Of course. Here are the most likely causes and solutions, shortened:

1. Driver Check (Most Likely Fix)

Don't use Windows Update. Get the latest Wi-Fi driver directly from Intel's website for your specific NUC model.

2. Network Prioritization

Teams is sensitive to bandwidth fights. During a call, close other apps (browsers, Dropbox, updates).

3. Power Management

Go to Device Manager > Network Adapters. Right-click your Wi-Fi card > Properties > Power Management. Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power."

4. Teams-Specific Settings

In a Teams meeting, go to Settings > Devices. Turn OFF "Dynamically adjust video quality" and "Reduce bandwidth for video". This can stabilize the connection.

5. Interference from VPN/Antivirus

Temporarily disable any third-party VPN or antivirus/firewall software to test if they are throttling Teams.

Start with the driver and power management settings, as they are the most common fixes for this exact issue.
