Wifi problem

[peweuk]

I have an All-in-one which generally I am very happy with.

I do have a problem with wifi though . Iccassionally the wifi seems to drop the connection with the router or reports ' no interent' even though other devices on the same wifi network all connect without a problem.

Is this a commone problem with all-in one, or do I have a problem with the onboard wifi that is unusual, and if so how do I fix it.

What model Wi-Fi adapter does your PC come with?

[peweuk]

It has a - Realtek RTL8852BE WiFi 6 802.11ax PCIe Adapter

The only suggestion I can offer would be to update the Realtek RTL8852BE Wi-Fi driver to the latest version HP currently has for that model:

Realtek RTL8xxx Wireless LAN Drivers 

Version 6001.15.158.601

sp161604.exe

Thanks - I will try that.

It is currently on 6001.15.156.0 .

When I try to update it in Windows it says it is up to date.

The driver I posted was just released to HP in late July so it is newer.

I'm back.

It seems that the disconnecting issue was not related to the Wifi card driver, but since updating I have lost the ability to 'cast' with my AIO. - Trying to cast states that my hardware is not compatible - which it never did before updating the driver.

Any chance of someone having a link to download the original driver to revert it.

If you want the 6001.15.156.0 version this file has it:

Realtek RTL8xxx Series Wireless LAN Drivers

Version 6001.15.156.0

sp157102.exe

Thanks for your help.

Re-installed and 'Casting' now possible again.

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You're very welcome.

That's very interesting the newer driver broke the casting function.

Hopefully, that problem will be fixed in a later revision.

Those Realtek Wi-Fi cards are horrible. 

Nothing but issues, and Realtek releases updated drivers to HP like almost monthly in an attempt to fix various problems.
