Windows 11 Wifi Problem

Hi danielrutkowski,

First off, people here trying to help other people are volunteers, so we are not Microsoft or MS engineers.

This Insider Forum is for people who are testing W11 before its released to the public so we expect problems along the way and report back to feed back hub (win + f)

If you want to know what work goes into one web page click ctrl + U, now think about the operating system, plus hardware, drivers and program/apps you soon see its not an easy thing to do.

the Bios is the first program that starts up and manufacturers do update this if they discover an error in their firmware or find a better way of connecting to the operating system. It does include network hardware as well.

What make and model is your computer and we will try and help

Most issues I have read about seem to be with Intel wireless and they have released a few drivers lately.

Hi Chrisisventing,

This forum is for Insiders who are testing the three channels of Windows 11 Dev, Beta and PR.

For Windows 11 public release use this forum for your enquirers Results in Windows - Microsoft Community

We have three Apples computers here and they also have their problems but all electronics can / will have problems from time to time.

My network card is an Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz and I'm running on a Fujitsu U7310.

I had two issues:

Issue 1: having to connect manually every time I start the PC.

Issue 2: constant disconnects and having to manually reconnect.

After updating to Windows 11 I lost wi-fi connection once every 5 to 30 minutes and had to manually reconnect every time.

What fixed the constant disconnecting (issue 2) for me was downgrading the network card driver to an older version. Previously I had driver version 22.90.0.5 from 27.09.2021 (I tried installing a newer one that was posted here, but it didn't take - might give it another try later on), but after downgrading to driver version 21.60.0.5 dated 11.11.2019 I haven't lost connection again. However, I still have to connect manually after turning the PC on, so there are still some kinks to work out.

The proposed fix by Ackphfft didn't work for me - for either driver version. I didn't test if it affected the constant disconnects on the newer version, but neither versions connected automatically when I started the PC after holding the off-button for a whole minute.

So issue 1 remains unfixed for the time being, but I'll be back if I find a solution.

TL;DR: downgrade the network driver version if you keep disconnecting.

Clean Installation of Wireless Drivers (intel.com) and Recommended Settings for 802.11ac Connectivity (intel.com)

My wifi is ASX201, not AX200 as stated earlier but they use the same drivers
