Realtek RTL8188EE adapter wifi problem

I have a HP Pavilion 17-e016dx Notebook PC running windows 8.1 and I am having problems with the realtek RTL8188EE. When I connect to the my netgear R6300v2 AC router it has signal and speed issues. I use inssider 3 to show the signal btw, I noticed the signal droped from -54dbm to -68dbm without moving the laptop and the router has good signal and speed for other devices except this laptop. So this wifi adapter has a problem with the r6300v2. If anyone can help me fix this or let realtek acknowledege this issue I would really appreciate it.

Hello KMac10,
I see that you're having issues with the wireless working correctly. I will try to help you with this.
I was able to find a newer driver for the wireless adapter in your notebook:
Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Driver for Microsoft Windows.
If after loading that you're having the issue still the following:
Go into Device Manager, click the "+" by network adapters, next right click the wireless driver and choose to uninstall. Restart the notebook.
Start with that and let me know how it goes.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

P965 PLATINUM / REALTEK network adapter connectivity problem

hi,
I cannot connect my PC with my laptop using a crossover ethernet cable. All of the crossover cables I have tested operate as expected when used to connect other computers. A fact that complicates things more is that the connection status is indicated as "connected" in the network connections window but no packets are received at all.
My configuration:
MSI P965 PLATINUM (flashed with v1.2 BIOS)
OS: Windows XP PRO SP2
REALTEK driver version: 5.654.721.2006
Network IP, mask and gateway are manually assigned.
Note1: The network adapter works totally fine when connected with my router using a straight UTP cable.
Note2: My brother's PC (which has exactly the same configuration as mine) has the same problem.
Thanks in advance

Thank you all for your tips.
Please note that network file sharing is enabled. If I use my ADSL router as a gateway (it is 192.168.1.1 as you can see in the ipconfig commands output) the computers do communicate.
Problems arise when I use a crossover or straight cable to connect directly my desktop and laptop. Some things I have tried:
- I have disabled the firewalls on all computers.
- If I ping the localhost (127.0.0.1) I get packet replies. However, when I ping the other host I get timeouts.
- I have set the connection speed manually from the device manager to 100mbit/full. Still no good.. :(

Is there any utility to check my network adapters? It is a VERY weird situation, because on both adapters the green light is constantly ON, and the orange flashes from time to time. I assume this means that on hardware level everything is fine. Moreover, I cannot believe that there is a firewall/AV that interferes, because even if I shut them down, I still can't ping the other host.
Thanks in advance

Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11 Wi-Fi adapter

This is a foolish question, I know, and I don't expect an official response, just asking for opinions. What's the harm in connecting a 6 ft. AWG22-26 wire to the unattached terminal of the Realtek RTL8188EE wireless adapter?

Hi:
If it doesn't push the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) into the danger zone, I don't see any problem with it at all.
I highly doubt it will, but unless you have the card and modified antenna system tested and validated by an authorized place that does SAR testing, you can't be 100% sure.
Here is an example of such a service, but more importantly, it describes what SAR is, and why testing is sometimes necessary -- even for laptops.

Is your K model desktop internet or download slow? possible solution? RTL8188E adapter driver info

I figured I'd make this post because it may help someone else.
I just spent wayyyy to much time trying to get my computer to download anywhere near what it should. I would start at like 1Mbs and then fizzle out to like .5-.4 Mbs. Enough about me, let me tell you what I did to solve this.
I should first say: I have a Realtek RTL8188E Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC network adapter on here. I was told to update the driver to fix the problem.
I tried the link that was given on a Lenovo forum for the driver but that didn't help at all, 2 other people in that post also said it did not work. So I did some searching and found this site:
http://www.driverscape.com/download/realtek-rtl8188e-wireless-lan-802.11n-pci-e-nic
(I am in no way affiliated with this site, it just happened to work for me)
When I downloaded the driver from here, I used it to update my network adapter.
For those who need a bit of a walk through,
Copy the location of the driver files after you download it and then,
Go to Control Panel, pull up the device manager (just search for "device" and you'll see it.) Open Network Adapter field, right click the RTL8188E... icon, select properties, under Driver tab you'll see update driver. Chose Browse my computer for driver software, this is where the copied address of the driver comes in handy, paste it in and choose next.
Now, my device shows the name: "1x1 11b/g/n Wireless LAN PCI Express Half Mini Card Adapter"
Good thing? Bad thing? No clue. Maybe someone who knows more than me will come on here and explain that but here is the practical info, my downloads are way faster and not fizzling out.
Speedtest.net (which i recomend if you want to see how your internet connection is performing) now has my DL clocked at 40.8 Mbs and Up at 28.8Mbs.
Again, I am not a computer expert, especially not in this particular situation. I just know I am happy with the results. I hope this saves someone the crazy amount of time and energy I put in to figuring this out.
Good luck!
p.s. feel free to reply if this works for you as well, or if you have some kind of thoughts on this, I'll try to check back.

