[Intel AX1xx/AX2xx/AX4xx/AX16xx/BE2xx/BE17xx] Intel Modded Wi-Fi Driver with Intel® Killer™ Features

[THEBOSS619]

good day. I would like to express my gratitude to THEBOSS619. I installed the drivers for my intel wi fi be200 network card! 6 ghz frequency works great! but I have a question, does your wonderful driver work with MLO technology? this is aggregation of 5+6 ghz frequencies! thank you.

Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate your support and helpand forgive me for my late replies
MLO tech. is supported for Wi-Fi 7 cards which in your case is BE200, but there's alot of factors goes in to make it work properly, You need a supported router and proper settings + Microsoft tends to enable or disable this MLO feature as they do the A/B testings phases and living in a regions/country that allows those kind of features.

I wonder why Intel limits its Wi-Fi network cards to 6 GHz? For what purpose do they do this? What is the essence of limiting these high-speed data transfer technologies? These technologies are for accelerating the transfer of information.... why should Western countries have fast technologies, and Eastern countries have outdated and slow data transfer speeds? Do I understand this correctly?

Unfortunately, the understanding of justice and democracy in the world is not based on people, but on self-interest and wherever there is more profit. WiFi 6E, 7 is officially approved in only 3 countries - DE, NO, HR (Germany, Norway and Croatia). I know it is not open everywhere in the US, Canada, and even there it is partial. I know 6 GHz has recently been open around Brazil, France.
Even in our Istanbul, only 5G phone signals are open at the airport....It will probably take 2026 for it to be open in Turkey. turkey is supposedly both west and east... We either find a solution or we wait, I hope that in the future, technology will be human-oriented without discrimination; fair without discrimination of religion, language, race, nationality... I hope...

I wish all those limited stuff just disappears and remove those arbitrary useless restrictions... we buy stuff expecting certain futures to be instantly available to us only to find out later that due to region/countries bla bla bla restriction is being forcibly imposed without any kind of warning or a hint about those kind of region/countries bla bla bla restriction.

Even Intel AX210 and upwards supports MLO but it's only on HW level and they are locked or turned off through driver level. I'm still trying to bypass this country/region locking features through driver by finding and modifying registry keys, my main problem isn't solving this issue.. my main problem is my spare time is limited to find out more about it and test out those experimental keys

Last time I tried to test keys it crashed my whole OS and I had to restore my OS through macrium backup images to restore my OS so it's two problem... time consuming and limited spare time

I am no expert, but couldn't you test these in a virtual environment and incur less delay with crashes?

I'm sorry to hear about your computer... it's really frustrating... I understand very well... thank you for the time you spare for us.

Thanks for suggestions but Done that already and it didn't crash on VM, hence even on Clean Install Windows 11 24H2 with nothing else installed except using the experimental keys.. it would BSOD with an error pointing to Wi-Fi .sys file driver with The "SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED" error so... virtual environment doesn't really actually represent real world scenarios or real world use cases

I'm sorry to hear about your computer... it's really frustrating... I understand very well... thank you for the time you spare for us.

I'm thankful for your kind words and your support. I won't give up and I will continue researching about this, there are function on driver level about this region locked crap, I just need to figure out the right keys and the right combination of settings to make it work without blue screens or BSODs

.I have not only a be200 network card but also an expensive router with MLO technology! If necessary, I can test the drivers that THEBOSS619 will make for myself. Thank you

The basis for running a VM (Virtual Machine) is to prevent the environment from collapsing due to drivers, apps, etc.
Therefore, it is essential to check operation in a non-VM environment.
Therefore, it is unavoidable to be in a state where you are constantly on the edge of danger.

Notice:- The newer release of 3.1624.1204.0 version of Killer Intelligence Center got patched

• I guess I have woken up Intel inner evil...

Intel patched the workaround that I have made to make Killer Intelligence Center to work on non-Killer Wi-Fi chip and with the new version of Intel Killer Software update from Microsoft Store, they no longer show you the UI if you don't have a Killer Wi-Fi chip but don't worry... I am working on making sure that the services like (.exe, .dll, etc...) will get updated along with Killer drivers as well like (.sys, .dat, etc...) will be bundled and used so you aren't missing anything!

Here's some picture proof that MS Store updated the killer app once the new driver gets installed and Intel are blocking the UI for non-Killer Wi-Fi chip although the services/drivers are still working/functioning/running normally.

Obviously on the next Intel Killer Intelligence Center releases I must keep the driver versioning the same to prevent MS Store from auto updating the app as when you update the app.. the UI no longer works! So I'll just simply update the services and killer main drivers along with changes and fixes being applied on future driver releases.

Expect a new Intel Killer Intelligence Center update soon on the incoming days from me with completely modded of version 3.1624.1204.0 driver so we can have best of the both worlds... having a working UI and enjoying the latest Intel officially update releases at the same time

This problem only affects the app UI, the Wi-Fi drivers will keep getting updates normally with the same officially versioning without issues.

New Update for Killer Intelligence Center AKA 3.1624.1204.0 Completely Modded.

Due to Intel patching the App UI that blocks Non-Killer Wi-Fi chip from ever showing UI. The app version will still display the older version but that's only the UI to prevent MS Store from Auto updating it to the patched App release .

Other files and drivers and services are all being updated to 3.1624.1204.0 without a single issue. You can even check the .exe killer related files individually which will show that they are using the latest file releases from Intel

Here's a picture for illustration about what I mean.

• Tag Name [Modded] means is using latest Intel Killer release update 3.1624.1204.0 except the UI will stay at 3.1624.1026.1 While the unmodded ones the whole thing is using the old 3.1624.1026.1.

Main post will be updated with this information so the new users knows the whole thing regarding Intel patching the App that prevents Non-Killer Wi-Fi users from showing UI.

Changelog:-

• Modified the setup files and script and how it calls files to setup properly.
• Updated the whole thing (except App UI) to latest Intel Killer release update 3.1624.1204.0
• The zip file will have a tag name [Modded] to differentiate between old vs new ones.

The new Intel Killer Intelligence Center can be downloaded from the main post on the attachment section! Enjoy

After installation, the driver fails to start properly and Device Manager displays a warning icon. The error message is:

Device PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7A70&SUBSYS_16521A56&REV_11\3&11583659&0&A3 had a problem starting.

I had previously tested an older version (around October 2024) that worked without issues, but with the update to version 23.110.0.5 of the modded driver, the card becomes unusable.

Could you please check if there are any adjustments or workarounds specifically for the AX1650i in this new release? I really appreciate all the hard work you put into updating and improving these drivers, and I'm looking forward to any guidance you can provide.

Thank you for your time and support!
