Wifi Connection Issues When Using Video Call or Voice Call

[Euan2]

Having WIFI connection issues when trying to use video call or voice call. During the call it comes up saying bad network connection causing the video to freeze often and also for the speech to cut out frequently. This happens on downloaded apps and on web browsers.

I have tested the connection on video call using an ethernet cable and no problems occur. I have also checked the WIFI connection on video call at same time on another laptop and no problems occur.

I have tried uninstalling all network adapters on device manager and restarting the laptop but the issue remains the same. 

Anyone have any suggestions to fix this problem. Thanks

Welcome to HP Community

I have gone through your Post and would like to help

I suggest you download and run the HP Support Assistant from this Link: https://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html?jumpid=va_r602_us/en/any/psg/p...

HPSA will automatically search for all the latest drivers for your Notebook

1. Click My devices in the top menu, and then click Updates in the My PC or My notebook pane.

   

2. Click Check for updates and messages to scan for new updates.

   

3. Review the list of updates. Updates with a yellow information icon are recommended. Updates with a blue information icon are optional.

4. Click the update name for a description, version number, and file size.

5. Select the box next to any updates you want to install, and then click Download and install.

Also ensure Windows is up to date.

Select the Start  button, and then go to Settings  > Update & security  > Windows Update , and select Check for updates. If Windows Update says your device is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available

Keep me posted how it goes

Thank you and have a wonderful day 😊

I have completed all updates via HP Support Assistant and my Windows is also up to date but the issue with the wifi connection remains.
