Que é Killer Wireless 1535?
Desenvolvido por Rivet Technologies e posteriormente comprado por Intel, Killer Wireless 1535 é unha WLAN ou tarxeta de rede desenvolvida para sistemas orientados a xogos. A lista de tarxetas Killer Wireless ten unha longa lista de funcións, incluíndo Bluetooth 4.1 xunto co soporte de banda dual para 2,4 GHz e 5 GHz.
Baseado nun chip Qualcomm, o Killer Wireless usa a tecnoloxía ExtremeRange para conseguir unha ampla gama de conexións, unha perda mínima de paquetes e unha latencia mínima ao xogar xogos multixogador.
Por que Killer Wireless está a causar problemas co controlador no meu PC?
Os problemas con Killer Wireless non son novos. Durante os últimos anos, estivo a causar problemas a varios usuarios en Windows 10, e o cambio a Windows 11 parece empeorar as cousas. Segundo o sitio web de Killer Wireless, os seus controladores non eran compatibles con Windows 11 cando se lanzou, o que provocou problemas de controladores para moitos usuarios que cambiaron a Windows 11.
A serie tamén se enfrontou a un soporte limitado unha vez que foi comprada por Intel e as páxinas de soporte iniciais que detallaban as correccións foron eliminadas do sitio por completo.
Microsoft tamén mencionou que podería deberse a un erro de rede en Windows 11 que afectou a UDP. Os controladores obsoletos e a ausencia de parches de compatibilidade entre o software Killer Wireless e Windows 11 poderían ter como resultado importantes problemas de controlador.
Como solucionar problemas co controlador Killer Wireless 1535
Aquí tes unha lista de correccións que se sabe que solucionan os problemas do controlador Killer Wireless 1535 na maioría dos sistemas. Recomendámosche que comeces coas primeiras correccións coñecidas e percorras a lista ata que consigas que a wifi funcione de novo no teu dispositivo. Imos comezar.
Método #01: Desactivar a priorización
Se podes acceder ao Killer Wireless Control Center, esta é a solución recomendada para ti. A priorización da wifi é unha función do Killer Wireless Control Center que utiliza o motor de priorización de Intel para identificar as solicitudes de rede en curso e priorizalas segundo as túas necesidades e requisitos actuais. Isto axuda ao teu adaptador de rede a satisfacer automaticamente as túas necesidades de conexión de xogos multixogador primeiro e a abordar as tarefas de rede en segundo plano máis tarde.
Non obstante, este motor de priorización fai máis mal que ben. Con controladores desactualizados e soporte limitado, a maioría das tarxetas de rede Killer parecen ter problemas con esta función en Windows 11. Por iso, recomendamos desactivar o mesmo e reiniciar o sistema o máis pronto posible. Se tes un portátil para xogos comprado hai uns anos, é probable que esta sexa a causa dos teus problemas con controladores sen fíos.
Inicie o Centro de control sen fíos Killer e simplemente desactive o selector de "Motor de prioridades" no widget Configuración rápida. Tamén podes desactivar o mesmo facendo clic en Prioritization Engine na parte superior. Unha vez desactivado, reinicia o teu sistema e a wifi debería estar a funcionar de novo no teu sistema.
Método #02: seleccione manualmente un controlador diferente para o seu adaptador de rede
Esta é a seguinte corrección recomendada, especialmente se tes problemas de controladores co teu adaptador de rede sen fíos Killer e o controlador falla no xestor de dispositivos. Microsoft adoita estar atento aos seus usuarios e dispón de funcións integradas que poden axudarche a revertir os cambios que poidan romper funcións do teu sistema.
Esta é unha das razóns polas que non só podes revertir as actualizacións do controlador, senón tamén seleccionar un controlador diferente cando se trata de compoñentes como o teu adaptador de rede e o adaptador Bluetooth. Use a guía a continuación para seleccionar manualmente un controlador diferente para o seu adaptador de rede sen fíos Killer. Imos comezar.
Preme Windows + X
no teu teclado e selecciona "Xestor de dispositivos".
Busca o teu adaptador de rede sen fíos Killer en "Adaptadores de rede" e fai clic e selecciónao. Preme Alt + Enter
no teu teclado para abrir a xanela Propiedades.
Cambia á pestana "Controlador" facendo clic na mesma na parte superior.
Agora fai clic en "Actualizar controlador".
Fai clic en "Buscar controladores no meu ordenador".
Agora fai clic en "Déixeme escoller dunha lista de controladores dispoñibles no meu ordenador".
Fai clic e selecciona un novo controlador da lista. Recomendámoslle encarecidamente que intente os controladores de Qualcomm xa que parecen solucionar os problemas de wifi na maioría dos sistemas. Non obstante, podes probalos todos ata atopar o que mellor che funcione.
Fai clic en "Seguinte" unha vez que remates.
Fai clic en "Pechar" unha vez que remates.
Agora pediráselle que reinicie o seu sistema, prema en "Si" para reiniciar o seu PC.
Unha vez que se reinicie o PC, tenta conectarse de novo a unha rede. Na maioría dos casos, o seu adaptador de rede sen fíos de Killer debería estar agora en funcionamento de novo segundo o previsto no seu sistema.

Method #08: Force Remove and Reinstall your drivers
Windows tends to hold and keep basic .inf files for components hidden in the background even if you uninstall them from the device manager. These driver files are used to provide basic functionality when you have no driver files installed or available for your system.
However, if you haven’t cleared your Driver Store in a while then you could have multiple Killer Wireless network adapter drivers on your system which could be conflicting in the background. As a last resort, we will now force remove them from your system, reset the CMOS battery and then install the latest Killer Wireless Network Adapter drivers currently available for your system. Follow the guide below to get you started.
What you need
You will need to make sure that your PC meets the following criteria before proceeding with the guide below as you will use the ability to connect to a wireless network once we force remove all drivers from your system.
- An Ethernet connection: This is the recommended option in case you have a LAN cable lying around. This way you can use the internet to get the latest available network drivers for your system.
- Latest Driver files for your Killer Wireless Network Adapter: You will need offline driver files and installation packages for your system if you do not have an Ethernet cable. We recommend you download the same from your OEM beforehand before proceeding with this guide.
- DriverStoreExplorer: This is a community-built tool that allows you to force remove .inf files from your system. We will be using this to remove all your network adapter drivers.
Force Remove Drivers
Visit the link above and download the latest archive for DriverStoreExplorer linked on the page.
