Hello !
I have a problem with this network card (Realtek RTL8852AE WiFi 6 802.11ax PCIe Adapter). My laptop has 2 network cards (one for chain: "Realtek Gaming GbE Family Controller" and one for wifi the one in the title)
I can say I have 2 signal lines in my room, the router is at a distance of about -10 m. The problem is that during a game the signal fluctuates and I have no idea why. I used to have a laptop but I don't have this problem.
I know that normally as it is in the first picture it should be like in the 3rd.
I updated the chain driver that appeared as in the first picture and after I updated it appeared as it is in the 3rd picture.
You can send me the latest driver for this: Realtek RTL8852AE WiFi 6 802.11ax PCIe Adapter because I did not find anything.
