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?

I'm simply not technical enough to understand what you are doing, but I feel for you. I downloaded the latest Windows 11 update that was released last week after reading there are no issues. But it really is too soon to tell. For instance my file manager doesn't look the same. I hate that. Don't mess with my files.
Ok I have done some more work on this and it looks like there is a bug in the WPA2/PSK, If I turn off security on the wi-fi everything is just fine.
No drop outs,
So seems to be the combination of the network card and Windows 11 at one end in my case a Vigor 2860 router at the other.
Win 11 is fine with other wi-fi cards from Intel, so seems specific to the AX201 - at least for me.
it's just a mess to see a huge number of users having the same issue, and Microsoft didn't even look at the cause of the issue.
I really wish to know why some of us for example has the power management feature linked to their Wi-Fi adapter while others don't have it. Is it linked with the hardware manufacturers and the running system?! I wish to know if HP for example is providing a software for its laptop that controls the power consumption on their devices.. why I don't have the rest of options related to the USB and the network adapters
can you see the difference?
by a simple search, you'll find others talking about the same thing, some says it's linked to the power plan you're using on your device like here:
Question - Why are the Advanced Power Setting options so different between my Acer and my Alienware | Tom's Hardware Forum (tomshardware.com)
the irony, I can't even create an high performance plan because that thing is missing from the windows on my laptop 😂
so, yeah! I don't have a control over my network adapter and how it responds to power saving profile.
I have to agree. Why hasn't Microsoft resolved this issue? Windows 11 is garbage without a resolution.
The amount of time and frustration this issue has cause is infuriating.
It is not as clear cut that it is Microsoft, it may in fact be the Intel drivers written by Intel
