Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. – Net – 15.68.17013.110 WiFi driver breaks 5GHz connection on the Surface Book (1st Gen i5 with dGPU 256 GB)

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 have the same problem with surface pro 5. 

    Only some wifi networks with 5GHz can not be connected. 

    As many of others saying that it worked after rolling back to the older version for the driver, I also wanted to try that but the button for rolling back is kinda blocked. 

    Neither rolling back can be done, nor driver update can be done. 

    Is there anyone has the same as mine? Anyone successful to fix that without rolling back?

    All I can do now is just wait until Microsoft uploads the fixed version of driver.

    I have the same problem with my Surface Book 2 (i5-128gb). Not only does my WiFi not work, but my Bluetooth also stops working too. I had to rollback both Bluetooth and WiFi Drivers to get them working again. As of today 9/17/2019. my WiFi driver is the only problem I have, they seem to have fixed the Bluetooth problem.

    It didn't work. What it seems to work is the option to Roll Back Driver. Sorted

    that's because it is already half installed, you have to install it, so do the

    restart, then roll it back and THEN block it. perhaps