My five cents.....
....bought a Thinkpad 545 a couple of weeks ago. Download speed was very slow but at that time I suspected it was Comcast's fault. After I had 3 PC's sitting on my desk (wife/daughter) the only one running at speeds UNDER 1, was my Lenovo.
Called the Lenovo Serice several times but they kept telling me that it was NOT the Thinkpad that was slow but my Internet connection....hello.....2 PC's running good at speeds of 18 - 19.....only the Lenovo is slow.....
Finally they connected me with the "special service department" {or something like that).
First of all: I could NOT understand the guy ...was from India or something. After a while I understood that he wanted money from me to look at the problem....A brand new computer.....pay money to make it run????? Very bad Serive!! He got very rude with me, too.
Then I tried Damerflinns suggestion. It worked like a charm. Thank you very much!!!!!
Just wanted to say THANK YOU!

HP Pavilion dv6-3043ee Realtek Network Adapter not found in Device Manager

Hi I own an HP Pavilion dv6-3043ee, 64bit and running Windows 7. And somehow the network adapter for the LAN got uninstalled for some reason. Now after posting something on the site I finally downloaded the driver for my laptop.
Now another problem, after or at the end of the installation process a pop up message was shown:
"The Realtek Network Controller was not found,
If Deep Sleep Mode is enabled Please Plug the Cable."
Now I checked Device Manager to see if the Realtek Network Adapter was there but it wasn't. All I can see are:
-Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n Wifi Adapter
-Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network)
-Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocl TDI)
-TAP-Windows Adapter V9
Someone please help. Thank you.

If device is identified but there is no driver for it, it will be appeared as unknown device in Device Manager with question mark icon (?), are you seeing such thing in device manager?
If not, you should refer to your PC manufacturer's website and download.
Make sure report this issue using Feedback App.

RTL8188EE Huge Connection Problem

I recently bought a Toshiba Satelite C75D-A7370, my wifi adapter Realtek RTL8188EE has been having severe packet loss while my other laptops run perfectly fine. Even on Windows 8 or 7, I have even toyed around with the modem, this network card does not handle packets well period. I think I have found a soulution on ubuntu forums but I do not know how to shift the commands to arch so if you can please help me.

I think you can just run the install.sh script in the git directory. You'll have to reinstall when the kernel changes.
Someone smarter than I could probably make a package out of it.

Realtek 8111D adapter can no longer connect at gigabit speed to WRT610N after firmware upgrade

Ever since I flashed to the newest firmware, the Realtek 8111D adapter on my Gigabyte X58 Motherboard can no longer connect at 1 gig to the router. There is a connection detected in the OS but I wasn't able to get into the config at 192.168.1.1 or use the internet. Finally, after two days of messing around, I got things to work again by limiting the network adapter to 100 MBPs. Is this most likely a bug with the firmware or is it something else? Is there any way to flash back to the original firmware?

Its not the problem with the Firmware. When you update the firmware on your router, you need to Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...After this try to see if your computer is working on 1gig speed.

