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.

Regards,

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?

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market

      This is weird. Mythos is more unrestricted compared to Fable. Technically it poses more risk!!

      This is a great thing, I always have issues with Verizon while inside of certain football stadiums due to the saturation and walls blocking signal so a LOS way to connect would be great. Verizon was supposed to be offering sat data this year but I've not heard a word of it lately. Dude is sending rockets into space in a cheap manner, low waste foot print and has a great product with solar/battery tech. We would be so far behind China right now if not for him and a push to get back into space.

      illegally? Proof of that? Seems you are posting misinformation or well a pure straight up lie cause there is zero proof of such a thing. But I get it...
