The Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160 MHz Driver Is Not Working” Error on Windows

Hi,

Drivers should be downloaded from the laptop manufacturer's official website and not from the Intel website.

Try these steps to clean install the WiFi/Bluetooth driver:

1)Download the latest version of the WiFi and Bluetooth driver from your computer or motherboard manufacturer's website and save it to your Desktop.

2. Disconnect from the Internet, (unplug the Ethernet cable and/or disable WiFi).
3. Go to Device Manager>network adapters, right click on the wireless network adapter and choose Uninstall, select the checkbox, "Remove the driver software for this device". Restart your computer while still disconnected from the internet.

4)Right click on the driver file downloaded previously and run it as administrator. Please install the Bluetooth driver first and then the WiFi driver.

5. Restart your computer, reconnect to the internet and try again.

If the problem persists, check for Chipset and BIOS updates or reset the BIOS to defaults.

I am having the same issue. My biggest concern is that I have no way to try any of the suggested fixes because I cannot physically get online. I have a laptop and work solely on Wi-Fi. Since I am unable to connect to, or even see an option for Wi-Fi , I decided to hook up to an Ethernet cable to gain access to the internet. But wouldn’t you know, my laptop doesn’t even have a place to plug in an Ethernet cord. I am at a loss. I have no idea what to do. Please

Help!

Same problem. Unresolved

IDENTICAL error. I've replaced my AX201 with an AX211 then AX210 when I learned the ones ending in '1' are cut-down versions that delegate functions to the intel chipset to save costs. Sometimes it's worked for a week but now I'm in the cycle of it being shut down within a day by Windows.

Tried EVERYTHING over a period of a year, during which time I've used two USB dongles for WiFi and Bluetooth.

I'm pretty sure Windows absolutely refuses to allow anything other than an old broken windows driver to be used - it SAYS it's the latest June 2023 Intel Wifi driver downloaded from Intel, but then it says Microsoft.

I've picked from the list of every possible version, same deal, tried the MS setting changes, followed all to the letter. No bueno :(

error 10/43 You can try

1. upgrade or downgrade the network card driver.
2. Modify the “802.11a/b/g wireless mode” in the advanced properties of the network card in the device manager

and apply it. It can be restored after disabling and enabling it.

3. Intel AX201/211 has multiple hardware revisions, the latest version is 006 which is relatively stable, if it can be replaced

my desktop AX201 failed to start with error 10/43. After changing the wireless mode, the problem was solved.

My laptop AX211 keeps disconnecting automatically. I found that Windows updated the driver to 22.240.0.6 on September 9th. I downgraded the driver to 22.200.2.1 and solved the problem.
