Intel's new Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers improve connectivity, removes driver for one card

Better connectivity and performance, but also no more drivers for the discontinued AX200 network card.

If your computer has an Intel network card inside, it may be time to download a new Wi-Fi and Bluetooth driver. Intel has released a pair of fresh network drivers with performance and connectivity improvements for supported network cards.

Starting with the Wi-Fi driver, version 24.30.1 is now available for download from the official website. The changelog for the update does not contain much, and the only meaningful update is improved stability and connectivity performance. Additionally, there are regulatory updates for Oman, Brazil, and Pakistan and "functional and security updates" and "other minor issues addressed which will impact performance, stability, or vendor-specific functionality."

The update also delivers one important change for users with the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 network adapter. Starting with version 24.30.1, the package no longer includes drivers for the now-discontinued Intel AX200 adapter.

Intel Bluetooth driver 24.30.1 has no specific changes, and the release notes only say that the driver "has been updated to include functional updates."

You can download the latest Intel Wi-Fi driver from the official website here and Bluetooth driver here. Supported platforms include 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. The driver is compatible with the following network cards:
