RDP works on wired connection, but it gets stuck on "estimating connection quality" over WIFI

  • 772

I'm trying to connect to a Windows Server 2012 R2 using RDP.

It works fine using the ethernet cable, but it gets stuck on "estimating connection quality" if I try to connect using WIFI. The WIFI router gives me access to the exact same network the cable does.

  • The server is hosted on Amazon.
  • I can connect to other internal servers and also on Azure VMs via RDP at the same client machine.

Any thoughts?

  1. If having Windows detect your connection quality is giving you grief, I would recommend working around the problem by setting it manually. (The Experience tab of the built-in Windows RDP client, mstsc.exe).

    Once you've selected any of the other options, you can manually adjust the settings (by checking or unchecking the check boxes) to be whatever you wish.

  3. I was having the same issue on a Windows 10 machine remoting to Server 2012. I had to restart the machine every time I logged in. I found that the mstsc.exe (RDP Session) got hung up in the task manager. When I killed the process in task manager and restarted a fresh RDP session it went through with no issues. JP
