Realtek rtl8822be 802.11ac pcie adapter causing significant network issues

[PeteMcH]

Bought this desktop computer around 6 months ago. Since day one I was having issues with the network, where it would have a perfectly fine connection, (50ms) and then a sudden 2000ms spikes every 15 seconds or so. This is fine in everyday use, but in games this is detrimental. I have seen this issue previously posted, but mainly in relation to notebooks and with old fixes that don't seem to work anymore. I would really appreciate if someone could help diagnose this extremely annoying issue, Thanks!

@PeteMcH Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that the Realtek rtl8822be 802.11ac pcie adapter causing significant network issues.

Do not worry. I will try to fix the issue.

Let's run the Wireless Module test in order to isolate failure:

Use the following steps to open the Component Tests menu.

1. Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.
2. Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc repeatedly, about once every second. When the menu appears, press the F2 key.
3. On the main menu, click Component Tests.
4. The Component Tests menu displays.
5. Wireless Module Test - This test checks that the BIOS detects the wireless module and that it is enabled.
   To run the test, click the Wireless Module, and then click Run once.
6. The Wireless Module Test takes 30 seconds to complete.

Please let us know the test result.

Keep us posted,

I went into BIOS and ran the test, but no issues were detected at all. I have also used windows network diagnosis and they don't pick up on this ping spike problem, thanks for the idea though!
