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?

    Barb,

    I have a Surface Studio Gen 1 running Windows 10 - 1909 with latest updates and received the Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. - Bluetooth - 15.68.17017.115 and Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. - net - 15.68.17017.115 drivers through Windows update today (1/29/2020). Looks like Microsoft is beginning to push out these drivers for general availability.  Hopefully these drivers fix the WiFi and Bluetooth issues so many people are experiencing.

    I would really, really appreciate it if you would post a screen shot showing the

    driver tab of the Marvell WiFi adapter showing this .115 driver.

    Yes - insiders slow ring - im on Windows 10 Insider Preview 19041.21 - I see a Marvell driver listed in the driver updates section of my update history "Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. - Bluetooth - 15.68.17017.115" installed on 1/23 - says bluetooth but the network adapter is the same .115 version. Hope that helps.

    I'm trying to get the previous poster to clarify where he got the .115 driver he mentioned. 

    And I agree with everything YOU said.