Wifi problem - connection stalls. MSI GE620DX

Hi,
Bought this laptop May 2011. OS Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel Centrino Wireless-N 130 wifi adapter (from Windows device manager).
I have had the same Wifi problem from the beginning. The Wifi connection stalls every 5-20 seconds or so. The wifi stays connected but basically it is just like it is losing packets for some seconds. Like if I'm streaming a video (Internet or LAN, the exactly same thing) with VLC, the video starts to play nicely but after 5-10 seconds it starts to skip frames and stops for 1-4 seconds and then continues again. (But Youtube for example usually works better, because it buffers the video and can handle these network errors.)
Other services behave exactly similarly, like file transfer. It is relatively slow to begin with but also varies in speed. If I transfer from another computer in the same LAN (other computer with wired connection) the speed is about 600-700 kB/s. Web browsing sometimes needs a refresh on the browser to get the page to load. I tried pinging my router, results were: Sent = 2730, Received = 2589, Lost = 141. Round trip fastest = 1 ms, slowest = 2407 ms, average = 7 ms.
So, you understand this is quite frustrating at times.
I initially thought the problem is just some incompability with my router and this MSI laptop Wifi. But I now have experience with four different networks in four different locations and the results are always very similar. So I am quite sure the fault is with the MSI. With wired connection there's no problems at all but that is not always possible and basically the Wifi should just work.
I have tried different driver version but absolutely no difference. The latest driver was just updated from Windows Update and no difference in performance. I have also tried to let both the Intel PROSet/Wireless software and Windows to manage the Wifi connections, but again, no difference what so ever.
I'm kinda thinking it's a hardware problem.
Any advice or should I just contact MSI for repairs? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Buluunee!
After your advice I decided to once again reinstall, starting by uninstalling the driver and also Proset. Once uninstalled both, I just installed the driver (or actually Windows found it automatically, altough I thought I had removed it). Now, without the Proset, this seems to be working!
There was something odd happening after a reboot, wifi connected but didn't get IP address. Another device worked fine on the same network. I had an extra router and this is working nicely even after some shutdowns. So, it seems this was after all a softaware problem.

Strange wifi problem on a brand-new MacBook Pro

Hey there, I'm new here. Desperation has got the better of me, and I hope I can get some advice.
So, last sunday I bought a brand new 13" MacBookPro with 2.8g i7 processor and 10.7.2 OS (I can't update to 10.7.4 because System Update tells me the download has been tampered with or corrupted after I waited 2 hours for it to finish, but I'm trying a direct download from the website). Here's the exact product: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MacBook-MD314LL-13-3-Inch-VERSION/dp/B005CWIZ4O/ref= sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1340301247&sr=8-5&keywords=macbook+pro+13
Everything is all perfect except for a strange wifi problem. Note that the wifi does not turn-on or off, it doesn't disconnect after 'sleep', it doesn't get less speed, it doesn't constantly leave a preferred connection (once I chose my home wifi it always connects to it no problem). The wifi bar is always full. What is wrong is that the internet is kinda 'glitchy'. The best metaphor I can think of is that it's like a car that has to be pushed down the road before the engine can start. Please, bear with me because this is kinda hard to explain and I'm not good at tech lingos.
One of the symptoms is browsing can get really slow and inconsistent, almost as if the wifi gets turned off in the middle of browsing. For example: if I look something up on Google and then open 5 new tabs, probably only 2 or 3 of those tabs will eventually load while the other two will not get past the long 'http:.......google.....etc etc' address and will eventually show one of those 'error loading page because there's no Internet connection' notice. This happens a lot. Sometimes I have to refresh/retry loading a page a couple of times before it finally loads, then usually everything will get back to normal and I will be able to open multiple tabs with no problem, but in a couple of minutes I would try to open another site and the problem will start again.
So I tried to see how it does with downloading using iGetter. Fortunately I also have a Macbook (white-plastic casing one) and my brother has an old 2006 MacbookPro so I can compare. With those two older Apples iGetter starts receiving data in less than 8 seconds after I click Start, while my brand-new Macbook Pro can take up to 15-20 seconds, sometimes it doesn't even start at all and I have to re-click the start button. But once the download actually starts (on my new MacBook Pro), it downloads like normal, it doesn't stop and the speed is also as good as I can get. Strange huh? Hence, like a car that has to be pushed before the engine starts.
I also tried 'speed testing' from a website with all 3 laptops. On my old MacBook and my brother's MacBook pro, once I click 'begin test' it takes only a couple of seconds of 'ping' before the download/upload speed measurements start, but with my new MacBook Pro (just like with iGetter) it takes up to almost a minute before the measurements start, sometimes it won't start at all and I have to re-start the test.
Well, thanks for reading. And hope you can help me shed some light into this. Because it is really preventing me from really enjoying my new MacBook Pro. And if this is most likely a hardware problem, I'd better get back to the store and try to get it replace or something while it's only been 5 days. *cheers*

