Windows 10: i need help finder driver for realtek 8852ce wifi adapter

i just need help to find the newest driver for my wifi adapter

:)

 

Realtek Wifi adapter driver disappeared

My HP laptop runs on Windows 10 and was not connecting to the wifi network, displaying the "Cannot connect to this network" error. I found the usual advice saying to "Forget" the network and re-enter the password, which didn't work. Then found another advice
to type Start + X, go to the Device Manager and delete the driver (Realtek RTL8723DE 802.11 bgn WiFi Adapter) and after restarting, it would show up again but fixed. This didn't work either: it showed up again but the issue continued. I double-checked
the password several times trying it in different devices, turned the router on and off. Last advice I found suggested to look for the driver on the Realtek or HP websites. I used another laptop to look for them. I found some in the Realtek and HP, copied
them to my USB drive, then took them to the laptop. When I ran a particular driver I found in the Realtek website, the Realtek RTL8723DE 802.11 bgn WiFi Adapter
completely disappeared, and I can't get it back on with any of the drivers I found nor restarting the PC, so now the wifi option doesn't even show up.

This is the laptop I use to work from home during the COVID-19 quarantine. PLEASE HELP!

 

Realtek wifi adapter isn't working

This problem started a few days ago. Initially I thought it was due to a dead spot in our home. After a few days I realized that was not the case. The troubleshooter narrowed it down to the Realtek wifi adapter. I went to
the Network adapters under Device Manager. There was an indicator there (the yellow triangle I think). I checked for driver update, there were none. Received a "message" that I had the driver recommended and/or up to date. I found info suggesting I roll back
the driver. That option is not available. I found suggestion to uninstall the network adapter, restart and hopefully that reinstalls the driver. That didn't work. The Realtek adapter that I initially was dealing with is now gone. I had other messages in Device
Manager saying the adapter couldn't start code 10 and couldn't be found. I currently have Realtek PCle FE Family Controller listed. I think that was there before but not the wifi adapter initially identified as this problem. This controller seems to be ok.
I found information suggesting some type of installation or update could be the culpret. I had recently upgraded a program so did a system restore back to before the update. Initially this seemed to work but now the problem is back. I found information about
generating a wlanreport but received "failed, error is 0x3A98." I found this Fix Wi-Fi connection issues in Windows - Microsoft Support. I don't believe the problem is the router, modem, etc. basic issues. Ethernet cable works
but that was never the issue. I did not turn off firewall, antivirus protection, etc. as that seems irrelevant and I'm hesitant to do anything anymore. This only other thing on this list that I haven't done is the network reset. Again, hesitant to try anything
else, especially when this article says "last resort." It appears to me that I have completely lost the ability to use wifi and that the realtek adapter needs to be turned back on or reinstalled and nothing else I've seen seems to offer that solution. I tried
virtual assistant which led to some of the suggestions. I thought there was a chat available, can't find it. I don't see what the Skype option is supposed to do; it doesn't seem to "call" anyone.

Trying to find more Realtek info in history: Realtek RTL8821ae wireless lan 802.11ac may be the actual adapter that no longer shows up.

 

realtek wifi not working

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

If your Realtek WiFi USB adapter is not working, there are several steps you can take to diagnose and potentially fix the issue. Here's a structured approach:

1. Try a Different USB Port

First, ensure the problem is not with the USB port itself. Try plugging the adapter into a different USB port, preferably one directly on your computer rather than through a hub.

2. Check Device Manager

• Check for Recognition: Go to Device Manager (right-click on the Start button and select Device Manager) and see if the Realtek adapter is listed under Network adapters. If it's listed with a yellow exclamation mark, there's a driver or device issue.
  
• Update Driver: Right-click on the Realtek WiFi adapter and select "Update driver". You can search automatically for updated driver software. If Windows doesn't find a new driver, try looking on the Realtek website for drivers.
  
• Uninstall and Reinstall: If updating doesn't work, try uninstalling the device (right-click > Uninstall device) and then restart your computer. Windows should attempt to reinstall the driver upon reboot.
  

3. Disable and Re-enable the Device

In the Device Manager, right-click on the Realtek adapter and disable it, then right-click again and enable it. This can sometimes kickstart the adapter into working.

4. Use the Troubleshooter

Windows has a built-in troubleshooter for network issues. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters and run the Internet Connections troubleshooter.

5. Manually Install Drivers

If the automatic update doesn’t work, you can manually download the latest drivers from the Realtek website and install them. Make sure to choose the drivers that match your specific Realtek WiFi adapter model and your version of Windows.

6. Check Power Management Settings

In Device Manager, right-click on the Realtek adapter > Properties > Power Management tab. Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power."

7. Test on Another Computer

If possible, test the USB adapter on another computer to determine if the issue is with the adapter itself or your computer.

If, after trying these steps, your Realtek WiFi USB adapter still isn't working, it could be a hardware fault with the adapter. You might need to consider getting a replacement or contacting technical support for further assistance.

Please feel free to let me know how it goes.
