compiling a large program or playing certain video games. Even during normal computer usage, occasionally, it encounters problems. For instance, if I leave it on overnight without shutting down, the AX211 in Device Manager has already stopped working when I check the next day.

I have reinstalled the driver for 3 times, but this problem just becomes more and more serious! I'm using the latest driver, version 22.250.1.2

  1. Both.
  2. Yes.
  3. Yes.
  4. No.

I wonder if the network card has any logs and tools to check them? Maybe then I can find more clues to the cause of the problem.

I have clean installed the OEM driver yesterday. Please give me some time to make sure this problem has gone. It doesn't always happen.

I have almost the same issue with the same wifi adapter model Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/Intel-R-Wi-Fi-6E-AX211-160MHz-driver-keeps-stopping-code-14/m-p/1552641. The driver will just stop code 14 and I have to restart.

 

Intel should seriously look into this.

Hello yhgu2000

 

Thank you for patiently waiting.

 

There is a new driver for your adapter, please perform a clean installation: Windows® 10 and Windows 11* Wi-Fi Drivers for Intel® Wireless Adapters


After that, please make sure you follow this article: Recommended Settings for 802.11ax Connectivity

 

Could you please confirm if your router has the latest firmware? (You may need to contact the system manufacturer).

 

Finally, please update your Windows to the latest version: Start > Settings > Windows Update.

 

Best regards,

Jose B.

Nah, clean installation of the newest driver doesn't help. I have confirmed that I'm using the recommended settings. I'm also sure that this problem has noting to do with the routers, because I have used my laptop on many different WiFi networks (routers) and this problem occurs regardless.

 

I think I know why the WiFi is automatically disconnecting. When this issue occurs, a large number of errors such as 5002, 5005, 5032, and 5055 are generated. When these errors accumulate to a certain extent, perhaps due to storage exhaustion, the driver crashes, and a yellow exclamation mark appears on the AX211 in the Device Manager.

 

Could it be a hardware problem? Maybe my WiFi card is defective? It's worth noting that this problem only arises under heavy load, so is it possible that the motherboard is experiencing problems, such as power shortages? If that so, I will send this **bleep**ty computer back to HP for repairs.

 

The attachment is some more logs saved from Windows Event Viewer.

Hello yhgu2000

 

Thank you for the information provided.

 

After checking the log files, and the troubleshooting performed so far, we determined that the issue could be related to card itself as you mentioned. So, we highly recommend contacting the system manufacturer for further assistance.

 

Please keep in mind that this thread will no longer be monitored by Intel. Thank you for understanding.
