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?

I want Microsoft to give this some attention, and Eddy Atinda who posted this item as solved, has been absent since, and not replying other users also.
Can you ask MS/Eddy to remove that his response is an "Answer" because clearly this is not solved, and once marked as an Answer, they are not paying attention to this anymore.

The Windows team is not involved in testing Surface drivers. The Surface folks
just "use" the Windows Insider rings for testing. I have always thought they
should have their own testing program.

2019-11-13T14:43:07+00:00 Hey @Eddy Atinda, how long does it take to run "Quality Testing" on a driver. Does it take a team of Dev's 3.5 months to fix a driver? So... what exactly do you guys do?

2019-11-13T14:40:42+00:00 Why would they not include the Fixed drivers in the actual 1909 update...?? This just seems outrageous.
Im basically trying to work with a useless "Surface" computer. Are they trying to promote Apple or something?
So was there a point to @Eddy Atinda's "Answer" earlier... seems like a run-around to me...
