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?

the interesting part is .. my WLAN got fixed .. BT not ..
What’s your bluetooth doing? Given it uses 2.4GHz I suspect your problems may not be related to 5GHz WiFi issues.

2020-03-23T14:43:24+00:00 This continues to be an issue for me and it is even worse now that I'm working from home more as a result of the virus lockdown. My wifi and bluetooth drivers are constantly crashing. It is extremely disruptive.
