The title says it all, I updated the wifi driver to "Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. – Net – 15.68.17013.110", and after that update, I can't connect to a 5GHz wifi connection, I can only connect to 2.4 GHz. when i try to connect to the 5GHz, it says: "Unable to connect to this network". Uninstalling the wifi driver, and restarting the device did help me get the 5GHz connection back to my Surface book, but when i decided to try to install the same driver again, and try to connect to 5GHz again, the same "Unable to connect to this network" appears. Does anyone have this issue?

2019-11-21T14:39:40+00:00 The Microsoft Catalog the latest version is the one noted with the issue. And the SurfacePro6_Win10_18362_19.091.8177.0.msi from here:https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=57514 did not install an updated Wifi driver.
Is there a direct download link for the Wifi driver?
Thanks,
Joel

I have been asking for quite a while that someone from Surface post an update. I
actually have no way of contacting Eddy, but have sent email to Microsoft forum
management on the need for an update.
