It has a wireless network adapter Intel Wireless-AC9560 160MHz. The problem is it randomly stops working. 1st time i faced this issue was in around June,2020. I got freaked out and just did a system restore, and everything came back to normal.

But I started facing this issue again from starting of Oct. The adapter stops working and the wifi stops cause of it. Error message when I go to properties:This device has stopped working (something of this sort)

Locate the drivers you downloaded back in Step 1. Run as administrator, and follow the wizard to completion. To Run as administrator right-click over the file you downloaded and select the option to Run as administrator.

We have not heard back from you, so we will close this inquiry. Please remember to follow the steps given above, and if after that you keep having this problem, you should contact the OEM as this can be a hardware problem.

I also did a install using the 2.0 software but used Win 7 compatibility mode. This seems to be working for now. Otherwise just point the driver search to the download from the above link from device manager and should work through windows. I like having the options of the software too though.

I used this adapter for more than 4 weeks without any issues on Windows 7. I switched to Windows XP about 2 hours ago, installed all the drivers I had, and now WiFi isn't working. Can anyone provide a driver for this unbranded Chinese WiFi adapter?

The issue may be that there was never offical compatiblity for the TL-WN725N V1 with windows 10. The chipset maker may have made one but TP-Link never confrimed the V1 of this adapter would work with Windows 10. Also it has been seen that each time MS updates Windows 10 there is always a chance current drivers will not work or have issues. In situations like that the Chipset make in this case realtek will have to look at the cause and develop a solution for that chipset. Since we do not give offical support for Windows 10 the best solution would be to check with Realtek if this particualr chipset will recieve an update for the new Windows 10 build.

After the last update for Windows 11 insider (Home). The driver for the wireless card stopped working. There is already a guide on the issue on Intel's boards, but it is not working either. So i think the issue is with the Windows.

I managed to bring my Killer wireless network adapter back - after wasted a whole morning. Windows updated overnight and I lost the card after that. This was the error I saw in Event Viewer:

@OussD After a lot of research, the problem is usually solved by resetting the bios to default, mainly on dell laptops. The problem is caused after doing bios update or installing windows 11.
Also don't forget to install the updated drivers.

@ballon999 This is not working on my Surface Pro 7. I've tried uninstalling and removing the driver completely several times and each time on the restart it automatically comes back (even when I'm not connected to the internet). I had Windows 11 and reverted back to Windows 10 and still not right.

I had a similar issue when I got my first wifi 6 networking card. My solution was to turn off automatic band selection in the wifi router settings. Apparently the network card couldn't handle when the band changed (something that the router did seemingly randomly), and so the network card errored out and stopped working until it was reset. However, after I turned off automatic band selection there hasn't been another issue, with that machine.

Everyone, try removing the driver then shutting down the OS, not reset/reboot. I've been fighting this for 2 days straight and even after a complete OS reinstall/downgrade from 11 to 10 the problem is still there. Immediately after the reinstall the wifi adapter worked, but after a few reboots it went back to the same issues/events in the system log. Then I tried removing the driver and shutting down completely before powering back on and the wifi is now working. For how long who knows, but give this a shot if you are struggling.

Just a quick Windows Server 2012 tip on how to use a USB wireless Adapter. Round the office, I have been asked a few times now how I have got a wireless connection on windows server 2012. They have found themselves going to network settings and scratching their heads wondering why only the LAN connection are shown

If you do not feel like using PowerShell the GUI is always an option. Let me run you through this, first things first you will need to open up Server Manager and navigate to and click Add Roles and Features.

Try uninstall the update which caused this issue and see if problem persist?
Try visit your device's manufacturer website and see if there is a newer Wi-Fi driver available.
Are you seeing your Wi-Fi in the Device manager?

It killed mine too! Seems like it is related to network channels. I have tried manually switching on the router and it seems to get stuck on channel 10 for my laptop. problem is if I switch the channel nothing else will connect. It also seems like it is search high non0existant channels. eg channel: 5k+

Solution: all you have to do is, go to "device management" - "Network adapters" - search fo your WIFI module name, mine is "Intel WIFI 6 AX200" right click on it and press uninstall device. Restart your computer and WiFi should be working just fine.

The second possibility is you've been fked over by Windows 11 because their developers are goofs. There are over a dozen WiFi adapter models that we've identified as being incompatible with W11. This is typically a problem in slightly older machines, but long story short - there is no resolution and there will never be one. If the basic steps do not resolve the issue, then you will need to buy a WiFi dongle and bypass the WiFi adapter that's built in.

W11 worked fine for a long time, then KB5025224 just got applied; and it killed the AX200NGW Killer WiFi 6 card. Windows 11 Pro, Dell XPS15 7590; relatively current system, fully W11 compatible; came with W11 Pro. So yes, this is Microsoft causing some frustration. Uninstall device, reboot, then it does come back to life. Happy hunting! Linux Ubuntu, RedHat, Centos and Mint are good options as well. They've come a very long way and are very stable.

What can we do to start a class-action lawsuit against Microsoft? My new laptop no longer connects to the Internet because of this. I want compensation for time and money lost getting my computer repaired or replaced. Thank goodness I kept my Windows 7 laptop and ignored the nag screens for the free Windows 10 update back when that was available. At least I have one working computer.

From the Wi-Fi release 22.100.X package onwards, there will be one INF file as part of the installation package that will support all Intel Wi-Fi 6E adapters. The INF file (Netwtw06e.INF) will provide installation support for current and newer Wi-Fi 6E adapters. Additional Information available here.

Note: This software release version does not include new drivers for the Intel Wireless 7265 Family (Rev.C), Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 and Intel Wireless 7260 Family adapters. Please refer to the following link for latest available drivers here.

If you are not very comfortable with PC networking, we recommend that you install the NETGEAR genie WiFi adapter software for easier setup. If you have prior experience with PC networking and prefer to manage your WiFi devices and connections through Windows, you can install the standalone driver without NETGEAR genie.

The easiest way to set up your NETGEAR WiFi USB adapter is with the NETGEAR Resource CD included with your adapter. If you lost your NETGEAR Resource CD, or if your computer does not have a drive that reads CDs, download the software for your WiFi adapter from the NETGEAR Download Center.

I tried that but device manager doesn't show any network adapter. I bought a macbook air just last week and installed windows 10 (education) on it. I see only 'network controller' in device manager. On a related note, I did have problems installing Windows 10 on this macbook. After Bootcamp assistant created the windows install disk on a flash drive, the computer restarted but did not automatically go to the install disk to bbot up. I had to restart it again and hold the option key for it to do that. So I still do not get the bootcamp screen when I startup. Could my problem be related to that?

I have a similar problem, except I am using a 2008/2009 iMac (I know, ancient by now) and Windows 7. I have been using Windows 7 on this Mac with wifi for a couple years now without apparent problems, but last week my Mac wouldn't boot up (stuck in endless loading at grey screen) (Windows side did boot up and appeared fine). Long story short, the Mac drive was corrupted and I ended up having to erase my Mac HD, reinstall the OS (I stick with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on that computer), and restore my files with a Time Machine back-up.
