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?

2019-11-30T04:24:23+00:00 Hi @Eddy Atinda
The update did not fix the wifi issue even after updating to 1909 and .112 driver
-Still Can't connect to ANY 5Ghz wifi, even my home
-Can't connect to many 2.4Ghz wifi networks, while my phone is able to (and doesn't have 5Ghz/ac) only some networks show up, and the connection is very poor (less than 50%)
-At a major Hotel chain, I could not connect at all, no networks even showed up, while people with Dells, Lenovos, Macbooks had no problem, neither did my phone.
I've had to roll back drivers again, and try to uninstall updates, but not all updates will Uninstall.
Come on guys, why is this taking so long to fix... it's just a driver, that is rendering our Surfaces completely useless!
