Wireless network issues while on campus; specific to HP EliteBook model laptops

Issue

Some HP laptops are experiencing issues with the wireless network on campus. Symptoms include Wi-Fi connectivity loss, including freezing or disconnection from Zoom meetings. 

Resolution

This issue can be resolved by updating the wireless driver. This should be completed by installing the software via Software Center. 

  • Open Software Center
  • Search for the software with a name that begins with "Intel Wireless
    • Example: “HP EliteBook 830 840 850 G7 & G8 Intel Wireless LAN Adapter Driver 22.110.1.1”
  • If your computer is eligible for the update, the search result will show the update. 
    • If you see the update, click on the software title, then select “Install”.
    • If you do not see the update, it is likely that we do not have software available for your model laptop. Please contact your campus technician if you are experiencing an issue with your computer.
