    realtek rtl8822be 802.11ac pcie adapter driver

    hi,

    i have hp pavilion 15-bc513tx --> windows 10 is preinstalled. i have created dual boot with windows 2016 server.

    while windows 10 detects both NICs. 1} REALTEK LAN Adapter &

    2} REALTEK WIFI Adapter(Realtek RTL8822BE 802.11ac pcie adapter).

    but windows 2016 can only detects LAN Adapter, It can NOT detect REALTEK WIFI Adapter.

    i have enabled --> server manager --> Add Roles/Feature --> Features --> WLan Adapter but it yet could NOT detect REALTEK WIFI Adapter.

    i have left no stone unturned but could Not find "Realtek RTL8822Be 802.11ac pcie adapter".

    kindly request ASAP.

    thanking in advance.
     
  3. Ethernet connection via Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller 'hidden' and 'disabled' in Windows 10

    My ethernet connection stopped working on Windows 10 abruptly. Dell laptop with Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller. Device Manager hides the network adapter automatically. Have to click on 'view hidden devices' to see it. Device is disabled and the 'enable
    device' option is deactivated. I'm able to connect to internet through WiFi. Only the ethernet cable is not being detected.

  4. Realtek PCIe 5GbE Ethernet Adapter Detected but No Link / No Lights

    Ethernet Link Speed at 10 Mbps

    • The light coming from the Ethernet port is blinking yellow
    • On my mother board box it says its a '10/100/1000 Mbps Gaming LAN'
    • The driver I am using is Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller (Driver version: 10.54.1111.2021). This is what automatically installed when I uninstalled the driver and restarted
