Intel® Wireless Bluetooth® is recommended for end-users, including home users and business customers with Intel Wireless Bluetooth® technology. Take great care when plugging and unplugging the computer charger cord. Just yanking it out can loosen the connections and make it eventually not work. Another tip to keep your laptop charger lasting longer is to keep it out of extreme heating conditions, leaving it in a car on an extremely hot or cold day. This can damage its effectiveness to supply your laptop with power efficiently. Avoid rough surfaces with the laptop adapter cord that could tear or rub off the exterior protective cord which protects the internal wires. If wires become exposed, it is time to throw away the charger as it could become a fire hazard. Most products support only 64-bit version of Windows® 10 and Windows 11*. See Supported Windows Operating Systems for Intel® Wireless Products for details. The driver has not been validated/customized for the configuration (PC/laptop + Wireless card + Operating System)

This is since the installation or use of Intel® Wireless Adapters is subject to country-specific legal regulations. When an end-user installs a wireless card on a system that did not come with it from the factory, this is what we call " Wireless Integration" and it may cause connection issues or software-hardware errors.

Try to consider an upgrade if you have an old router. This is to give you an up-to-date technology.A few weeks ago I opened up my laptop to clean it thoroughly which meant I had to disconnect the antenna cables. (Used esd wrist strap and all other precautions)(only disconnected the antenna cables from the card, never unseated the card itself.
