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?

2019-08-12T17:09:24+00:00 Hello,
Same problem with the network driver here to. All upload streams (WLAN normal 2.4ghz) were EXTREMELY slow! I even had problems sending text e-mails!
I have the Surface Pro ( Surface_Pro_1796) with Win 10
Returned to 15.68.9125.57 - solved all problems.
Best regards,
Nic

Rings before deploying to production and in this case, seemingly ignored the
bugs that were filed in the Feedback Hub clearly showing broken connectivity.
Many people are mentioning commercial grade/mesh AP's like Amplify, Unify,
Ubiquiti, Watchguard.
