intel(r) wi-fi 6e ax211 160mhz driver error

I solved the problem and it turned out to be a hardware issue.

Presumably, there was a "detachment" of the Intel 6E AX211 chip, possibly due to overheating...

On the Dell Precision 5570, the 1216 form factor chip is soldered onto the motherboard. I was only able to buy an AX201 as a replacement. However, I first preheated the old chip on the motherboard with flux. Of course, the protective casing made of thin sheet metal was removed during the soldering process. After that, I reassembled the laptop (with the old AX211 chip) and, lo and behold, everything worked as it should. According to the datasheet, these Wi-Fi chips should withstand up to 80*C.

Have had the same problem for almost the last year (though it's becoming increasingly frequent). I used to fix it by restarting, but the fastest fix I've discovered so far is to go to device manager > network adapters. The wifi driver usually shows an error, so I disable and re-enable the driver after a few seconds. This usually fixes it, but would love a solution to the problem altogether.

Hi all,

I have same problem.

My customer have several NTB HP FireFly G9 include Intel Wi-fi 6E AX211 160 Mhz. Wifi Infrastrukture is Aruba IAP - 515.

Users are connected to Wifi to speed around 2 000 Mbps. Yet when I copy a 1.1Gb test file, I can't get faster than a max speed of 25-27 MB/s.

If I do it from a virtual environment , it takes about 2 seconds...

The problem with production occurred when the card driver in Windows 11 was updated from version 22.25.1.2 to a newer version.

The speed didn't change, but SQL queries in an accounting application like SQL client - server slowed down unrealistically , in seconds.

The return of the old driver brought speed back to the application.

Tested the latest drivers 23.40.0.4 and 23.50.0.6

Best regard,

Radek Ryšan

I bought a used motherboard from Dell Precision 5570 (with i7-12700H) with a soldered Wi-Fi ax21 chip, Win10 installed. And everything is the same: code 43 | code 10 (The device is not using resources). both antennas are connected (several times). Bluetooth (via same chip) works.

In Win11 also does not see Wi-Fi device.

But it looks like it's a hardware problem. Everything related to wireless communication is enabled in the BIOS.

Wi-Fi Device -> Intel Wireless

Bios has been updated to the latest version. Drivers for Win10 were used from 2021 and 2023 downloaded from page for ax211d2w.

Yeah that doesn't work. I have this same issue, and I have downloaded the driver (online and through windows update) and it doesn't fix the issue. Currently only have internet through ethernet adapter, not the wifi card. Every time I go to connect the wireless network, it just says "cannot connect to this network" and under the Hardware and Connection properties, it even says that the status is Not Operational. Driver version: Intel (R) Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz - version 23.40.0.4
