Windows 10: Wifi keeps stopping - Realtek RTL8192EE problem ?

Hi, the Wi-Fi on my pc was before crashing once or twice a day, now it's every 3 to 15 min. Every time Wi-Fi turns of i need to reinstall my network adapter to make it work again. It only happens to my pc so I guess it's because of my network adapter.I tried what was said here : i tried what was said here but nothing works.It's not the first time I've had a problem like that https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/unable-to-activate-hotspot/bb870698-bff0-420c-b5eb-d44535b47398.

Realtek RTL8192EE Wireless Adapter Frequent Disconnect

Hoping someone can help me with a problem with my Realtek RTL8192EE Wireless Adapter. The PC is only a couple months old and other than my wireless internet connection seeming slower than other devices in the house, there was no problem until a week or two ago.

Now I'm finding that my wireless connection is constantly disconnecting to the point I have to open the network troubleshooter to reconnect the adapter.

However, today the PC isn't letting me even do that anymore as it is no longer detecting the adapter at all. It only shows up on the device manager under the hidden files.

I have also tried disabling virtual adapters, updating drivers, removing the wireless antenna at the back of the PC but haven't touched the actual adapter card at all.

After googling I notice others have had similar disconnect problems with Realtek on Windows however I haven't seen anyone else mention that the adapter stops being detectable.

Can someone please advise? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

I have a Realtek rtl8192ee Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC and the earliest update was in 2018 is there any other way i can update it because it is causing me problems

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.
