Windows 10: Cannot see the corresponding COM PORTs for SIM8200EA-M2 5G HAT Waveshare

I can communicate with the 5G module from a Raspberry Pi running the latest Raspberry Pi OS via the serial interface without any issues. However, when I attempted the same on my Windows 11 laptop, I encountered problems. Despite installing the required Windows driver, the 5G module does not appear in the Device Manager list.As a first troubleshooting step, I added the legacy driver for COM ports. This allowed me to see a COM port section, but unfortunately, no additional devices were detected. I then tried several solutions, including plugging and unplugging the 5G module, powering it on and o

Cannot connect to 5g

Hi I'm Peter an independent advisor, if your trying to connect to 5g then you've got a router and network adapter that supports 5g (ie a virgin media router)? Qualcomm is your wireless network card....realtek is your ethernet adapter (physical network
port) for wired networks. If you want to connect to 5g open your wireless network available list and you should see the same SSID as 2g and one as 5g...just click on the 5g one.

 

old desktop internet not working cant connect to 5g

Hello，Mason Bass

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft community.



Understand that your computer is currently unable to access the 5G network.



Depending on your current situation, there are two different possibilities for this issue.



. Your computer recognizes the 5G network but is unable to link to the 5G network.

• Please go to your computer manufacturer's official website first to download the corresponding wireless card driver, override and install it into your system, reboot the device and check again if you can link to the network.
  
• The router may block your current device from accessing the internet, you can check it yourself if you have access to the router's backend, or just reset the router back to its initial state. Depending on the brand and model of the router, there are different ways to reset and set the router's background options, and you will need to check the official website of the router brand to confirm the specific operation.
  

Ⅱ. Your computer does not recognize the 5G network.

• It may be because your current wireless card module does not support 5G band.
  
• It is also possible that the current driver settings do not recognize the 5G band. Right-click on the "Start" icon, select "Device Manager", expand the "Network Adapters" list, and right-click on the driver of your wireless card. Wireless card driver select "Properties", click the "Advanced" tab, and then according to the difference between your motherboard manufacturer brand model may be set up in different locations, you can check whether it can be set to support the 5G band.
  

After you refer to the above steps, you can share some information in this thread and I will answer your questions further. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

Intel to Bring 5G to Mobile PCs by 2019

Today, Intel announced it is collaborating with Dell, HP, Lenovo and Microsoft to bring 5G connectivity to Windows PCs with Intel XMM 8000 series commercial 5G modems. Intel expects the first high-performing 5G-connected PCs to surface in the market in the second half of 2019.

Mobile World Congress (MWC) attendees will get a first sneak peek at a concept 5G-connected PC - a detachable 2 in 1 - connected by an early 5G modem and powered by 8th Generation Intel Core i5 processors. At MWC, Intel will showcase the power of 5G on a PC by livestreaming video over the 5G network. This concept is one of many stepping stones for moving the industry forward in what's possible for 5G-enabled PCs.

5G is not just another generation of wireless connectivity. It promises new opportunities for technology innovation across the computing and connectivity landscape from the cloud to the network and the client.





The PC is a central hub for processing incredible amounts of data. 5G is coming. Not only will it bring a substantial amount of data needing processing but also new experiences for PC owners. Imagine immersing in untethered VR from anywhere in the world, or downloading a 250 megabyte file in seconds from a parking lot. Or imagine being able to continue participating in a multiplayer game as you ride in an autonomous vehicle on the way to class. Radically different. This is just a sampling of the experiences 5G will reimagine for the mobile PC. As this transformation of data continues, it's critical for PCs to be ready with 5G.


In addition to 5G:
At MWC, Intel will also showcase the latest steps it has taken to build toward a more connected future with:

• 11ax, the next big thing in Wi-Fi. A thin PC with 802.11ax Wi-Fi will be on display at the Intel's booth in Hall 3 at Stand 3E31. 802.11ax builds enhanced levels of manageability and network efficiency, and will be a critical part of the connected future with 5G.
• eSIM functionality will be on display at Intel's booth in Hall 3 at Stand 3E31. As of September 2017, all of Intel's modem solutions for PCs support eSIM in enterprise and consumer segments. eSIM is an essential feature for connected PCs, and Intel plans to continue offering it going forward. Intel continues to work across the ecosystem to ensure our end customers enjoy seamless out-of-the-box experiences.

Intel is investing deeply across its wireless portfolio and partners to bring 5G-connected mobile PCs to market, with benefits for users, like high-quality video on-the-go, high-end gaming, and seamless connections as users traverse Wi-Fi and cellular networks. With 5G's critical speeds and capacity, Intel will help to open the door to new experiences hardly imaginable today, and make connecting online from anywhere, anytime the norm.
