Realtek RTL8822CE Wireless having extremely slow speeds

[AlexRelis]

I am using the HP Pavilion 15z-eh000 and on Windows 10, the Realtek driver is broken. I tried both the driver provided by HP and Windows Update and I am still getting speeds of up to 10 Mbits up and down, give or take. I also did something silly and installed the wireless driver on a different laptop with the same WiFi card with the same result.  I eventually installed GNU/Linux on the thing and on a fairly recent kernel I was getting more than 100 Mbit down and around 50 Mbit up, so this seems like an issue with the driver for Windows. I can also confirm that this problem is not HP specific, as my friend's girlfriend is having the same speeds on a Lenovo laptop with the exact same WiFi card.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I appreciate your efforts to try and resolve the issue.  I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue: Firstly, perform Windows Update and HP Support Assistant: (do not skip any troubleshooting steps if you feel steps are repeating) 

To check for updates now, select the Start button, and then go to Settings  > Update & security  > Windows Update, and select Check for updates.

Install updates from HP Support Assistant: Go to Download HP Support Assistant to install the tool.

Hi,

first of all - the Realtek RTL8822CE has a really bad driver!

Update to the WHQL-Driver Version 20.11.2 (Microsoft tested) of AMD Radeon

https://drivers.amd.com/drivers/installer/20.45/beta/radeon-software-adrenalin-2020-20.12.1-minimals...

Then try to use the latest RTL8822CE-Driver with  Version 2024.0.10.220. Comes via Windows Update.

If it crashes you have to go to Version 2024.0.10.210 - like I have to do.

Try it and write your experience.

Regards

Daniel

Hi out there,

there is a new Realtek  RTL8822CE driver -> Version 2024.0.10.221 WHQL.

You can find it here:

And you have to deactivate "Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter", if you have poor Wifi performance or Ping losses.

Works perfect till two days.

Regards

Daniel
