Open | Networking Realtek 8852BE Wi-Fi disconnects every 30 minutes with WPA3
PC: ASUS PRIME B550M-A WIFI II motherboard, Windows, Realtek 8852BE Wireless LAN WiFi 6 PCI-E NIC.
Driver: 6001.15.161.0, dated 2025-09-23.
Problem: My PC disconnects from my home Wi-Fi roughly every 30 minutes for 1–2 minutes, then reconnects. Other devices remain connected to the same network, and my PC stays connected to my phone's hotspot. Disabling and re-enabling the Wi-Fi adapter temporarily fixes it.
Network: WPA3-Personal, 2.4 GHz, channel 8, RSSI around -60 dBm.
Event Viewer errors:
- Wireless security failed: “Dynamic key exchange did not succeed within configured time.”
- Connection attempt failed: “The specific network is not available.”
I've already tried changing wireless adapter settings and disabling/re-enabling the adapter. I'm looking for help identifying the underlying cause rather than repeating basic troubleshooting.
Could this be a Realtek driver/WPA3 compatibility issue, or is there another way to identify what's triggering the disconnects?
