New Intel WiFi 23.50.0 drivers are bogus, right?!


Recommended Posts

Have you experienced speed issues with the new Intel WiFi drivers?

Driver version 23.40.0.4

Whereas on the newest 23.50.0 these speeds are:

I'd say that's a huge difference.

I have both a AX200 WiFi 6, and also AC9560, on two systems having the same ussies on the same network (fiber 1 GB/1GB)

IDK works fine for me on my AX210, same full 500Mbps download speed, better upload speed. I let the Intel Driver and Support Assistant perform a full update.

Same here. Strange this this happens on two devices, each with different specs, CPU's and WiFi cards.

Might be time to run Driver Explorer... see what's lingering in your system. Start fresh with that newer version.

Do you mean DriverStore Explorer?

Is that one safe to use?

Hello,

The drivers are legitimate releases from Intel.  They recently released new Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Ethernet drivers:

I have noticed they typically release new drivers towards the end of the month.

Yes... and yes it's safe to use. You'll see the drivers listed by date and you can remove every old driver laying waste in your system.

This is where I got the 23.60 Drivers from, it works good on speed tests!

There is zero reason to install unofficial drivers from 3rd-parties. Good grief!

I like to get them from (official) Intel sources indeed.

Plus, as mentioned the change in router settings did fix a lot.

drivers are signed from Intel, don't worry they are not made by North Korea or something like that.

I am dumbfounded that in the year 2024 people make the above statements...

Non-official non-WHQL drivers will simply not install in regular windows. After installing the driver, you will see that Driver Provider is Intel. Station-drivers is a well known site which aggregates all known latest drivers. I have been using it since 7-8 years and never had any issues.

Station-drivers is mentioned, but also Necacom.

Maybe that's where confusion lies?

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.
    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
