HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop PC TG01-2000i (1K4J1AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

Computer is about 2 weeks old.  I keep losing WiFi connectivity -- i'm actually on the web via hardwire.  I just checked on Device Manager and the Realtek WiFi was disabled.  This is the second time i've found it disabled.  I enabled it again but i'm pretty sure it will go down again.  I believe i have a bad card but there seems to be no way to contact HP.   All i get is the map indicating my closes service center is 2h away.  I don't need a service center, i can put the card in.  I just want to get a replacement card

The driver listed by @Paul_Tikkanen is much newer than the one I found by looking up up your product ID (1K4J1AV)

 

You have the stark motherboard and it has slots for PCIe adapters in addition to a dedicated slot for wi-fi & bluetooth

 

Do you have any adapters (cards) in the PCIe slots?

Please provide the name of the Wi-Fi adapter.as well as any add-in cards.

The device manager can provide the name of the Wi-Fi card in addition to the version.

The driver for the Realtek should be at least version 10.051.0811.2021

The device manager should list the driver version

Even though the system is new,  you might have an older Wi-Fi driver.

Please run the HP Support Assistant and check for updates.

 

Adapters are disabled if they are defective or if some other device is using it's resources 

Your Wi-Fi is an m.2 that fits into a dedicated space on the motherboard..

If it is disabled then there is something wrong and can be replaced under warranty.

i did update the driver.  Still drops out.  Thanks for the reply.  Any idea how to contact HP?  I can't find a way to send an email or call.  Just a map to service centers

Hi, @alkemiker 

 

You were provided with the ethernet driver by BeemerBiker.

 

This is the latest Wi-Fi driver for the Realtek Wi-Fi adapters...

What model Realtek Wi-Fi card does your PC come with?

Thanks.  Still no joy.  Pretty sure the card is defective.  Will try to hash it out with HP

You're very welcome.

So, I first thought this didn't work.  However,  I have now not lost WiFi for several days.  The driver provided by @Paul Tikkanen seems to have solved my problem.  

Thanks to both of you
