asus pce ac68 utility keeps re initializing

It makes no difference if I follow those steps before or after rebooting. I then see the following files at the last step. I open the 'UT_PCE_AC68_2143' file, then click 'UT_PCE_AC68_v2143' inside it.

The 'Intel(R) Ethernet Connection 1217-LM' also gives me a check box option to 'Delete the Driver Software for this Device'. I click 'Uninstall this Device' for each one. Uninstalling makes them disappear, but they all come back after rebooting. From what I can tell, it is stable, finally resolving this issue for good.The following is what I see under Network Adapters.

Windows Update now automatically serves an updated Broadcom driver, version 7.77.113.0, for this device. Other power-saving options like Minimum Power Consumption in the driver I generally keep off, as my media storage connection setup has proven less fickle that way. Toggling off PCI-E Link State Power Management in Windows' Power Options could also generally help with keeping a stable connection. I've had it running for a while now and it also appears to be stable so far.Īdditionally, someone in the thread linked above also recommends disabling Bluetooth Collaboration in the advanced driver settings, as well as a registry change which will help with the 'BCM42RLY service failing to start' thing you also see in the event log.

Other than that, if you're up for it, try the newest Broadcom package from Station-Drivers. After a lot of googling, I've found that the newest ASUS 2.1.1.4/.5 driver package (7.35.315.0 is the Broadcom chipset driver version) is what is causing it. If you're like me and have this Wi-Fi card, then you might have noticed random BSODs, NetworkUXBroker crashes leading to system freezes on Wi-Fi channel changes, disconnects, 'WLAN Extensibility has stopped' flooding the event log etc.
