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 just setup the Windows Insider Program & after the WIndows updates, my wi-fi on my Surface laptop is now appears to be working for the first time in months.

    The Microsoft Catalog the latest version is the one noted with the issue. And the SurfacePro6_Win10_18362_19.091.8177.0.msi from here:https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=57514 did not install an updated Wifi driver.

    Is there a direct download link for the Wifi driver?

    Thanks,

    Joel
