Possible bootcamp wifi driver bug w/ 2016 MBP

[methus]

I can also only add to the 'broken' reports: Using the following equipment
- Boot Camp with Windows 10
- 2017 MacBook Pro 15" (MBP15)
- FritzBox 3370
- Logitech M590 mouse
I experience regular WLAN drops. The problems range from hefty lags (unplayable) and speed drops (no browsing possible) to entire connection loss (need to reconnect to my WiFi). The problems occur with other routers also. No problems under macOS. The problems tend to be stronger with
- low battery
- hot device
- many cables plugged in
though they explicitly also occur when none of these is present.

I was also not able to connect the mouse via bluetooth initially, where it was shown in a list but pairing ended in an error. Connection with the Unified Receiver worked flawlessly. However, this could be fixed by unpairing the mouse under macOS - now the pairing via Bluetooth worked under Windows. Two take-aways here:
- Maybe the Bluetooth problem is related to the WLAN problem, maybe not.
- Obviously macOS and Windows seem to have more connection then I would have assumed, since also deactivating Bluetooth under macOS results in deactivated Bluetooth under Windows.

I have no internet problems using a Huawei 4G stick.

Apple support says they do not feel responsible for issues under Windows. I think this is an embarrassing issue in the first place, with the support reaction making it all even worse. Thinking about returning the MacBook Pro.

Apple make the hardware. Apple make the bootcamp drivers! REALLY, Apple is responsible to deliver a fix. The problem is that Apple techs hide behind the online forums and frustrate Bootcamp users as they want us ALL on OSX. Reality is that REAL Engineering/VR etc "apps" only exist on the Windows platform. Hopefully a Hackintosh guru will save us, Apple cannot

I was having problems connecting to ubiquiti uap-lr with my mac boot camp (also with windows 10).

I was seeing ping times of ~1000ms to the router through the access point. What I did to fix it was to go to "Device Manager -> Network Adapters -> Broadcom 802.11ac" then go to the "Advanced" tab. There was an option in there, "Compatibility", I believe, which gave option between "Better Performance" or "Better Compatibility". I switched it to "Better Compatibility" and it took care of the crazy ping time.

I have the exact same issues and it's very frustrating. I'm on a 15 inch MacBook Pro (late 2016) and have nothing but problems with WiFi and to some extent, Bluetooth. I noticed it got much worse recently after doing the Windows 10 Creator update, but who really knows. I've tried a lot of the stuff mentioned in this thread and other solutions elsewhere, but to no avail. Doing anything that requires the internet under bootcamp is currently not an option and I don't know how to fix it

Tired of touchbar, ui lags, low battery life in mac os.
Now I've tried to fix wifi problems on bootcamp and now I realise that it's impossible.
I've wroked around every possible way of fixing the issue but still having packet loss, high ping and wifi droppings out.
I want to smash this device in the wall and buy Win10 notebook.
The reason I am stiil here - the price I've paid, macOS(still better then win10) and gorgeous screen.
I don't know the way apple could convince me to buy any top end macbook in next 10 years.
Feeling device as uncompleted peace of you know...

Hi,

Purchased DriverMax for AUD$14. Ran each driver update at a time, rebooting when required, and creating restore points.

I have all functionality irrespective of wifi, USB plug in. Runs like it says on the box. I dont work for DriverMax.

DriverMax looks not trustable it's a PUP and who knows what is can bring to your system...
