My laptop became completly unusable when downloading seomething, apart from the fact that the connection keeps droping every 15 20 min if let alone, If I try to play something or just watch something on youtube the internet drops every 1-2 mins. :mad:
Managed to fix it by changing again the wireless adaptor to the Intel 9260NGW (the one inside the laptop, I completly gave up on the Asus warranty as is nonexistent for me even that I have the Asus Premium Care bought...) and changing the channel width to 20Mhz Only. To do this you have to open device manager -> Network adapters ->right click on Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9260 160MHz -> Properties -> Advanced and change Channel width (Either 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz or both) to 20Mhz only, click okay and restart... this seems to have fixed the issue in my case as now I´ve been downloading and watching streams at the same time and there were no errors.

This is not possible on the original 8822CE as there are very limited options in the device manager -> Adaptor advanced properties. -

Alright, so after all this time I found a fix that works for me, after trying everything I found on the internet, after changing the Wi-Fi module, trying other operative systems and lots of other ¨solutions¨, the thing that did it for me was setting the ARMORY CRATE application to WINDOWS. I don´t understand how is this possible, but works, I also had lots of stuttering every then and now in certain games (GTA V, State of Decay...) that are also gone, which doesn´t make any sense since in Windows mode the fans never gets to full speed, but still games don´t throttle, while in turbo mode they do every few minutes, in Windows mode doesn´t. No more throttle and no more ¨No internet¨.
The throttle problem occurs on various other laptops with this processor, the CPU gets throttled every 2-3 minutes to 400Mhz for a few seconds and FPS drops to 1-2, only in certain games to me at least, but if you have an Asus laptop with the Armory Crate app you might want to try this, if it doesn´t work simply putting the profile to Windows Mode you may have to set in Windows´s own energy settings to set the Minimum CPU state to something like 50%.
Hope this helps other people too!