Hey guys.. Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, I bought the MacBook in Indonesia where there are no such thing as an AppleCare. The only option is to leave the Apple product to one of the 'Authorized Apple care centre' and have whoever do whatever to it without guarantee of success. As for returning it and getting a brand new one, I also don't know if there is such a deal here, but that's actually a good idea, will try to go to the store tomorrow. Although, I'm worried that the problem might be with OSX Lion or something and getting a new one won't help.
mark75090, I've tried resetting the router when I first noticed te problem, didn't work though. I've checked my new MacBook's wi-fi (option+click wifi bar) and it says 'PHY Mode: 802.11g', so does my MacBook and the old MacBook Pro. I don't know what those mean though, and I don't know whether or not my router is an N., can you tell me more please.. I have tried with the other two turned off, and only the new MacBook using the wi-fi but the problem persists. I have also tried connecting directly to the router, but as I described, the problem is too subtle for me to notice the difference.
Also, if I create a brand new Wi-Fi connection in network preferences and connect to my router through the new Wi-Fi profile, the problem seems to be gone for an hour or so, then it always comes back though. I have also just finally installed 10.7.4, but it doesn't help either.

Wifi problems still exists?

I sold my gs60 that had an 870m back in january mainly because i couldnt bare the wifi problem. I really loved the laptop and everything about it but everytime my laptop overheated the wifi would drop from 100mb to 1mb or less at times, monday im thinking of buying a new msi laptop and im wondering if these models that are currently being sold on amazon and etc still have the wifi problem or has it been fixed?
And trust me, i read the forums, i read the guides and im pretty decent with computers/software and etc, i uninstalled, reinstalled, updated it, changes adv. settings and even though it improves certain things the problem was still there. So does it still exist?
Or should i just buy a USB wifi?

This problem only occurs in earlier patches of Intel WiFi card of GS60 2Px (8xx series of NVIDIA graphic cards) and not every unit was affected.
If you don't want to take this risk, I'll suggest you buy GS60 2Qx (9xx series of NVIDIA graphic cards).
USB WiFi is a good idea. It certainly has a better signal comparing to the WiFi embedded in the body of the laptop.

Macbook pro 15 inch wifi problem (late 2011)

Hello,
Here I write a little desperate with this problem that I have on the MacBook Pro (late 2011) with WIFI .
For several months ago, when I power on the MBP is all apparently normal , spend a few minutes and I lose the WIFI , the icon still comes out as "connected " but no WIRELESS signal , I turned off the WIFI, but, when I try to change back to turn ON, the icon of WIFI still OFF ( the inverted triangle ) . Restarting the MBP and still the problem no signal and appears as disabled , delete PRAM several times until finally everything works again , spend some time and again the same thing sometimes is fine for several hours, go out to eat and return and again the same thing, the worst was when I saw the message "Hardware not found" and "X " where the icon goes WIFI . I rebooted several times and not managed , this was the "hardware not found" message. Some time ago I went something like , when Lion had and read that resetting the PRAM and managed , never came out , but now even that it manages , and it is becoming more common , I thought it was the OS ( MacOSX Mavericks ) so I reinstalled (I'm not used Time Machine, I install all again ), this work the lasted several days without fail, until she passed again, I'm out of WiFi, when I see no WIFI signal in the list , restart me WIFI goes off and I can not change , restart it goes back to " hardware not found" and so on.
Now desperate for this, I opened the MBP , disconnected the cables from the Airport card and reconnected with care and making sure you are all well , turned on the MBP again and works!!, I lasted two weeks , then I thought it was that. But again the whole problem again.
Already investigating more online and I found some details from other users
1 / Both WIFI and Bluetooth are on the same card ( the q disconnected and reconnected )
2 / If the card was wrong , losing the WIFI Bluetooth should lose , but I tried Bluetooth and has no problems
3 / Reported that resetting PRAM or SMC but still, in my case, does not work.
Now all I have left to rule is the WIFI antenna that is located ( if I remember correctly ) for the bottom of the screen, and according to several users this tends to fail from constant use to close or open the MBP (or either to cover or uncover ) , and sometimes it just heats and heats close to this area .
Has anyone had a similar problem? My MBP turns 2 only on March 7, 2014 , I can not believe all that cost me and now is about to fail , I have a Sony VAIO Core 2 Duo for about 5 years (or more) ago and is still running and has been dropped many times and nothing has ever happened : (
Additional data on my MBP ,
Several months ago ( long before the problem with the WIFI) I changed the hard drive for an SSD ( 250GB Corsair Neutron X ) .
There is a problem that often makes me too, is that when you close the MBP ( to open ) , and open it back again ( out of sleep) the following happens :
1 / It instantly freezes when waking from sleep and I have a long wait to enter the password.
2 / When you leave idle normal let me put the password, but just when giving ENTER freezes
3 / Out of sleep, let me put the key, ENTER and when I load the desktop freezes
Another problem :
This only happened to me a few times , as I mentioned , my MBP is formatted ( have Mavericks ) before formatted (clean install without time machine) , I closed the MBP ( I sent to sleep) and the open the screen was black , but as with bright, and not leave the state, turned off force ( pressing the button) , start the MBP again (power on) charged normal gray screen with apple but with a fairly low brightness, spent a few seconds and turned the brightness to normal and started normally .
I hope some can help me with these problems.
PD : I'm from Peru , if anyone knows a trusted service that please let me know .
Thank you very much .

Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.

How come they still haven't fixed the ios 6 wifi problem on ios 6.0.1 making me mad -.-

I know apple or the tech support doesn't read this but come on tell them to fix the wifi problem that started from ios 6 and still continuing to ios 6.0.1. I already gave them another feedback like 5 days ago. I really don't want to reconnect to my wifi everytime. I already did everything possibly to fix my wifi problem. I know its IOS 6.0.1 because it started with ios 6 and still not fixed by apple update to 6.0.1.
I have a very limit data plan of 300 MB on at&t and I don't want to go over so I rely on my wifi most of the time.

Maybe you just lucked out but both my devices running ios 6.0.1 have wifi problems shutting of at random times during sleep. I know you guys will say when its plugged in it doesn't lose wifi true but I never remember having this problem in the previous ios verison from ios 4 to 5(On my Iphone 4, and from my Iphone 4s from IOS 5) until I updated both devices to ios 6 or even when I had a iTouch 3rd gen long time ago I never remember it shutting of my wifi. I am telling you this never happened before IOS 6 where I need to leave it plugged in just to have my wifi during wake up.

I thought I believed my iPhone 4 with iOS5.0 would not disconnect during sleep mode. However, I was wrong. What I did was to ping the IP addresses on my iPhone 4 (iOS5) and iPhone 5 (iOS 6 then, and iOS6.0.1 now) when they were in sleep mode. Very true that there were timed-out on both devices. Once I woke them up, ping went thru. I did a scan on my home network using my iPad while the other 2 phones were in sleep mode, I was not able to see them.
I thought my iPhone4 did not disconnect too. But again, I think the reconnecting to wifi on iOS 5 is SO MUCH quicker than on iOS6 so user would think there was never a disconnect.

Wifi problem after.4.3 update on xperia z

Hi all,
After updating my Xperia Z (C6603) to build number 10.4.1.B.0.101 I've been having connection issues with every Wi-Fi network.
I've checked the forum but I only found problems about people having Wi-Fi issues with their smartwatch, I do not own a smart watch this is just a general networking issues.
Here's the problem in detail:
When having no Wi-Fi switched on while booting the phone the phone will start without any issues, I will receive my 3G/4G signal and I can browse, e-mail, everything.
Once I switch on Wi-Fi it will start connecting to previously stored Wi-Fi access points but will not connect. Eventually it says that there was a problem with connecting, even though this will take several minutes.
I can go into the Wi-Fi settings, select a different Wi-Fi network (if it is in range) and press connect, however the settings app will freeze at that point and eventually I'll get a notification that the settings app has stopped working.
I have found a "work-around": I switch the Wi-Fi to on, power off the phone and power on again. Now the Wi-Fi connection immediately powers on without an issue once the phone has completely booted, it also will connect to the default Wi-Fi connection that is in range. A different issue appears however once I move out of Wi-Fi range, it will no longer pick up my 3G/4G signal. It is also impossible to switch off Wi-Fi or switch Wi-Fi network connections without rebooting the phone.
As I said before this happened to me after updating to version 10.4.1.B.0.101 after having it received through OTA update. I do not have root access on my phone either so this can't be it.
Is there anyone experiencing the same issues? Is this somehow related to the issues people are experiencing with their smart watch connections (as seen in this topic: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Software-Updates/wifi-problem-after-4-3-update-on-xperia-z/td-p/490591...
If there's anyone who is experiencing the same issues, or has found a fix for this I'd gladly hear from you.
Regards,
Danny
