Pavilion 15-p010us
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Good evening,

 

My laptop has a fresh install of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.  I've tried reformatting but the same problem is present.

 

If I do the automatic search for an install updates after KB2999226 & KB976902 the following happens.

 

My wifi keeps disconnecting with a red X over the wifi icon in the task bar.  Clicking on the wifi button shows that there are no network available until I restart the computer and it auto-connects to my network.

 

I have rolled back the updates to only include the two listed above and my wifi is working fine.  Can someone review my specs and problem and get back to me with suggestions?  I have Googled all over to no avail.

Hi:

 

The parts list for your notebook indicates that it comes with a Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11bgn Wi-Fi adapter.

 

I don't even see that model wifi adapter driver listed on your notebook's support page.

 

This is the latest W7 wifi driver for the Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11bgn Wi-Fi adapter, your notebook has.

 

Maybe updating the driver will resolve the Windows Update issues causing the wifi to disconnect.

Thanks for the reply.

 

I've tried that driver before but had issues but I will give it another shot.  I updated the driver last night and started the 185 important windows updates.  

 

I will let you know how it worked today after work.

You're very welcome.

Good evening,

 

I've finished with all available Windows updates and even installed the optional updates besides the rollout previews.

 

The problem is back... Now instead of the Network connections not showing in the list it shows my conection as limited connectivity until I click the troubleshooter... It resets my network adapter and gets me back online until it shuts back off again.

 

EDIT: I take that back... If I  click on the wireliss network icon in the taskbar it shows my network connection with no internet limited connectivity... If I click disconnect on that network it disappears and then shows no networks available.

 

 

 

I've already adjusted the setting to not allow Windows to power off the wifi adapter.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

 

Here is the result from the network troubleshooter once it resets my adapter.

Hi:

 

Sorry to read that the driver update didn't help.

 

A this point I don't have any other software suggestions for you to try.

 

You may want to consider replacing the Realtek wifi card with a different model, and see if that resolves the issue.

 

The problem is that it is not super easy to get to where the wifi card is located.

 

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

 

The wifi card R & R procedure can be found in chapter 6.

 

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04402649

 

If this is something you would feel comfortable doing after reading the manual, there is another thing you need to check out before replacing the card.

 

You need to know if there are one or two antenna cables connected to the RTL8188EE card in there now.

 

With only one antenna cable, you can replace the wifi card with the RTL8723 card listed in the service manual.

 

I don't know why the Broadcom 43142 card wouldn't work in your model, but the manual says it is for Intel models only.

 

But if it has two antenna cables, you can get the better Broadcom dual band AC wifi card listed in the manual.

Thanks for the reply.  

 

I believe you are wrong in suggesting a hardware issue.  The wifi works fine until I install the 175+ important Windows Updates and then it starts failing again.  This is an issue with a Windows Update, not the hardware.
