Recently installed Windows 11. The wifi remains connected for sometime and then after some time drops. Nothing I do can reconnect again. Only a complete restart fixes the wifi and then after sometime the connection gets dropped again. What can I do to fix this?

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Windows update

    So I have a similar issue, new Huawei laptop but it is the same Intel W-FI 6 AX201 160MHZ NIC,

    network drops out - its is actually only on 2.4 GHZ you get this, switching to the 5G seems to eliminate the problem.

    So if your router does 5G switch to that.

    I tried that latest driver from Intel but it did not not help.

    Basically the authentication and indentification process is failing on 2.4GHZ so anytime the wi-fi has to re-auth it fails.

    strangely it does succeed some times. It is not signal strength.

    Looked into this a bit more, seems like it is the TPA2/PSK that is the issue. I switch off the security on my wi-fi and didnt get a single drop out.

    So combination of TPA2/PSK, Intel W-FI 6 AX201 160MHZ NIC, and Vigor 2860 router causes the problem.

    Intel AC 9462 with same build of Win 11 and same router is fine, so something to do with TPA2/PSK and the AX201 160MHZ NIC

    Would love to hear if anyone has the same issue but with TPA3 security enabled?

    Sorry for the late necro of an older thread, but just got a new laptop last week, which came with Windows 11 pre-installed on it, and just got this stupid problem tonight....

    I swear Microsoft pulled Windows 11 out of the oven & served it up, before it was done cooking. The number of bugs / issues I have found with this excuse for an operating system is next to ridiculous, and I almost wish I could downgrade to a more functional Windows version now, but the option is not available after a very short amount of time (10 days I believe) to downgrade for free. I am already spent now just from buying the new laptop, so spending more on a replacement operating version is not realistic.

    Anyhoo, as for this dorpping WiFi thing, I found that doing a reboot back to desktop seems to correct it, but it is frustrating, especially in you are in the middle of something tha requires internet connection.

    Really sloppy work from Microsoft, on this WIndows version!!**
