That driver would be included in the chipset drivers

You only obtain drivers for a laptop from the maker and no where else

Win7 went out of support some years ago so no MS Updates of any type

Realtek wifi driver
Hello u/PapaBabassaa , I just ran into the same BSOD a few minutes ago. To fix it, I updated my drivers to the latest version available provided by my motherboard manufacturer. ( https://www.gigabyte.com/fr/Motherboard/Z790-GAMING-X-AX-rev-2x/support#support-dl-driver-wlanbt ) I advise you to check what motherboard is in your laptop and check their website for driver update. Realtek doesn't distribute drivers directly, only through the product vendors and Windows will most probably show that your driver is already up to date when it isn't. I hope you get this fixed!

Can someone please tell me where to download the drivers for the realtek 8852CE wifi card? I'm having wifi issues and I'm sure it's due to this card but before replacing it with an intel one I want to make sure it's not just an outdated driver.

I couldn't find anything on realtek's shitty website and the lenovo scan says all my stuff is up to date, but this thing is still using 2023 wifi drivers and there's gotta be something newer by now.

For context I have a legion 7i gen 9 and when playing rocket league or any online game, every 15 minutes I will either disconnect or get a 2 minute long lag spike where my ping goes up to 2000 and everything starts teleporting. I know it's not my wifi because I have a 2 month old wifi 6 router with 400mbps speeds that all my other devices use perfectly.

Not really an AMD issue. It's a Windows issue. (Google's) AI Overview "IRQL driver not less or equal, rtwlane602.sys" means that your computer encountered a critical error where the driver file "rtwlane602.sys" (usually related to a network adapter) attempted to access memory at a priority level (Interrupt Request Level - IRQL) that is too high for the operation it was trying to perform, causing a system crash. What does this error mean? Driver issue: The primary culprit is a problem with the "rtwlane602.sys" driver itself, which could be outdated, corrupted, or incompatible with your current system configuration. Memory access violation: When a driver tries to access memory at a high IRQL while the system is performing other critical tasks, it can lead to this error. What to do: Update drivers: Check for Windows updates: Go to your Windows settings and check for available updates, particularly driver updates. Update network adapter driver: Navigate to your device manager, find your network adapter, right-click, select "Update driver", and choose to search automatically for updated driver software. Reinstall drivers: Uninstall and reinstall: In Device Manager, uninstall the network adapter driver, then restart your computer to let Windows automatically reinstall it. Check for hardware issues: Hardware compatibility: Ensure your network adapter is compatible with your system and properly installed. Hardware failure: In rare cases, a failing network adapter could be the cause. System restore: Roll back to a previous state: If the problem started recently, try restoring your system to a previous point where your network adapter was functioning properly. Important points: Blue Screen of Death (BSOD): This error often manifests as a BSOD with the error code "0x000000D1". Troubleshooting tools: If the issue persists, consider using advanced system tools like a system file checker or a driver updater to diagnose and repair potential problems.

I agree that non-working Realtek drivers need to be brought to the attention of Microsoft. In relation to this particular driver, no it's not just that motherboard. It's pretty much any board using the increasingly common Realtek 8111C PCI-E gigabit controller. Even worse is the situation in Vista where the basic install loads a non-working driver. It all becomes a big issue when attempting to do a network restore or a Windows Home Server network PC restore. It says it works, but it all falls over without really giving you a clue that the non working LAN driver is actually the cause.

Personally, I never install drivers from the Windows update site - it nearly always leads to grief. However, the AIK's for both Vista & Win 7 are readily available. It's very worthwhile downloading them and learning the ropes on upgrading LAN, SATA & RAID controllers in the boot.wim images for Vista & Win 7 so that the latest drivers are installed to start with. It's doable for WHS too, but with WHS you have to remember to update both the 2003 drivers with N-Lite as well as the boot.wim image with Vista drivers.

Anyway, just wanted to add my support to this issue - better to not include drivers than to include drivers that don't work.

Same issue here. I installed the latest drivers via Windows Update. They didn't work. I simply used the "rollback driver" opton from the properties menu of the network adapter and was back on the internet. I notice that me and you have the exact same motherboard, the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P. Maybe its only a problem on this motherboard? Hope we some more people report here if they have the same problem.

Realtek LAN Drivers on Windows 7 - Eclipse Community
January 16, 2024 - I bought a cheap 2.5 GbE card off of Amazon which claims to work with 98 through 11, and it worked! Until I had an issue with a game, so I went to Windows 10, but now I am back on 7 and after going to the Realtek website looking for my LAN drivers, it appears that they are no longer there for Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 which I know they were before.

I found a workaround that appears to be working for us which was the first reply by Brian Whelton

Windows 1709 update Broke my 802.11x wifi connection Networking
Hi all, thanks for chiming in I noticed the Windows Update Assistant had somehow got on to my Enterprise version of Windows and was asking my users to update to the 1709 version of Windows 10. I use Wsus for updates and had turned the 1709 update off. As the disruption of 1-2h install time was too long. The plan was to get all the laptops in test it and then update it for them. After the Win 10 1709 update was installed (only on a few machines so far) through the windows update assistant I saw…

The disabling the virtual WiFi adapter appears to be working so far. Awaiting to get it tested as more laptops come back.

This is one of the most bizarre issues I have come across and to date, I have found no workaround or fix.

Mainly HP laptops with Realtek wireless network adapters, try to connect to the company network (we have 2 one for setup of a software that helps connect to the main network and means that the user should have no issues connecting after a password change as it should auto update the password. Both of these networks fail to connect

Here is the really strange thing, we probably have around 4000 users that use their laptops/phones etc on WiFi but around 1-2% cannot connect their laptops to the WiFi due to this issue, when you try to connect and during the connection process it disables the network adapter and brings it back online and then states it cannot connect to this network.

What I have discovered so far:

Seems to be Realtek Wireless adapters of various versions and driver versions.

it is mostly apparent on Windows 10 Update 1803 but also been experiencing it on windows 8.1. However, we have had some laptops with exactly the same specs and hardware and OS versions that connects fine

The connection doesn’t get as far as the authentication server so there are no log files saved on it to say why it is not managing to connect.

A USB wireless adapter on the laptops connects with no issue at all.

The laptops also can connect to networks that have WPA2-Personal encryption.

What we have tried:

Disabling and re-enabling the network adapter, in network settings in control panel, uninstalling the network adapter and reinstalling it in device manager, updating drivers, rolling back to previous versions of drivers, checking for any outstanding windows updates using an ethernet connection.

Any help on what to try would be extremely welcome.
